BEDIA level monitoring sensors are used to monitor the filling levels of liquids. The sensors react when a filling level is exceeded or falls below a limit. Aqueous mediums like coolants, AdBlue®, fresh water, waste water, bilge water and oil-based liquids like motor oils, hydraulic oils, fuels and brake fluids can be monitored. Since they contain no mechanical moving parts, their function will not be influenced by dirt particles or other influences. No electrical current is sent through the medium via an electrode with BEDIA sensors, an electrolysis of the medium is not possible. Operating Principle The function of the sensor is based on the capacitive principle. It detects the change in capacitance that arises when an electrode surrounded by air is immersed into a liquid medium. This change in capacitance at the electrode of the sensor excites an oscillator, causing it to oscillate. Then this signal is processed by a microprocessor-based evaluation circuit.
