Constant-Level Liquid Level Controller for Panel Integration
The Omron K8DT-LS1TA is a constant-level liquid level controller designed for DIN-rail mounting in control panels. It operates on a 100-240VAC supply and monitors liquid level via a probe sensing resistance between 10 and 100 kOhm. The built-in delay timer prevents nuisance trips from surface turbulence or splashing — the output switches only after the level condition persists for the set delay period.
Sensitivity and Wiring Considerations
The sensitivity adjustment covers 10 to 100 kOhm, matching common conductive liquids (water, weak acids/bases) with stainless or carbon probes. The 100 m maximum distance between controller and sensor allows remote tank monitoring without signal degradation. Termination is via screw terminals — no special crimp tooling needed for field wiring. The solid-state output switches directly, so no intermediate relay is required for PLC or alarm inputs.
