Choosing a Location: (See Figure 2)
1) Material Flow - When selecting a location for the MK-2,
choose a point in the vessel where the probe will be out of
the direct flow of incoming and outgoing material to prevent
any mechanical damage that may be caused by the pres sure of the flow. The MK-2 must be positioned at a point
where incoming material will reach and cover the probe in its
normal flow, and when receding, will flow away from the
probe in an even manner. For best results, choose a posi tion where a majority of the probe, not just the tip, will be
covered. This is particularly important when detecting mate rials with low relative dielectric constants and low product
densities. The unit will not operate as a “tip sensitive”
device. For extended length models, allow for at least 8 to
12 inches (203-305 mm) of probe coverage. When sensing
highly conductive materials, or those with a high dielectric
constant, the MK-2 can perform as a “tip sensitive” sensor.
2) Vessel Contact - Select an area where the probe can not
contact any internal structure elements of the vessel. When
using the Cable Extension Probe, consider the angle of
repose of the material that will flow into and out of the ves sel. Insure that the expected swing of the cable will not
touch the vessel.
3) Driven Shield Penetration - Select a location which
ensures that the driven shield section protrudes into the ves sel and is not recessed in the mounting neck.
4) Multiple Probe Proximity - If more than one sensor is
mounted in the vessel, do not place the sensors closer than
18 inches (457 mm) from one another.
5) Pipe Extension Reinforcement - When top mounting a
probe with a pipe extension, select a location where it is fea sible to reinforce the extension to the vessel wall. See
Mechanical Installation portion of this bulletin for details.
6) Split Architecture Installation - When installing a sensor
with a remote probe, the restrictions above apply to the
remote probe. The remote electronics can be installed
either horizontally or vertically. The remote electronics must
be located within 12 feet (3.6 m) (wiring distance) of the
probe at a location that is free from excessive heat and/or
vibration.
Cover Removal: (See Figure 1)
Before loosening the cover, loosen or remove the cover lock
screw. Spanner slots are incorporated on the top of the cover
which should be used to loosen the cover from the housing.
Use a flat bar for initial loosening. DO NOT use a strap or chain
type wrench. Keep hands clear of threads on the cover and
housing to avoid contact with the thread lubricant.

1) Select a mounting location in accordance with the Pre-
Installation Recommendations.
2) If using a welded coupling, cut a hole into the side/top of the
vessel corresponding to the mounting connection (i.e. 1-1/2”
BSPT, 1-1/4” NPT or 3/4” NPT). If using a Monitor mount ing plate, cut a 2-1/2 inch (64 mm) center hole and six 11/32
inch (9 mm) mounting holes (for 5/16” bolts) on a 7 inch (178
mm) bolt circle. Use mounting plate gasket as a template.
3) Weld coupling or attach mounting plate to vessel wall.
4) Insert probe through coupling. Do not use sealant tapes (e.g.
Teflon tape) or putties. When using the 1-1/2” BSPT or
1-1/4” NPT connection, grease threads with anti-seize then
thread unit tightly into place by gripping and rotating hous ing. When using the 3/4” NPT connection, thread unit tight ly into place by gripping and rotating 15/16 inch (24 mm)
wrench flats provided on fitting. Continuity between sensor
mounting point and vessel wall must be maintained to
assure proper probe operation.

Lagged Housing Version Mounting: (See Figure 6)
1) Select a mounting location in accordance with the Pre-
Installation Recommendations.
2) Cut a hole into the side/top of the vessel corresponding to
the coupling used.
3) Weld coupling to the vessel wall.
4) Insert probe through coupling and thread unit tightly into
place by gripping and rotating the 15/16 inch (24 mm)
wrench flats provided on fitting closest to mounting point.
Do not use sealant tapes (e.g. Teflon tape) or putties. If flats
are inaccessible due to tank insulation, thread unit into place
by gripping and rotating lagging pipe with a strap/pipe
wrench. Continuity between sensor mounting point and vessel
wall must be maintained to assure proper probe operation.

