The IFM LMT105 is an electronic point-level sensor designed for hygienic and industrial level monitoring. It uses capacitive sensing and is factory configured for hydrous media. The sensor has a G1/2 sealing-cone process connection and a 253 mm probe length. Two digital outputs provide flexible level-control functions. Its stainless-steel construction and high-temperature capability make it suitable for demanding process applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The LMT105 detects the presence of liquid or suitable viscous media at a defined point. Its capacitive principle avoids moving mechanical parts. Factory configuration for hydrous media simplifies installation. The sensor can be used for tank-level monitoring and pump protection. This provides reliable point-level switching in process equipment.
The LMT105 is intended for liquids, viscous media, and selected powder applications. Recommended media include water, hydrous media, oils, oil-based media, and powder. The sensor is designed to suppress the influence of deposits and process conditions. This supports stable level detection in industrial environments. Its long probe provides flexible installation depth.
The LMT105 supports medium temperatures up to 100 °C continuously under the specified conditions. Short-term medium temperatures up to 150 °C for one hour are supported. Its wetted materials include stainless steel 316L, PEEK, and FPM. IP68/IP69K protection supports hygienic cleaning conditions. This makes the sensor suitable for demanding process installations.

The LMT105 is designed for installations where cleanliness and reliable level detection are important. The electronic capacitive principle eliminates mechanical floats. Its factory setting simplifies use with hydrous media. High IP protection supports cleaning-intensive environments. This makes the sensor suitable for hygienic process equipment.
The sensor can operate with medium temperatures up to 100 °C. Short-term exposure to 150 °C for one hour is specified. Stainless-steel and PEEK wetted materials support the process-side construction. The sensor is therefore suitable for demanding fluid processes. This provides flexibility for industrial and hygienic applications.
