Areas of Application and Advantages BEDIA CLS 10 stands for special versions of our well-proven CLS 40 series for heavy duty applications. Currently, the BEDIA CLS 10 series includes a variety of sensors, which are compatible replacement parts for level switches from Cooper Standard and Robert Shaw which are obsolete nowadays – and this in well proven BEDIA quality. This also includes sensors with 2 complementary CMOS outputs. It should be emphasized that the water sensors with two complementary outputs can be operated with a supply voltage of 4.75 V DC – 32 V DC. Operating Principle The function of the sensor is based on the capacitive principle. It detects the change in capacitance that arises when an electrode surrounded by air is immersed into a liquid medium. This change in capacitance at the electrode of the sensor excites an oscillator, causing it to oscillate (at a frequency of approx. 600 kHz). Then this signal is processed by a microprocessor-based evaluation circuit.

BEDIA 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 and oil-based liquids like motor oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids can be monitored. Operating Principle The function of the sensor is based on the capacitive principle. It detects the change in capacitance that occurs when an electrode surrounded by air is immersed into a liquid medium. This change in capacitance at the electrode of the sensor excites an oscillator. This signal is processed by a microcontroller-based evaluation circuit which activates or deactivates an output stage. Types of Media The level monitoring sensors are designed for two different media types: For electrically conductive liquid media with relative permittivity within a range of εr 35 … 85 (water, coolant, water/glycol mixture) For electrically non-conductive liquid media

BEDIA level monitoring sensors are used to monitor the filling levels of liquids. The sensors react when a filling level is exceeded or falls below a limit. Aqueous mediums like coolants, AdBlue®, fresh water, waste water, bilge water and oil-based liquids like motor oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids can be monitored. Since they contain no mechanical moving parts, their function will not be influenced by dirt particles or other influences. No electrical current is sent through the medium via an electrode with BEDIA sensors, an electrolysis of the medium is not possible.
