5 Advantages of Optical Level Sensors over Float Switches | SST Sensing
Hi, I’m Michael from SST Sensing and I want to talk about our optical liquid level switches, and the benefits of our sensors over conventional float switches.
Our sensors are used all over the world and a wide range of applications.
From run-dry pump protection, leak detection and high and low alarm systems.
They are used to protect vital machinery, to detect level of fluids in vehicles and also to tell when there is liquid where it shouldn’t be.
Our sensors have many benefits over conventional float switches and I’m going to discuss five of those today.
One, our sensors are small, so only the sensor tip has to be in the process, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium or...

Where can i buy it ???? Amazon, ebay ? There is a link ?
Hi, can this sensor be fully submersed for long periods of time ? In salt water ?
hello, I bought one of these and connected it to the correct power supply of 5v as it was stated and as soon as i dipped it into water, it worked a few time to light up my LED and then smoke came from it and it stopped working. What can be the issue?
Can the sensor detect liquid without coming in intact with it? Does the device have a reading gauge or meter to detect deviations?
Hello Mr Duru, Thank you for your question and for watching the video. The sensor can only detect the presence of a liquid if the medium physically touches the tip of the sensor. Approximately 1mm of liquid is required to allow the sensor to switch. Please see this video for the animated explanation of the measurement principle: ruclips.net/video/PuRf3mT9jgo/видео.html The sensors are for the presence/absence of liquid. Similar to a switch, this gives a high/low output. There are a variety of different electrical outputs available depending on the application and interface requirements. I would suggest reviewing our popular Optomax Digital sensors to see the range of options: www.sstsensing.com/product/optomax-digital-range-of-liquid-level-switches-2/
@@SSTSensing Thanks for your reply, I'll scan through the links
HELLO WE ARE WORRIED ON GLASS PRISM AND SS TUBE JOINT LEAKAGE AT HIGHT TEMP WATER LEVEL SENSING WHICH MATERIAL U USE OR OR HOW RELIABLE IS THAT JOINT
I believe these sensors work exactly opposite as to how you described. When in air, the LED light is reflected inside the cone tip and return to the sensor. Once in any liquid, the LED light is able to escape.
STT - i am engineering a system that will turn on - when not in water. So the reverse of your sensor - could a circuit be reversed to create this operation?
Hi, If the supply voltage is between 4.5-15.4VDC then our Optomax Digital: (sstsensing.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/DS0032rev16_LLDigital.pdf) range would be a good choice. You would want a LOW IN AIR version. This will allow for a close to supply voltage output when in contact with liquid and 0V when in air. Examples of this would be LLC510D3L, LLC210D3LSH or LLC710D3LSH. All of these versions can be sampled on Digikey and Mouser. Please note if the supply voltage is not suitable or you have other questions regarding suitability then please send to technical@sstsensing.com and our engineers will assist directly. Hope this helps! SST
In hydroponics we avoid light in the reservoir, to prevent algae growth. Would the infra red light promote algae growth?
Can we use this level switch mount vertically on water line for switching purpose. Or is it working???
Hi Vishvnath, Mounting recommendations can be found in detail on our 2D Mounting drawings on our website - To prevent any compatibility issues with the sensor and application, we would recommend to contact our technical team at SST sensing to discuss the application: technical@sstsensing.com.
Can the sensor detect a drop of liquid?
Hi Khushu, In most applications, the answer would be YES. Our sensors are very sensitive and can detect a very small amount of liquid. We would have to know a little more about your application details as there is a few factors that have to be considered when dealing with a 'drop' of liquid. Our live chat feature is always available on sstsensing.com to discuss application queries like this!

