Product Description P/N: LMC500
Description
The IFM Electronic LMC500 is a compact electronic point level sensor engineered for reliable liquid, viscous media, and bulk solid detection in industrial tanks and pipes. It utilizes high-frequency capacitive sensing technology to accurately detect media presence while ignoring foam, buildup, and condensate. Built with a durable stainless steel housing and PEEK sensing tip, this sensor prevents tank overflows and protects pumps from dry-running.

Information About LMC500
The LMC500 is a versatile solid-state level switch designed with a standard G1/2 threaded process connection for straightforward installation in tight spaces. Unlike traditional tuning forks or float switches that can jam with sticky residues, its smooth PEEK probe tip sheds viscous fluids effortlessly. Factory-calibrated for water-based media, it can also be easily adjusted via IO-Link or teach-in to detect oils, coolants, and dry bulk powders. Featuring a bright 360-degree multicolor LED ring and IP69K washdown protection, it provides unmistakable visual status indication in both industrial and hygienic processing applications.
Key Features:
-
Buildup Immunity: Advanced capacitive technology reliably ignores foam, sticky residue, and condensation to prevent false switching.
-
Compact Probe Design: Features a short, smooth PEEK sensing tip that installs cleanly into small pipes and space-constrained vessels.
-
360-Degree LED Ring: Provides clear, multi-directional visual feedback of switching status and power across the plant floor.
-
Versatile Media Detection: Detects water, oils, coolants, viscous pastes, and bulk solids with programmable sensitivity via IO-Link.
-
High Washdown Rating: Built with a 316L stainless steel body rated IP68 and IP69K for extreme durability in harsh environments.
-
No Moving Parts: Eliminates mechanical wear, sticking floats, and maintenance requirements over millions of switching cycles.
The LMC500 delivers the reliability and precision required for strict industrial and hygienic point level control.
