For non-conductive media, as explosion-proof version. The new liquid alarm sensor type KS3 EX replaces the KS2.EX. The KS3 EX is an adequate replacement for the KS2.EX model. The former KS2 plastic enclosure has been replaced by a rugged aluminium case. In association with the new Type Examination Certificate, the temperature range of the liquid alarm sensor has been extended to -20 °C up to 50 °C (~-4 °F up to 122 °F).
Liquid alarm sensors are used in gas sample conditioning systems for monitoring gas cooling and condensate drain-off devices in order to provide protection for downstream analysis instruments. The monitoring device KS3 EX reliably signals the penetration of non-conductive (e.g. alcohol) and conductive (e.g. water) liquid in the case of cooling or condensate drain-off equipment being defective, thus avoiding expensive downtime as well as high repair costs for analysis instruments. In the event of an alarm, the power supply for the sample gas pump must be switched off or a solenoid valve must be switched idle in the sample conditioning system.
