Baumer Ltd.

With the ISL 05x, Baumer offers a sensor for inductive conductivity measurement with integrated media temperature compensation and very short response time (< 3 s). With its 3A approval, the ISL is suitable for a variety of applications in the food and beverage industries, but also in the field of CIP (cleaning in place) of a wide range of facilities. With its measuring range from 0…999 mS/cm, the ISL covers every possible application in the food and beverage industries.

Baumer’s level switch LFFS is suitable for high process temperatures of up to 200 °C. A bright blue light on top of the switch shows when a media is detected. The indication can be seen easily even if the sensor is mounted on top of a tank. Thanks to the DN38 process connection, the sensor is excellently suitable for food and beverage industry applications. For the use in hazardous areas, different ATEX versions are available. It can be easily configured on PC via the FlexProgrammer 9701.

With the strain sensor DSRT, Baumer offers a sensor for indirect force measurement which can be used in the packaging industry, engineering, wind energy plants and many other industrial applications. The DSRT is the smallest strain sensor with the highest resolution (0.01 µε) available on the market. It is offered with measuring ranges from 0…100 µε up to 0…750 µε (micro strain: µm/m).

With the level switch LBFS, Baumer offers a cost-efficient and reliable alternative to widely-used vibration level switches. The device is able to detect the level of viscous or dry substances as well as liquids and can be mounted in any position in tanks or pipelines. The sensor is unaffected by flow, turbulence, bubbles, foam, and suspended solids. As the sensor head is smooth and very small, even adhesive media do not stick to it. The sensor’s short response time enables fast filling processes as well as an accurate and reliable keeping of levels.

With the PBSR, Baumer’s PB series includes a new pressure transmitter suitable especially for railway applications. It features a wide compensated temperature range from -50 °C to +85 °C with a total error band of only 1 %. Therefore, it can also be used in braking systems of trains at very low ambient temperatures. Thanks to the high dielectric insulation (1000 V, 50 Hz, 1 minute) the transmitter does not need to be dismounted for dielectric tests on the train.

Baumer’s pressure transmitter PFSX with SIL2 certification (Safety Integrity Level 2) has been developed according to the IEC 61508 standard. It is suitable for water treatment and energy generation applications as well as for applications in the chemical, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage industries. The measuring instrument comes with a 4…20 mA analogue output and two galvanically insulated relay outputs with integrated test functions for alarm purposes.

For temperature measurement in hygienic applications, Baumer offers the bimetal thermometer TBI with hygienic clamp process connections. It is especially suitable for the use in medical technology, pharmaceutical, and food & beverage industries. The thermometer is made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and can measure temperature ranges from -20 °C up to 300 °C. It conforms to accuracy class 1 according to the EN 13190 standard.

Baumer’s pressure transmitter ED701 is now available with a cooling neck for applications with high media temperatures of up to 300 °C. Thus, the device is suitable for pressure measurement especially in sterilisation processes in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food & beverage industries as well as in medical technology. The ED701 features high accuracy and long-term stability. It is available with several industrial and hygienic process connections.

With Baumer’s FlexProgrammer 9701, all pressure transmitters of the PB family can now easily be configured on PC. The battery-powered device can be used to recalibrate the full scale and the zero signal, to readjust the pressure range up to 20 % F.S., and for the data logging of pressure and temperature signals. Furthermore, with the FlexProgrammer the upper and lower output signals as well as the alarm output signal can be parameterised.

Baumer’s digital pressure switch series TED is now available with several 3A-approved process connections. Therefore, the hygienic measuring instrument is especially suitable for applications in the food and beverage and pharmaceutical industries.

With the FlexLevel Switch 4101 Baumer presents a new sensor which is based on frequency sweep technology. The device detects the level of liquids, viscous fluids and dry media. Due to the smooth, very small sensor head even adhesive media don’t stick whereby the adhesion error is very low. The level switch is suitable for overfill protection, low level detection, dry running protection and phase separation. It can be installed in any position and even at points difficult to access. The FlexLevel Switch 4101 can be easily configured on PC via the FlexProgrammer 9701.

With the ED752, Baumer offers a pressure transmitter for all kinds of hydrostatic level and depth measurement. In case of a signal drift, the zero point can be recalibrated. The device is characterised by high accuracy and long-term stability. It is suitable for applications in drinking water supply, hydroelectric power plants, flood protection, wastewater, pools, reservoirs, lakes and rivers, shipbuilding, and many industrial applications such as pump controls.

Water treatment applications place high demands on pressure and level measuring instruments. For these applications, Baumer offers robust sensors which are suitable for high vibrations as well as for the use with aggressive media. For example, sensors made of seawater-resistant Hastelloy C and with a ceramic sensing element are available for desalination plants. Flush mount versions are offered for sewage applications. The devices can be easily configured on PC via the FlexProgrammer 9701.

With the PBSN product, Baumer is introducing a new general purpose pressure transmitter series. Thanks to their modularity, the devices offer a high level of flexibility to suit customers’ exact application needs. The sensor, which is based on Transbar technology with a thick film ceramic measuring cell, is also suitable for applications with aggressive media. The Baumer FlexProgrammer enables the transmitter’s easy configuration.

With the PB series, Baumer is introducing a new pressure transmitter family based on a modular system which can be adjusted individually to customers’ needs. Remarkable is the high accuracy (of up to 0.1 % F.S.) over a large compensated temperature range of -40 °C up to +85 °C. The pressure range is between 100 mbar and 1600 bar. The FlexProgrammer 9701 enables the transmitter’s easy configuration.

With the Barflex, Baumer offers a robust digital manometer with integrated data memory. In the ATEX version Barflex 4Y, it is also suitable for the use in rough and hazardous surroundings. It can measure the gauge and absolute pressure of almost all liquid and gaseous media in a range from 500 mbar to up to 1000 bar and with an accuracy of up to 0.1 % of full scale. Used as a barometer, the Barflex displays the atmospheric pressure from 200 to 1150 hPa with an accuracy of 1 hPa.

For applications in gaseous and dusty surroundings, Baumer offers its FlexLevel Switch 4401 in various ATEX versions. They enable a safe level detection in hazardous areas. The ATEX certifications cover the zones 0, 1 and 2 as well as the zones 20, 21 and 22. The FlexLevel Switch can be easily configured on PC via the FlexProgrammer 9701. When used with a cooling neck, the switch is suitable for process temperatures from -40°C to up to 200 °C.

For its FlexLevel Switch 4401, Baumer offers a sliding connection making the hygienic level switch suitable for high process temperatures of up to 200 °C. The optional sliding connection is available in 100 and 250 mm length and can serve as a cooling neck or extension, for example if the medium has to be reached through the tank insulation or the level detection has to be adjusted to a certain height. Thanks to the DN38 process connection, the sensor is excellently suitable for food and beverage industry applications. For the use in hazardous areas, different ATEX versions are available.

With the series ZPN, ZDPN and ZT, Baumer offers very robust pressure and temperature switches developed especially for the use in nuclear power stations. The pressure switches are suitable for pneumatic or hydraulic control, for power generation safety equipments and for pressurized chambers control. They are resistant to short duration overpressure and show a good vibration resistance. The ZPN can measure a gauge pressure from -1 bar up to 600 bar with a very small intermediate range from -2 mbar up to 10 mbar. The ZDPN measures a differential pressure from 2 mbar up to 120 bar.
