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.
Hi, Regarding Hazardous / Chemical materials, It would be best to discuss the correct product for your application with our technical department at technical@sstsensing.com, they would be more than happy to help. Alternatively, send us your email address and we will conact you as soon as possible! - SST
@@catpowervic Sort of yes. I found a guy who makes a sensor tolerant to meth he sent me a prototype and it works great. the problem is he doesn't respond to emails anymore.
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. Maybe they didn't have enough time🤷

Would your material survive in Methanol? I would like to monitor the level in a tank I have and I'm trying to come up with a solution.

Any luck with methanol ?

Hey.....sorry had to ask, why didn't you guys explain the output voltage.....basically does it put out 12v ?

I put an active Piezo across the LED.
Hi may i know any water sensors work from bottom of the glass or bottle?
