Design and mode of operation

The design of the XT-1000 level sensor has been illustrated using the version with screw-
in unit (see Figure 1).
Inside sensor head (1) of the level sensor, concealed by cap (2), are the protected terminal
clamps and configuration buttons. The electrical connection is established by an
M16 x 1.5 screwed cable gland (3) or M12 plug-in connection at the top of the sensor
head and by ground connector (4) at the bottom of the sensor head (see "Installation"
and "User configuration").
Probe tube (5) features a screw-in unit (6) (cutting ring or sealing gland coupling) for
height adjustment capability or a flange (not shown) for fixed installation. Float (7) is the
key component for continuous gauging of the product filling level or boundary layer and
is held on the probe tube by a collar (8).
The XT-1000 B version is supplied without a process connection and float.
