The Model CLS1 Capacitance Level Switch provides reliable point level
measurement of solids, liquids and slurries in metallic or non-metallic tanks and
vessels. It detects the presence or absence of material in contact with the probe by
sensing a change in the capacitance.
BENEFITS/FEATURES
• Electronics provide highly sensitive measurement detection (requires less than a 1
picofarad shift from ambient)
• State of the art technology ignores material build-up on the vessel sidewall or along
the probe assembly
• One time calibration is simple with a single multi-turn potentiometer
• Red LED on housing indicates sensor status
• Adjustable 1-30 second time delay and a 5 A, SPDT fail-safe relay output
• Addedinstallationexibilitywithverticallyorhorizontallymounting
APPLICATIONS
• High or low level detection
• Bins
• Silos
• Tanks
• Hoppers
• Chutes
