This sensor's antenna is larger than that of the MWS-S and MWS-C type sensors; it also comes with a built-in flange for easy installation.

The MWS-24N type microwave sensor is a Level Switch which consists of a transmitter and a receiver, installed face to face. The transmitter unit transmits a microwave beam which is received at the receiver unit. An output relay is released when the beam is obstructed.

This microwave switch is best suited for level sensing in harsh environments and such locations where the sensing surfaces are likely to become dirty or covered with paper, ash or other material. The ability of microwaves to penetrate such substances on the sensing surfaces makes this type of sensor of the best choice for single point level detection.

Some of the more common level sensing applications includes;

● Refuse in waste disposal/garbage bins,

● Minerals/ore/granules/grain in dry bulk hoppers,

● Liquid storage tanks,

● Ash/slag levels in incinerators.

The sensor may be fitted with a variety of standard flanges and other accessories to allow for use in high temperature and high pressure environments.
