Danfoss AKS 4100U guided-wave (Time Domain Reflectometry) liquid level sensor, code 084H4571, cable version. Continuous refrigerant liquid-level measurement in receivers, standpipes, intermediate coolers, oil pots and pressure vessels. 5 m (197 in) stainless-steel cable probe with counterweight, field-cut to any length from 800 mm (31.5 in) to 5000 mm (197 in). Process connection 3/4 in NPT. With integrated HMI display unit, language set English (default) / Japanese / Chinese / Russian. 2-wire loop-powered 4–20 mA output proportional to liquid level; unaffected by foam, vapour, boiling surface, density change or dielectric-constant change. Max. working pressure -1 to 100 bar (-14.5 to 1450 psig); medium temperature -60 °C to +100 °C; ambient -40 °C to +80 °C; enclosure IP66/67 (NEMA 4X housing / 6P probe). The cable version is for R717 (ammonia), HCFC and HFC with liquid dielectric constant εr > 5.6 and must be installed in a standpipe. Wetted parts stainless steel 1.4404/316L and 1.4401/316; EPDM gaskets. EAN 5702428869713. OEM P/N 084H4571.

Loop-powered transmitter — pair with a compatible 14–30 V DC controller/indicator (e.g. Danfoss EKC 347 liquid-level controller) ordered separately. Cable version must be installed in a standpipe; confirm required length, process connection and refrigerant before ordering. Each AKS 4100/4100U must be programmed via an HMI display unit at commissioning.
