MAKING MODERN LIVING POSSIBLE

The AKS 4100 - Liquid Level Sensor

A whole new level of

flexibility and accuracy
Experience the AKS 4100 Liquid Level Sensor with
TDR Guided Radar technology (Time Domain
Reflectometry) fully adapted to the Industrial
Refrigeration segment – reliable and with high
accuracy.
All sensors in the new AKS 4100 family are easy to
install and fully flexible. No on-site calibration is
needed, and the probe length can easily be adjusted
on site.

7:1
Inventory reduction
One AKS 4100 covers
seven different applica-
tion areas and several
lengths.

75%
Time savings
Due to the very easy on-site
adjustment procedure, with
AKS 4100 you will experience
significant time savings during
installation.
