The HLS 6010 probes measure tank contents safely, reliably and maintenance-free because they use the floatless technology developed by Hectronic. This technology offers the advantage that it is not subject to wear.
Thanks to the floatless technology, a change of liquid is recognised and automatic adaptation to the new medium is carried out. Thus, one probe type can be used for almost all liquids. Reduced warehousing costs and a reduction in the variety of stock are the result. A smaller number of order variants simplifies handling. Even if the product is changed, there is no need to adapt the software or hardware components of the HLS probe in the tank.
Compared to measuring by means of the floater position the floatless technology is significantly less sensitive to pollution in the tank as no parts can stick together or get jammed.
