Pointek CLS300 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance level switch with optional rod/cable choices and configurable output. It is ideal for detecting liquids, solids, slurries, foam and interfaces in demanding conditions where high pressure and temperatures are present. The digital version (with PROFIBUS PA) includes a display and provides additional diagnostic features.

The Pointek CLS300 is offered in standard and digital versions.

The standard version has 3 LED indicators with basic relay or solid-state switch alarms.

The digital version provides an integral LCD display for standalone use, with PROFIBUS PA communication (Profile version 3.0, Class B) when required. Solid-state switch alarm is standard.

The robust design of CLS300 makes it specifically applicable for heavy solids applications where abrasive materials occur as in the mining industry.

The fully potted electronics are unaffected by condensation, dust or vibration.

Wetted parts are made of stainless steel or stainless steel with a PFA shield for high chemical resistance. Ceramic inserts are supplied with high temperature CLS300 devices. Materials with low or high dielectric constants can be accurately detected. The unique Active Shield suppresses interference from material buildup.

The unique modular design of the Pointek CLS300 provides a wide range of configurations, process connections, extensions and approvals to meet the temperature and pressure requirements of specific applications. The modular design makes ordering easier and reduces stocking requirements. A wide range of probe configurations are available, including rod and cable versions.

Key Applications: liquids, slurries, bulk solids, relatively high pressure and temperature, hazardous areas, milling and mining applications.

Pointek CLS200 is a versatile inverse frequency shift capacitance level switch with optional rod/cable choices and configurable output, ideal for detection of liquids, solids, slurries, foam and interfaces. The digital version (with PROFIBUS PA) includes a display and provides additional diagnostic features.

The Pointek CLS200 is offered in standard and digital versions.

The standard version has 3 LED indicators with basic relay and solid-state switch alarms.

The digital version provides an integral LCD display for standalone use, and also provides PROFIBUS PA communication (Profile version 3.0, Class B) for connection to a network.

The power supply is galvanically isolated and accepts a wide range of voltages (12 to 250 V AC/DC for standard version and 12 to 30 V DC for digital version). The stainless steel and PPS (PVDF optional) materials used in the probe construction provide a temperature rating up to +125 °C (+257 °F) on the process wetted portion of the probe. The switch responds to any material with a dielectric constant of 1.5 or more by detecting a change in oscillating frequency, and it can be set to detect before contact or on contact with the probe.The CLS200 operates independently of the tank wall or pipe so it does not require an external reference electrode for level detection in a non-conductive vessel such as concrete or plastic.

Key Applications: liquids, slurries, powders, granules, pressurized applications, hazardous areas.

Detail

Range	Rod: 5.5m (18 ft)   Cable: up to 30m (98 ft)
Process Temperature	-40 to 125 °C (-40 to 257 °F)
Process Pressure	Rod: up to 25 bar g (365 psi g)   Cable: up to 10 bar g (145 psi g)

Benefits

• Potted construction protects signal circuit from shock, vibration, humidity and/or condensation
• High chemical resistance
• Level detection independent of tank or pipe earth reference
• Insensitive to product buildup due to high frequency oscillation
• High sensitivity allows installation in a wide range of liquids, solids or slurry applications
• Integral LCD display allows for easy setup of CLS200 when you can configure switching threshold, even under the most demanding process conditions (digital version only)
• Extended rod, cable and sanitary versions available
• Standard version: 3 LED indicators for adjustment control, output status and power
• Digital version: integral LCD display, and PROFIBUS PA communication

SITRANS LPS200 is a rotary paddle switch for point level detection in bulk solids.

The paddle switch technology detects full, empty or demand conditions on materials such as grain, feed, cement, plastic granulate and wood chips. The paddle switch can handle bulk densities as low as  15.06 g/l (0.94 lb/ft³)  with the optional hinged vane or 100 g/l (6.25 lb/ft³) with the standard measuring vane.

A low revolution geared motor with slip clutch drives a rotating measuring vane which senses the presence of material at the mounted level of the LPS200. As material comes into contact with the rotating paddle, rotation stops, which changes the microswitch state. When the paddle is no longer covered by material, rotation resumes and the relay reverts to its normal condition.

The LPS200 has a rugged design for use in harsh conditions in the solids industry. The sensitivity of the paddle can be adjusted for varying material properties like buildup on the vane.

The LPS200 comes in a variety of configurations including compact, extended and cable extension. It is equipped with a standard vane which is effective in most applications, but can be configured with a hinged or rectangular vane for increased sensitivity for light materials.

Key Applications: bulk solids such as grain, feed, cement, plastic granulate, wood chips
