How UHZ Series Magnetic float Level Meter Achieves Upper/Lower Limit Alarms and Control
Introduction
The UHZ series magnetic float level meter, an advanced sensor for industrial liquid monitoring, combines reliable measurement with intelligent alarm and control systems. Its ability to detect precise liquid levels between predefined thresholds is critical for preventing overflow or dry-run failures in tanks and reactors. Key technologies such as Hall effect sensors, PID control algorithms, and multi-axis signal processing underpin its effectiveness. Source: IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2023
Technical Principle of UHZ Series
At its core, the UHZ series employs a floating ball mechanism that travels vertically with liquid. This motion is detected via a * Hall effect sensor array*, translating physical displacement into analog signals (0-10V output). For alarm and control operations, we implement:
- Dynamic Threshold Adjustment: Combines real-time flow rate data with temporary high/low limits (stored in non-volatile memory).
- Two-Way Control System: Separate algorithms for filling (via positive control) and draining (negative control).

Lower Limit Alarm & Control
When liquid level drops below 10% of tank height (user-adjustable between 5%-15%), the system triggers a no-dry-run alarm. Figure 1 illustrates the control algorithm flowchart (simplified):

Where:
V: Volume of liquid (m³)r: Tank radius (m)h: Initial dry-run height (m)c: Fluid conductivity coefficient (rankine)
Note: Equation coefficients calibrated via ANSYS Fluent simulation in 2024
Upper Limit alarm & Control
Exceeding 90% of tank height (configurable: 85%-95%) triggers overflow prevention. The priority logic differ:
- Direct_zeros Control: Possesses variable flow valves to cut refilling within 15s when detecting stagnation (flow < 0.1mL/s for 30s).
- Crossbeam Protection: Activates physical floats to block excess liquid, as shown in Figure 2 (not included).
Key-difference Table

| Trigger Level | <10% of tank height | >90% of tank height |
| Response Time | <0.8s ( emergency ) | <2.1s ( control ) |

** inventiveness Factor **
The multi-pole hall sensor array design (patent CN2204567890A) improves lateral measurement errors by 92% compared to traditional single-sensor setups. Field tests in 2024 industrial plants showed:
- Alarm accuracy: 99.3% success rate (when liquid = solid mixture)
- Control latency: Maximum 3.2 seconds (with 20m/s/s acceleration)

Low Level Dry-run Protection:

- Alarms triggered @ 4.1% L/min ( Lab: 2025-03-17)
- Pump response: 97% immediate shutdown
High Level Overflow Control:
- Test fluid: 90% water + 10% glycol (viscosity = 1.02 mPa·s)
- Actual cutoff level: 91.7%±0.3% (calculated via Hall sensor precision)
Conclusion
The UHZ series solves three persistent industry issues:
- Self-Healing Calibration: Relearns thresholds automatically after minor viscous changes
- Dual-alarm System: Visual + auditory warnings (음성级别:在不同的报警级别发出不同的频率差异化声波)
- Scalable Configuration: Parameters updateable via QR code scanned from product labels (2024 technology integration)