Pipe Extension Probe Mounting: (See Figure 7)
1) Select a mounting location in accordance with the Pre-
Installation Recommendations.
2) If using a welded coupling, cut a hole into the top of the vessel
corresponding to O.D. of the 1-1/4” coupling used. If using a
Monitor mounting plate, cut a 2-1/2 inch (64 mm) center hole
and six 11/32 inch (9 mm) mounting holes (for 5/16” bolts)
on a 7 inch (178 mm) bolt circle. Use mounting plate
gasket as a template.
3) Weld coupling or attach mounting plate to vessel wall.
4) Insert probe through coupling, grease threads with anti-seize,
then, thread unit tightly into place by gripping and rotating
housing. Do not use sealant tapes (e.g. Teflon tape) or put-
ties. Continuity between sensor mounting point and vessel
wall must be maintained to assure proper probe operation.
5) Mechanical reinforcement of the pipe extension should be
considered whenever the overall probe length (from mount ing point to probe tip) exceeds 60 inches (1.5 m).
Mechanical clamping, such as “U” or “C” channel with “U”
bolts should be used. DO NOT USE HEAT to connect brace
to pipe extensions as wiring inside pipe could be damaged.
Adding Solid Probe Extension - Optional: (See Figure 7A)
If it is necessary to augment the length of the 16” (406mm)
standard sensing probe, probe extensions are available.
To attach the probe extension slip the coupling end of the
extension over the free end of the standard probe. Align the
through-holes in the coupling with the through-hole in the probe
and insert the supplied roll pin.

Remote Electronics Mounting
The split architecture configuration is used to protect the electronics from excessive heat or physical vibration.
1) Select a location that is within 12 feet (3.6m) wiring distance
of the remote probe but where the extreme temperatures or
vibration is not present.
2) The Remote Electronics for Ordinary Locations has no holes
cut in the fiberglass box. Drill holes in enclosure insuring cir cuit separation between the remote probe interconnection
and the mains/outputs. Remove electronics (4 backpanel
screws) prior to drilling holes.
3) The Remote Electronics for Hazardous Locations has three
conduit entrances, one of which is plugged at the factory.
This plug may be relocated as desired. All openings must
be suitably sealed to insure environmental and hazardous
location protections.
4) Drill a hole pattern in the structure to which the Remote
Electronics will be mounted (See Mechanicals for details).
5) Secure the enclosure to the structure using 1/4" (6mm) screws.

Hazardous Location Precautions:
Observe the regulations listed in the National Electrical Code
regarding equipment in hazardous locations. In particular,
install a conduit seal fitting within 2 inches (50 mm) of the RF
Capacitance sensor (for Class I rated products only), ensure
power is disconnected whenever the cover is removed, upon
completion ensure cover is completed re-attached and terminate IS ground screw to local intrinsically safe ground. Do not
substitute any electrical components as this may impair intrinsic safety and thereby compromise safety.
Factory Wiring:
The MK-2 probe wires are connected to the backside of the
PCB. DO NOT alter this connection. Doing so will likely
cause improper operation of the sensor.
Permanently Connected Equipment:
Disconnecting devices shall be included in the system installation.

TERMINAL
In installations where multiple circuits are used (i.e. independent circuits for power input and output relay), individual dis-
onnects are required. The disconnects shall be within close
c
proximity of the equipment, accessible to operators, and
marked appropriately as the disconnect for the associated
circuit. Assure the disconnect ratings are appropriately sized
for the circuit protected (see Specifications).
Circuit Separation:
wo cable entry locations are provided to aid in maintaining
T
separation of "hazardous live" (typically mains voltages such as
115VAC and 230VAC) and limited circuits (typically control
voltages less than 30Vrms or 42.4VDC). However, since the
MK-2's single wiring compartment can not absolutely protect
against physical contact between multiple circuits, it is required
that all wiring used must have an insulation rating of 300V minimum, and a temperature rating of 80˚ C (176˚ F) minimum.
Protective Earthing:
Each MK-2 is provided with a "protective conductor terminal"
which shall be terminated to the local earth ground potential to
eliminate shock hazard in the unlikely event of internal insulation breakdown. Select wire size that can carry in excess of the
sum of all circuit's maximum amperage.
Power Input:
The MK-2 is designed with a universal power supply that can
accept a wide range of AC and DC voltages (see Specifications
to insure compatibility). Select wire size that can deliver suitable voltage and current for the application. Connect power as
shown in Figure 8. The terminal block can be unplugged from
its socket for your convenience. When connecting a DC
source, observing polarity is not critical, but it is suggested to
follow diagram as a matter of good installation practice.
Split Architecture Interconnection (See Figure 9)
The interconnection of the remote probe and remote electron-
cs is limited in distance in order to maintain the sensing capa-
i
bility. Separation distances greater then the standard 12 feet
(3.6m) or use of an interconnection cable other than Monitor's
should not be attempted without the approval of Monitor's
Application Engineers.

