Rechner KFA-5-1-L-P-A-Y50 Probe

The KFA-5-1-L-P-A-Y50 probe is a capacitive filling-level sensor from Rechner designed to interface with the KFA-5 series evaluation units (KFA-5-1-…-Y50) for non-contact liquid or paste level measurement. The active zone is manufactured from 1.4404 / AISI 316L stainless steel (FDA conform), enabling hygienic, food-contact compatible service in demanding environments. The “L” denotes a selectable probe length (400–2000 mm range depending on order), allowing installation to suit vessel geometry and mounting constraints, while a 2 m connector cable links the probe to the corresponding KFA evaluation unit. The probe uses a Y50 plug connection and is rated IP67, with some variants specified for operation up to 200 °C, supporting use in challenging process conditions. Typical applications include tank, silo, and vessel level sensing in industries such as food, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals, when integrated with Rechner’s capacitive-amplifier family for reliable, continuous level data.
