ABOUT POINTEK CLS 200

Pointek CLS 200 is to be used only in the manner

outlined in this instruction manual.

The Pointek CLS 200 capacitance level switch provides output on high or low process material
levels. When the measured material approaches or contacts the switch’s probe, an increase in
capacitance is sensed and a high level alarm can be triggered. If a low level alarm is required
then the lack of material contact is sensed and this condition triggers the low level alarm.

Pointek CLS 200 Outputs

✓ One form ‘C’ (SPDT) relay
✓ One open isolated, non-polarized, solid-state switch

INSTALLATION

LOCATION

Installation shall only be performed by qualified personnel

and in accordance with local governing regulations.

This product is susceptible to electrostatic shock.

Follow proper grounding procedures.

The Pointek CLS 200 standard probe length is normally mounted into the vessel top (high
detection alarm) or through the tank wall at the detection level (high or low detection alarm).

The extended versions are designed for top mounting. The probe suspends vertically so that it
reaches into the process at the desired detection level (high or low detection alarm).