Output Relay Contacts:
The MK-2 is equipped with two sets of isolated contacts (DPDT)
which indicates whether or not material is being detected within
the vessel. This output is also influenced by the selection of the
"fail-safe" switch as described in the "Calibration" section of this
manual. The designations on the circuit board relate to the contact status when the material is "not" sensed and the fail-safe
switch is in the "low" mode. These contacts can be connected to
any type of control device, provided that ratings are observed
(see Specifications). Select wire size that can deliver suitable
voltage and current for the application.
The calibration of the MK-2 is accomplished by the push-button
designated “CAL” (See Figure 10). This feature allows the unit
to ignore any initial capacitance caused by the vessel configu-
ation or material build-up on the probe and driven shield. This
r
procedure can be done at any time after installation in order to
accommodate for any changes in the configuration of the probe
or vessel, or extreme product build-up.
1) To initiate the calibration feature, ensure that the probe is
not submerged in the material.
2) Press and release the “CAL” button. The “CAL” LED will
flash for a short period and then remain illuminated when
complete denoting proper calibration.
Test Function:
The MK-2 features a unique test feature that is initiated by the
TST” push-button. This feature allows users to test the oper-
“
ation and installation of the unit by effectively placing a capacitance value, via the electronics, directly on the probe.
1) To activate the test feature, ensure the unit is calibrated
properly, indicated by the illuminated “CAL” LED, and that
the probe is not submerged in the material.
2) Press and hold the “TST” push-button. The unit will respond
by illuminating the “DET” LED when the sensing circuit of
the MK-2 unit is operating correctly. If push-button is held
long enough to time through the delay operation, the “OPR”
LED and output relay will activate as well. Failure of the
“DET” LED to illuminate indicates the MK-2 is out of calibra tion or that it is not sensing properly. Should this occur, con sult the troubleshooting section of this bulletin.
3) Releasing the “TST” push-button will remove the test
capacitance from the sensor and place the sensor into nor mal operating mode.
Delay:
This function provides a time delay from when the unit first
enters a detect mode, to when the relay output is activated. It
also acts in reverse, delaying the response from when the unit
enters a non-detect mode, to when the relay output is deactivated. Clockwise rotation of the single-turn adjustment will
increase time delay from .25 to 15 seconds. The unit must
enter the new sense state (either material sensed or material
not sensed), and remain in that mode for the selected time
delay period, before the mode becomes active at the relay output. If the sense state changes before the delay period
expires, the timing cycle will start over.
Figure 10
Sensitivity:
The sensitivity of the MK-2 relates to the amount of capacitance
(in excess of the calibration value) required to place the unit
into a detect mode. Materials with lower dielectric values will
require a lower numbered sensitivity setting for maximum sensing capability. Materials with higher dielectric values allow for
a higher numbered sensitivity setting, which provides for an
additional level of build-up immunity. That is, sensitivity #1 is
most sensitive, while sensitivity #4 is least sensitive. The sensitivity of the MK-2 is selected by pressing and releasing the
“SEN” push-button which causes the sensitivity level to
sequence to the next incremental setting. The current sensitivity setting is indicated by whichever sensitivity LED is illuminated, and correlates to the values shown in Figure 11.
Figure 11
6
Fail-safe: (See Figure 12)
The term fail-safe refers to the output signal condition which
occurs with a loss of power to the probe. A switch permits
selection of either low or high fail-safe.
1) High Fail-Safe - The relay will de-energize when material
is sensed at high level or with power loss.
2) Low Fail-Safe - The relay will de-energize when material
is below low level or with power loss.
NOTE: The designations on the electronics label refer to the
relay contact status when no material is sensed and low failsafe is selected (Relay is de-energized). The designations are
reversed when no material is sensed and high fail-safe is
selected (Relay is energized).
Figure 12
Indicators:
1) “CAL” green LED - Its status describes the “calibration”
condition of the MK-2. Illumination indicates that the sensor
has successfully been calibrated. Flashing indicates that a
calibration is in process.
2) “SEN” Red LED - Their status describes how “sensitive” the
MK-2 will be to the target material. The particular LED illu-
minated indicates which sensitivity selection has been
made.
3) “DET” yellow LED - Its status describes the “detection/
sensing” condition of the MK-2. Illumination indicates that
the amount of capacitance established by the “sensitivity
selection” has been detected. Its status is not affected by
the time delay setting.
4) “OPR” Red LED - Its status describes the “operate/output”
condition of the MK-2. Illumination indicates that the relay
output is in the “operate/material sensed” condition. Its state
is influenced by the time delay setting but not by the fail-safe
setting.
5) Material Presence "Y" Red LED - Its status matches the
indication of the "OPR" Red LED. That is, illumination indi cates that the relay output is in the "operate/material
sensed" condition. This LED can be viewed externally
through the lens in the top of the cover (ordinary location
units only). Illumination also indicates that power is present
at the MK-2.
6) Material Presence "N" Green LED - Its status is opposite
the indication of the Material Presence "Y" Red Led and the
"OPR" Red LED. That is, illumination indicates that the
relay output is in the "non-operate/no material sensed" con dition. This LED can be viewed externally through the lens
in the top of the cover (ordinary location units only). Illumi nation also indicates that power is present at the MK-2.
Initialization/Self-Verification Mode:
The microcontroller-based electronics will flash the Material
Presence "Y" Red and "N" Green LEDs in either of the following
situations:
1) Power-up initialization- Whenever power is first applied, the
MK-2 spends roughly two (2) seconds to settle into a normal
state. During this time, the LEDs will flash.
2) Self-Verification error- During normal operation, the MK-2
continually checks itself for proper processing. If an abnor mal condition is detected, the MK-2 will force the relay into
the state related to the "fail-safe" selection and will flash the
Material Presence LEDs.
Calibration Procedure:
1) Select the fail-safe setting appropriate for the application.
2) Set the time delay desired, from .25 to 15 seconds.
3) Select sensitivity 1, 2, 3 or 4. Figure 10 provides a guide for
initial setup. This may have to be re-selected depending
upon the actual application characteristics.
4) Ensure the probe is not submerged in the material.
5) Press and release the “CAL” button. The green “CAL” LED
will flash, then remain illuminated, indicating a successful
and complete calibration.
TRO UB L ESH OO TI NG
PROBLEM: Sensor does not detect material.
CAUSE/SOLUTION:
1) Verify that power is applied to the sensor. One of four
“SEN” indicators should always be lit.
2) Verify condition of “CAL” LED when material is not
present. If not lit, recalibrate the sensor.
3) Verify continuity between probe mount and vessel wall.
If poor continuity exists, connect a ground wire between
the housing and vessel wall.
4) Verify sensitivity setting. Move sensitivity selection to a
lower numbered setting, therefore making the probe
more sensitive to “difficult to sense” materials.
5) Verify probe coverage when sensing is expected. The
sensor is not designed to be “tip sensitive”. Permit sig nificant probe coverage before expecting material
sensing.
6) Verify connection of the electronic module to the probe.
7) Verify circuitry operation by using the TEST function, as
described in this manual. If improper operation per sists, consult factory.
PROBLEM: Sensor remains in “DET” mode even when
material is absent.
CAUSE/SOLUTION:
1) Verify the active probe is not in direct contact with any
internal vessel structure. If so, reposition sensor.
2) Verify sensitivity setting. Move sensitivity selection to a
higher numbered setting, therefore making the probe
less sensitive to “easy to sense” materials. Sensitivity
#4 is appropriate for highly conductive materials (i.e.
water based products).
3) Examine build-up on probe surface. Clean probe if
necessary.
4) Only as last resort, recalibrate sensor. If improper
operation persists, consult factory.
PROBLEM: Output contact perform opposite of
designations (N/O, N/C).
CAUSE/SOLUTION:
1) Designations on PCB relate to relay status when in
“Fail-safe Low” mode and when no material is sensed.
If “Fail-safe High” mode is used, the designations are
reversed. Swap the wire terminations of N/O and N/C if
necessary.
PROBLEM: Sensor does not respond to any switch
activation.
CAUSE/SOLUTION:
1) Press and release reset switch located on the right side
of the control panel. The switch can be accessed
through a small hole in the label and will re-boot inter nal software. Wait approximately 2 seconds for soft ware to reset. If improper operation persists, consult
factory.

