The OLS2 series is a liquid-level sensor for single-point liquid-level detection. The sensor has an infrared emitter and detector aligned within an accurately shaped cone to give good optical coupling when the sensor is in the air. This coupling is greatly reduced when the sensor is immersed in liquid, as the infrared light escapes through the liquid rather than being reflected back to the detector.
The sensor has a transistor output, so can be configured by the user for particular applications. Output is via TTL-compatible push-pull output.
Features
- Low-cost sensors for general liquid sensing
- High-reliability optical sensing
- External mount via M12x1 thread
- Standard temperature range -25ºC to +80ºC Extended temperature range -40ºC to +125ºC
- High and Low output versions
- Resistant to false triggering caused by foaming
Applications
- Professional kitchen equipment
- Industrial dishwasher
- Food and beverage
- Water storage tanks
- Oil and gas

The CSSV15000 Series Current Sensors are based on Honeywell’s advanced multisensing scheme, a single power supply, and an integral CAN bus output. They are calibrated and temperature compensated using multipoint temperature characterization. This Honeywell’s patented digital compensation technology enables a high degree of accuracy throughout the sensing range up to ±1500A. The CSSV1500 Series is designed to meet Automotive Safety Integrity Level C (ASIL C) requirements for safety-critical applications. These sensors have two independent sensing and data processing circuits for current sensing. The two processed data are checked for confidence. If they are within the set threshold range, the current data is outputted. If the threshold is exceeded, an alarm message is sent.
Features
- Higher accuracy, lower temperature drift
- Enhanced EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) performance
- Designed to meet Automotive Safety Integrity Level C (ASIL C) for the functional safety of road vehicle applications
- Reliable and stable CAN bus output
- Easy installation and software interface provides system integration convenience
- CE certification; REACH and RoHS compliant
Applications
- Current measurement for battery management systems in electrified vehicles (EV, HEV, PHEV, BEV)
- Current leakage detection and fault isolation in charging systems
- Current measurement in energy storage systems
- Fault detection in heavy industrial equipment

The CO-04-SF and CO-10-SF magnetic field concentrators are designed for nonintrusive and isolated measurements of electric currents. Thanks to the Clamp-On design, the contactless current sensor can be safely installed without interrupting or cutting the cable. Comprised of a soft ferromagnetic shield featuring superior material characteristics such as high linearity and very low hysteresis.
Applications include DC and AC current sensing up to 30 kHz, motor control, battery monitoring, charge control, white goods, and many more. These concentrators were designed to work with and should be paired with a Melexis IMC-Hall® planar magnetic field sensor to create an open loop current measurement system able to measure currents up to ±200 A.
Thanks to its hollow bottom design, the concentrator enables the direct housing of a planar current sensor and its capacitors underneath, thus allowing for a compact and space-saving solution. The concentrator can be directly soldered to the PCB thanks to its four through-hole pins, granting a robust and secure hold.
Features & Advantages

CTS’ RF Sensor is a fully integrated diesel particulate filter sensor and control unit, capable of directly measuring soot and ash levels in the particulate filter and controlling after-treatment system operation based on filter measurements.
The diesel particulate filter sensor uses low-power radio frequencies (RF) to transmit and receive RF signals through the filter. Soot and ash accumulation levels, and filter failure symptoms, can be directly measured by the change in response of the RF signal. The sensor provides additional flexibility to engine and after-treatment system designers when attempting to meet increasingly stringent emissions regulations and fuel efficiency standards.
Applications
The system is uniquely designed for on-vehicle sensing and control with a wide range of applications including passenger cars, trucks, buses, rail, marine, off-road equipment, and power generation. Originally developed for diesel particulate filter (DPF) applications, the system is equally applicable for gasoline particulate filter (GPF) applications.
System Benefits
Real-time measurements and feedback control based on filter soot and ash levels enable the following benefits for OEM and retrofit applications:
- Reduced engine fuel consumption through optimized regeneration intervals and duration
- Advanced filter diagnostics with powerful particulate filter measurement capabilities on the vehicle
- Decreased warranty claims via more precise feedback control of particulate filter operation
- Lower maintenance costs by measuring ash directly, cleaning the particulate filter only when needed
- Extend component life by minimizing high-temperature regenerations
- Reduce system costs by utilizing smaller or less expensive filters via improved sensing
- Faster development times by decreasing the resources needed for particulate filter calibration
Specific benefits and system advantages depend upon a number of factors, including baseline application and after-treatment architecture and control strategy.
