Frequently Asked Questions

Level Controller Topic: Use Different Terminal Block for Liquid Leakage Sensors

 

FAQ No. FAQ00691

 

Question

 

Is it possible to use a commercially available terminal block or to make one yourself, instead of using the one that comes with K7L Liquid Leakage Sensors?
 


Answer

Yes, either of these can be used. However, when using a different terminal block, make sure that proper insulation is provided between the terminals, and that there is no danger of a ground fault in the cables or Liquid Leakage Sensing Bands.

 

Proper and improper insulation


Note:  For explosion-proof areas, use F03-20 Liquid Leakage Sensor, which has been certified for intrinsic safety and explosion-proof capability.
