Innovative designMicroprocessor controlled highfrequency capacitance spectrumprofiling technology suppresses foam and residue build-up.

Reliable alternative to tuning forksNo mechanical components to bendor bridge. A direct drop-in replace-ment for troublesome fork sensors.

Sanitary designFDA approved 316L stainless steelhousing and PEEK sensing tipconstruction create a seal-free design.

Washdown rated IP 69KDesigned to perform in the harshestenvironments of hot high pressurewater and caustic chemicals.

Flexible installationA full range of process connectionsand probe lengths cover a wide rangeof applications.

Ready to useFactory preset for plug-and-play ofthe most commonly used mediamakes installation fast and easy.

Programmable with IO-LinkAdjustable sensitivity allows for usewith a broad range of media types.

LMT Point Level Sensors –reliably suppress residues, splashes and foam

ifm's LMT Series point-levelsensor is designed to monitorthe level of liquids and viscousmedia in food and beverageapplications.

The sensor uses high-frequencycapacitance technology that eliminates false tripping due to residue buildup.

Models are available for reliably sensing specific typesof media and provide plug-and-play installation.

Meets food and beveragesanitary requirements

The sensor’s 316 stainless steelbody and smooth food-gradePEEK sensing tip ensures chem-ical compatability even withthe harshest cleaning agents.

The LMT sensor attaches tovarious mounting adapters to provide a true sanitarymounting system.

The LMT sensor is idealfor pipe level applica-tions and eliminatesobstructions in theflow path that reducethroughput.

Designed and tested to withstand theharshest sanitary environments

LMT models for specific media types

LMT sensors are factory set for different types of media. Each sensor’ssensitivity, however, can be set for any media via IO-Link and the LineRecorder Sensor.The Sensor software simplifies parameter setting and monitoring of different sensors.
