SHR level monitoring sensors are used to monitor the filling levels of liquids. The sensors detect when a filling level is exceeded or falls below a limit. Water-based liquids like coolants, AdBlue®, fresh water, waste water, bilge water and oil-based liquids like engine oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids can be monitored. Due to their rugged design, high IP protection classes and a working temperature range from -40°C to +125 °C (-40 °F to +257 °F) the SHR monitoring sensors are primarily used in the following areas:
- Ships
- Utility vehicles
- Engines
- Agricultural machinery
- Construction equipment
- Hydraulic power-train control systems
The main advantages of SHR level monitoring sensors are:
- They are compact and have a rugged design.
- They are resistant to vibration.
- They have a high IP protection class.
- They have a wide working temperature range.
- They can be used to monitor a variety of liquids.
- They can be used in a variety of applications.
Here is a table that compares the specifications of BEDIA and SHR level monitoring sensors:
| Specification | BEDIA | SHR |
|---|---|---|
| Working temperature range | -40°C to +125 °C (-40 °F to +257 °F) | -40°C to +125 °C (-40 °F to +257 °F) |
| IP protection class | IP68 | IP68 |
| Liquids that can be monitored | Water-based liquids like coolants, AdBlue®, fresh water, waste water, bilge water and oil-based liquids like engine oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids | Water-based liquids like coolants, AdBlue®, fresh water, waste water, bilge water and oil-based liquids like engine oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids |
| Applications | Ships, utility vehicles, engines, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, hydraulic power-train control systems | Ships, utility vehicles, engines, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, hydraulic power-train control systems |
As you can see, the specifications of BEDIA and SHR level monitoring sensors are very similar. The main difference is that SHR is a newer model that has been improved with a few additional features.