Hello i was wondering if such sensor would work with liquids such as red wine and sparkling wine. Let me know
Hi, Yes! Our sensors woud certainly work with these type of liquids. If you would like to send more application details to sales@sstsensing.com, we would be more than happy to help. - SST
@@SSTSensing nice! The problem is that the enviorment will be really humid ( like droplets of product) and i think that this could be a problem because it could trigger the sensor accidentally
@@thephoenix8036 Our sensors are digital and contain a microcontroller. The software inside is designed to counter various environmental conditions and intelligently switch. However, there are limits to conditions such as very high humidity. If condensation is allowed and forms a drip on the sensor then it will be detected as it is liquid. I hope this helps! If you would like our Technical team to provide any futher application details and how we could help solve your problem, please contact technical@sstsensing.com - SST
great work!!!!

How well might these sensors work in an environment of high humidity or fog? Is the sensor apt to give a false positive for submersion if there is condensation, etc...? Thanks!
Hi David, Great question! - Our sensors are digital and contain a microcontroller. The software inside is designed to counter various environmental conditions and intelligently switch. However, there are limits to conditions such as high humidity. If condensation is allowed and forms a drip on the sensor then it will be detected as it is liquid. Our recommendation is to test a standard sensor in the environmental conditions of the application. If the sensor gives false positives in the high humidity conditions then contact technical@sstsensing.com - there is a possibility to try a different software version which could operate better under the humidity conditions. Hope this helps. SST
Do you have a sensor that can detect the presence of liquid along with its temperature? like a 2 in 1 rather than just the presence?
Hi Dhinesh, Unfortunately, this isn't a product we manufacture. You can view our full Liquid Level product range on our website here: www.sstsensing.com/sensors/liquid-level-switches/.
Does the sensor take in the liquid?
Hi Linah, The sensor does not take in liquid. The housing is completely sealed and comes in Trogamid and Polysulfone varients. Our Operation Guide can be found here: bit.ly/LL-Operation. Hope this helps.
Good product! I want to ask if this sensor can work with Resins (especially non transparent ones)? Thank you!
Hi Ilie, Yes - Our optical liquid level sensors would be able to work with resins (even non-transparent ones) If you would like to provide us with more information or if you would like us to provide a quotation, please contact sales@sstsensing.com. Hope this helps!
I would like this to tell me when it's no longer submerged and therefore my system has lost fluid, would this be okay to have in an airtight reservoir submerged and my system notify me once the sensor isn't covered in fluid?
Hi, Yes - This sounds like an ideal application. Would you be able to advise what the fluid is? If you would like us to provide a quotation, please contact sales@sstsensing.com with your power supply and output requirements are, and how many sensors you could possibly be looking at? Thanks, SST.
@@SSTSensing Mailed, thank you.
I have a black water tank on my boat and I would like to know when it is approaching the full mark. Do you think fluid movement inside the tank makes this product unsuitable for this kind of application?
Hi Ronald, an option to solve this problem would be to add a delay to your system. SST Sensing's liquid level sensors also contain micro-controllers which can be programmed to contain a delay within the sensor itself. If you could send more details of your application to technical@sstsensing.com, we would be more than happy to provide you with a more detailed solution. Thanks.
I put an active Piezo across the LED.
How does algae growth or iron bacteria affect the sensor?
Hi Mike, Our optical Liquid Level Sensors are very easy to maintain and clean. If algae growth is occurring on the sensor tip, simply cleaning the sensor tip should solve the problem. With that being said, it should take an extensive amount of time before algae or bacteria growth would effect the sensor. If you require more information for the sensor within you application, please contact technical@sstsensing.com. We would be more than happy to help!

Hey.....sorry had to ask, why didn't you guys explain the output voltage.....basically does it put out 12v ?
Hey Clifford, no need for apologies. In short: When dry the output is the same as the supply Voltage (4.5-15.4VDC). When wet, the output is 0V All information on this sensor can be found here: www.sstsensing.com/product/optomax-digital-range-of-liquid-level-switches-2/ This video was a review of our Optical Liquid Level Sensor by Adafruit, It was a 1:47 segment of an original 13:24 video.
