SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating a comprehensive list of electrical symbols specifically for proximity sensors and level sensors used in silo applications. Participants suggest that a simple Google search may not yield satisfactory results and recommend checking manufacturer websites. A key resource mentioned is the ISO 1219-1 standard, which provides relevant symbols, with a specific link to the Norgren Graphic Symbol Library for further reference.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of ISO 1219-1 electrical symbol standards
  • Familiarity with proximity and level sensors
  • Knowledge of electrical schematics and diagrams
  • Experience navigating manufacturer documentation
NEXT STEPS
  • Research ISO 1219-1 for electrical symbol standards
  • Explore the Norgren Graphic Symbol Library for sensor symbols
  • Investigate additional manufacturers’ resources for sensor documentation
  • Learn about the differences between various types of proximity and level sensors
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, automation specialists, and anyone involved in designing or interpreting electrical schematics for sensor applications will benefit from this discussion.

Hi all, I have been looking the electrical symbols for a proximity sensor and a level sensor. A simple google search has not helped and I have also looked at various manufacturers websites, but still no joy. I was hoping somebody could point me in the right direction to a comprehensive list of sensor symbols. Thanks in advance.

Just to add... The sensors are part of a silo, so I am not looking for a water level sensor.

Do you have specific devices in mind? What are the part numbers? Are you looking for a switch or a sensor?
