The leakage probes of the series PUK / PUKK are used in conjunction with a suitable evaluation for conductive leakage monitoring of electrically conductive products. The leak detector is designed for a wide range of applications. The conductivity, even of aggressive contents, from 1 μS/cm are recorded at process temperatures from -20 ° C to +60 ° C.
An additional module (diode module LBM) for line monitoring in the housing can be installed in the device. In the event of a line break between the leak probe and a suitable evaluation the evaluation may issue an alert.
Once the electrically conductive filling material forms a connection between the electrodes, a measurable current is flowing, which causes a reaction of the connected evaluation unit. By the use of an AC voltage the corrosion of the electrode and the electrolytic decomposition of the contents is avoided.
