Electrode probes
To trigger actions, it is also possible to use electrode probes. This detection
is done with a set of stainless-steel electrodes suspended at different heights
in the tank. These electrodes are connected to a relay placed in the cabinet,
which interprets the measurement
and sends the signals of start, stop...
We commonly use 3 electrodes for a basic start / stop automatic system:
•
The first electrode is placed at the lowest possible level inside the tank,
and is used as a reference level. This low-level electrode is generally
called “COM” on diagrams.
•
Other electrodes are suspended at levels
where a level detection is
warranted.
On Figure 17 below, the COM electrode is installed at the bottom of the tank. When the tank is full, the water makes contact
between the COM electrode and the electrode 2. The relay interprets this contact as a «tank full» signal and stops the pump.
