Safety Warnings
Warning! This unit accepts DC voltage only, connection to AC voltage can cause failure
of the sensor and/or risk of electrocution
Warning! Do not remove this sensor from the process while it is operating. Removal while
the process is operating can contaminate the process and could cause human
injury.
Warning! Do not subject this sensor to pressure that exceeds the specied upper range
limit. Over-pressure may cause premature failure, incorrect output signal, or
possible human injury.
Warning! Before removing for service or calibration, ensure that residual product has
been ushed from the line and that internal pressure has returned to atmo
spheric pressure.

Section 1 - Application and Intended Use
1.1 - Application
The LS point level switch is a capacitance-based sensor designed to detect the presence or absence of liquid at the
sensor tip. The on/off output can be used to provide an alarm, warning signal, or control signal to a pump or valve.
1.2 - Intended Use
The LS sensor is only to be used for the application that it has been designed, dimensioned and built for. The
electrical connection must be to a direct current network (see the nameplate).
The intended purpose of the LS is the detection of process or cleaning uids in the food processing, beverage,
pharmaceutical and chemical industries. This sensor is not suitable for the measurement of hazardous, explosive,
and combustible liquids of the PED group.
Any modications to the sensor that might have an inuence on the function and the safety features of the sensor
are only allowed to be carried out by authorized persons of Anderson Instrument Company. Possible misuse
including any use in contradiction to the above-mentioned application is an indication of misuse of the measuring
instrument!
In such a case Anderson does not assume any responsibility for safety.

Section 4 - Installation and Sensitivity Adjustment
Warning! Do not subject this sensor to pressure that exceeds the specied upper range limit. Over-pressure
may cause premature failure, incorrect output signal, or possible human injury.
Caution: For proper mounting of this sensor, verify that the tting connection type, size, gasket or seal, and
holding ring or clamp match the process connection it is being mounted to. Improper mounting can cause
process leakage, reduced pressure ratings, and/or contamination issues.
Caution: Do not open the sensor enclosure in wet or spray-down environments. Moisture ingression can cause
premature electronics failure.
Caution: Handle with care during installation to avoid damage to the sensor. Physical damage, especially to the
sensing surface or probe can cause incorrect output signal or premature failure.
Caution: Do not expose the sensor to process or ambient temperatures that exceed the rated specications.
Physical damage, incorrect output signal, or premature failure may result.
Select Switch Action:
- Switch action is determined by power supply polarity. If eld wireable connector is
used see instruction 4 in section 1 for wiring instructions. If assembly cable is purchased connect Red conductor
to PWR+ (18-36V) and Green conductor to PWR- for full (immersed) indication. Reverse these for empty (not
immersed) indication.
Rotory Switch Output Test & Threshold Adjustment:
1. For installation testing sensor may be set for continuous output:
Position 0 - output off
Position 1 - output on
2. Positions 2-9 act as a sensitivity adjustment, position selects a minimum dielectric recognized. Reducing
dielectric threshold can help eliminate false readings.
Position 2 - ≥ Dielectric 20 Position 6 - ≥ Dielectric 40
Position 3 - ≥ Dielectric 25 Position 7 - ≥ Dielectric 50
Position 4 - ≥ Dielectric 30 Position 8 - ≥ Dielectric 60
Position 5 - ≥ Dielectric 35 Position 9 - ≥ Dielectric 70

Section 5 - Maintenance
Warning! Do not remove this sensor from the process while it is operating. Removal while the process
is operating can contaminate the process and could cause human injury.
Warning!
from the line and that internal pressure has returned to atmospheric pressure.
Caution: Attempting to disconnect or change wiring to this sensor during process operation can cause
loss of signal to the control system!
Caution: Improper changes to sensitivity setting following installation and commissioning can result in
false output signal.
Caution: Improper replacement of components during service can result in process leakage, reduced
pressure rating, system cleanability issues, or incorrect output signal.
The LS is designed to provide years of trouble-free service, but should be checked annually by removing
from the process for a visual inspection and operational verication. The PEEK probe tip should be free from
cracks or deep scratches.
To check for proper operation, rst determine the status of the switch with the probe in air (no product
touching the tip). Depending on wiring, the status light may be on or off. Now immerse the probe tip in the
target uid and watch for a change in the status light. It should go from on to off, or from off to on. If there
is no damage and the unit is functioning as expected, the unit can be re-installed in the process. If it is
damaged or not functioning properly, we suggest replacing it and return the unit to the factory for repair or
replacement.
Caution: Verify that the sensor is operating properly after service, and prior to start-up of control system.
When power is rst applied, immerse sensor tip in target liquid and observe status change on indicator
light.
Before removing for service or calibration, ensure that residual product has been ushed
External cleaning instructions: The external surfaces of this sensor can be cleaned along with the equipment
or piping system that it is installed on, using cleaning and disinfecting solutions designed for use on hygienic
equipment.
