EXTERNAL LEVEL SENSOR SYSTEM

Developed for use with photoresist and other high-purity chemicals, offers a clean reliable method of monitoring liquid levels. Each system monitors up to four bottles. An alarm sounds when the bottle is nearly empty, signalling that it is time to change bottles. This cuts resist costs by avoiding early bottle switching; and since the bottle is not allowed to run dry, wafer reworks and purging of the resist lines are eliminated.

  • Probe, Model XLSP
    An external capacitive probe is used to detect the level of the liquid chemical through any glass or plastic bottle, permitting the monitoring of liquids without direct contact. The probe is mounted within a bottle support that holds the bottle at a 45 degree angle. The external level sensor has no moving parts and does not need calibration.
  • Module, Model XLSM
    The external level sensor module monitors up to four probes. For each probe, an audio and visual signal occur when the alarm level is reached. The alarm can be silenced for five minutes, after which it is reactivated. The module also has an auxiliary output for use with the external remote control valve, for automatic bottle switching.
  • Remote Control Valve, Model XRCV
    The remote control valve automatically switches from an empty to a full bottle, saving personnel time. Also particles in the lines are reduced, since particles in the full bottle have to settle before liquid is drawn from the bottle
