This product emits radiation in the infrared range and uses LASER technology. It has been developed to meet the class 1 requirements of IEC 60825- 1:2014 (Third Edition). Provided that the user follows NOVUS recommendations described in this manual, the radiation emission will remain within the limits of class 1.
PRESENTATION TL400-V is a non-intrusive level transmitter with no moving parts, using an infrared laser technology (~920 nm) that is completely safe to the human eye (LASER CLASS-1). Its measurement principle is based on ToF (Time of Flight), providing an accurate and reliable distance measurement, regardless of the color or transparency of the surface .
The identification label, located on the top of the housing, shows the model, serial number, and product code. To make it easier to see the serial number, you can also scan the QR Code.
