The Siemens 3UG5207-1H is a 1-pole electrode for lateral installation in level monitoring. Its mechanically stable design suits continuous submersion in conductive liquids.
Group Code R711 and Product Group 5885 are internal Siemens classifications that help cross-reference the part within their broader level-monitoring portfolio. For a sourcing buyer, these codes confirm the 3UG5207-1H belongs to the standard stockable product class A — meaning it's a regularly inventoried line item, not a special-order or project-specific variant. The packaging dimensions (25 x 24 x 24 mm) are compact enough to fit through a 1-inch NPT or PG fitting; the lateral installation geometry means the electrode enters the tank wall horizontally, not from the top, which matters when headroom is tight or the vessel has a fixed cover.
Level monitoring electrodes of this class are used in industrial fluid handling — cooling towers, pump protection, tank overfill prevention, and leak detection in refrigeration skids. The 1-pole lateral design is particularly common in retrofits where the tank sidewall already has a threaded port, or in vessels where top access is obstructed by insulation, agitators, or structural beams. In a cold-storage warehouse, for example, this electrode would mount through the side of a glycol or brine tank, with the sensing tip positioned at the desired trip level.
