The Lovato SCM50 31SCM50 is a single-pole electrode for conductive liquid level detection, designed for use with compatible Lovato level control equipment in boilers, tanks, reservoirs and industrial process systems. Featuring a 500 mm electrode length, it provides a clearly defined sensing point for applications requiring reliable monitoring of conductive liquids.
The SCM50 operates as the probe within a conductivity-based level control system. When conductive liquid reaches the electrode, compatible external level control electronics detect the resulting electrical path and can use this change to control pumps, filling or draining processes, alarms and other automated functions. The electrode itself is a passive sensing component and therefore requires suitable external electronics to provide the complete level control function.
Designed for demanding industrial applications, the 31SCM50 features a stainless steel electrode, 3/8-inch connection, maximum operating temperature of +100 °C and maximum operating pressure of 10 bar. With a product weight of approximately 115 g, it provides a compact and robust solution for conductive liquid level monitoring.
Conductive level detection uses the electrical conductivity of the liquid as part of the sensing circuit. The Lovato SCM50 electrode is positioned at the required detection height within a boiler, tank or vessel and connected to compatible external level control electronics. When conductive liquid reaches the electrode, the controller detects the resulting electrical condition and can initiate the required switching or alarm function.
With its 500 mm stainless steel electrode, the SCM50 is suitable for applications requiring a robust probe with a defined sensing depth. Depending on the associated controller and electrode arrangement, it can contribute to minimum and maximum level monitoring, pump starting and stopping, filling and draining control, overflow prevention and low-level alarms.
