The Allnet ALL3036 is a liquid level monitor in the form of a limit switch, specifically designed for use in IP-based building automation systems. The device is installed vertically and consists of a pin with a float ring, made of polyamide, a material resistant to various liquids such as gasoline, oil, and brake fluid. It features a 1 m long connection cable intended for connection to compatible process control systems. The housing is made of plastic and allows for use in both indoor and outdoor environments.

Applications

The sensor is suitable for monitoring liquid levels in technical installations, such as in basements, heating systems, or industrial environments. It functions as a limit switch, triggering a signal state when a specific level is reached. The application areas include both indoor and outdoor uses, with the robust polyamide construction ensuring chemical resistance against commonly encountered liquids.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The ALL3036 operates as a mechanical float sensor, closing the contact when a predefined liquid level is reached. The pin with float ring design enables precise positioning within the monitored container. The 1 m long connection cable is designed for connection to process control systems, with connections made via standardized interfaces. The use of polyamide ensures high chemical resistance, enabling use in environments with aggressive liquids.

Technology Explained Simply

The sensor uses a mechanical principle: the float moves with the liquid level and closes the electrical contact when a specific height is reached. This state is transmitted to the central control system, where it can be processed as an alarm or status message. The use of polyamide as the material provides high resistance to wear and chemical influences, extending the sensor's lifespan in demanding environments. The connection cable is designed for easy integration into existing process control systems.

Compatibility and Accessories

The ALL3036 is compatible with a range of process control systems, including models ALL3419, ALL3500, ALL3500PoE, ALL3696, ALL3420, ALL5000, ALL4500, ALL5000v2, ALL3418, ALL5100, ALL4176, ALL3692. These systems enable integration into IP-based building automation systems. Available accessories include various process control systems such as the ALL3500v2 with 4 sensor ports and WLAN, the ALL3419 with 3 sensor ports and WLAN, and the ALL5000v2 with 16 sensor ports and 48,3 cm ( 19 inch ) mounting. Compatibility with these systems allows for flexible and scalable system design.

Installation and Mounting

The sensor is installed vertically into the container to be monitored. Mounting is done by inserting the pin into an appropriate hole or opening, with the float ring directly indicating the liquid level. The 1 m long connection cable is connected to the corresponding interface of the process control system. Installation requires no additional tools or components, as the device is designed for direct use.

Operational Advantages

Using the ALL3036 provides reliable and low-maintenance level monitoring. The chemical resistance of the polyamide material ensures a long service life, even in aggressive environments. Compatibility with various process control systems enables flexible integration into existing systems. The mechanical design as a limit switch ensures clear and unambiguous signal transmission, which can be used for controlling pumps, alarm systems, or other automated functions.
