Operational Description
e OPL series utilizes the optical
principles of a prism to detect the
presence or absence of a liquid
as compared with air. e sensor
contains a small infrared LED and
a phototransistor light receiver.
Light from the LED is directed into
the prism at the tip of the sensor.
When the container is empty, light
from the LED is reflected within
the prism back to the receiver. As
the liquid rises to cover the sensor,
light is refracted out into the liquid
and is not returned to the receiver.
e change in state is detected and
results in an output signal.
e OPL is designed to meet
standards set by major food and
health agencies around the world. It
conforms to the Japan Ministry of
Health and Welfare and to the FDA
standards in the USA.
UL approved components are
used in construction of the sensor.