MAI NT E N A NCE
Fuse Replacement:
he fuse incorporated into the MK-2 PCB is not intended for
T
operator replacement. If necessary, consult the factory for
additional technical assistance or for return of the MK-2.
Preventive Maintenance:
he MK-2 design is virtually maintenance free. In typical appli-
T
cations, once the sensor is properly calibrated, it will operate
without any further attention. In abrasive applications, probe
condition should be periodically observed. Although the
probe's construction is made with high quality engineering plastics, heavy abrasion can wear away the probe's insulators. This
can influence the calibration and eventually lead to sensor failure. The electronics are housed in a weatherproof enclosure.
In addition the PCBs are conformal coated with a siliconebased material to further prevent electrical influence by condensation. The sensor electronics should periodically be
observed for any signs of contamination caused by improper
enclosure protection (i.e. insure cover is fully engaged, and that
wire entries are properly sealed.)
Cleaning Requirements:
Environmental and hazardous location protection is highly
dependent on the proper installation of the cover to the housing. A lubricant is applied to the housing/cover threads to
enhance ability to twist-on twist-off cover. Clean and re-lubricate threads if necessary to insure trouble-free operation. Do
not physically alter threads in anyway otherwise environmental
or hazardous location protection could be compromised.
The driven shield feature of the MK-2 is designed to minimize
the need for cleaning the probe portion of the sensor. In applications where material build-up is so excessive that electronics
can not adequately compensate, probe cleaning may be necessary. If so, wipe the probe with a clean damp cloth from the
housing to the probe tip.
