Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VPC205 Conductive Level Probe?

The Carlo Gavazzi VPC205 is a robust conductive level probe designed for reliable detection and control of electrically conductive liquids in industrial tanks, vessels and process systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi VPC level probe range, it features two stainless-steel electrodes for dependable liquid level sensing.

The VPC205 uses the conductive sensing principle, detecting liquid when an electrically conductive medium makes contact with the electrodes. Its two isolated probes make it suitable for level monitoring applications such as filling and draining control when connected to a compatible conductive level controller.

With two 0.5 m AISI 316 stainless-steel electrodes measuring 4 mm in diameter, a durable PVC housing and 1/2-inch pipe thread, the VPC205 provides a practical solution for fixed installation in industrial tanks and vessels. Screw-terminal connection and IP67 protection support reliable operation in demanding environments.

Reliable Conductive Level Detection for Industrial Liquids

Conductive level probes operate by using the electrical conductivity of the monitored liquid to complete a sensing circuit when the liquid reaches the electrodes. When connected to a suitable conductive level controller, this provides a simple and dependable method of monitoring liquid levels and controlling filling or draining processes.

The Carlo Gavazzi VPC205 combines two insulated stainless-steel electrodes with a rugged PVC housing and threaded process connection, making it well suited to permanent installation in tanks and vessels containing compatible electrically conductive liquids.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial tank level monitoring and control.
  • Water and wastewater handling systems.
  • Pump filling and draining control.
  • High- and low-level liquid detection.
  • Overflow prevention systems.
  • Process vessels containing electrically conductive liquids.
