Which of the following level indicating system sensor types is ideally suited for discrete-level detection as opposed to continuous-level detection?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Difference between discrete-level (point level) and continuous-level measurement • Typical use and behavior of float devices in tanks • How transmitters/probes provide a continuous signal over a range

💭 Think About

• Which option(s) can tell you the exact level at many points in the tank, not just when the level hits a specific point? • Which device is commonly used as an on/off control (e.g., pump start/stop or high-level alarm) rather than a full level gauge? • Think about which devices output a variable signal (changing smoothly with level) versus a simple contact closure (open/closed).

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which devices are designed for point-level alarms (e.g., high level, low level) rather than detailed level indication. • Eliminate any option that is known to provide a continuous analog signal over the entire level range (e.g., 4–20 mA, variable resistance, or capacitance). • Focus on the choice that behaves more like a switch than a measuring instrument.
