2 SAFETY INFORMATION
2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The CFP Cubic is a level sensor based on a capacitive measurement principle. The level
is determined and the limit values are assessed by evaluating the capacitive elds.
The sensor is designed for both continuous level measurement and discontinuous level
measurement in nearly all liquids. Depending on the variant, temperature values can
also be processed continuously or as limit values.
The sensor fullls the requirements of EN 61326-2-3 for industrial environments.
2.2 Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specications and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
If the sensor is to be used under other conditions or in different environments, the
manufacturer’s service department may issue an operating license in consultation with
the customer and in exceptional cases.
2.3 Limitation of liability
Applicable standards and regulations, the latest technological developments, and
our many years of knowledge and experience have all been taken into account when
assembling the data and information contained in these operating instructions. The
manufacturer accepts no liability for damage caused by:
• Failing to observe the operating instructions
• Improper use
• Use by untrained personnel
• Unauthorized conversions
• Technical modications
• Use of unauthorized spare parts, consumables, and accessories
With special variants, where optional extras have been ordered, or owing to the latest
technical changes, the actual scope of delivery may vary from the features and illustra-
tions shown here.
2.4 Modications and conversions
IMPORTANT
Modications and conversions to the sensor and/or the installation may result in
unforeseeable dangers.
Interfering with or modifying the sensor or SICK software will invalidate any warranty
claims against SICK AG. This applies in particular to opening the housing, even as part
of mounting and electrical installation work.
Before making technical modications to or expanding the sensor, the prior written
approval of the manufacturer must be obtained.

3.2.2 Operating buttons
The sensor is operated using the display and the operating buttons.
For a detailed description of the pushbuttons and their functions, see “8.1 Display and
pushbuttons”.
3.3 Product features and functions
3.3.1 Principle of operation
The CFP Cubic works according to the capacitive measurement principle. This means
that electrodes are integrated in the probe to span and measure a capacitive eld. The
medium touching the probe inuences the measured capacitance. Linear to the level,
this change in capacitance is then evaluated in the sensor and output as a corresponding level.
The sensor can output this level as a continuous measured value (analog output)
and can also derive two or four freely positionable switching points from it (switching
outputs). IO-Link communication is also available for the switching output Q1,
see “8.1.3 IO-Link”.
3.3.2 Fields of application
The MCiM technology developed by SICK enables convenient and reliable level measurement irrespective of the container material.
The CFP Cubic is suitable for both continuous level measurement and discontinuous
level measurement in nearly all liquids. Furthermore, temperature values can also be
processed continuously or as a limit value depending on the variant.

IMPORTANT
Damage to the sensor due to improper transport.
• The device must be packaged for transport with protection against shock and damp.
• Recommendation: Use the original packaging as it provides the best protection.
• Transport should be performed by specialist staff only.
• The utmost care and attention is required at all times during unloading and transpor-
tation on company premises.
• Note the symbols on the packaging.
• Do not remove packaging until immediately before starting installation work.
4.2 Transport inspection
Immediately upon receipt in Goods-in, check the delivery for completeness and for any
damage that may have occurred in transit. In the case of transit damage that is visible
externally, proceed as follows:
4TRANSPORT AND STORAGE
4.3 Storage
• Do not accept the delivery or only do so conditionally.
• Note the scope of damage on the transport documents or on the transport company's delivery note.

claims are only valid before the applicable complaint deadlines.
Store the device under the following conditions:
• Recommendation: Use the original packaging.
• Do not store outdoors.
• Store in a dry area that is protected from dust.
• Do not store in an airtight container: this is so that any residual moisture present
can escape.
• Do not expose to any aggressive substances.
• Protect from sunlight.
• Avoid mechanical shocks.
Subject to change without notice
• Storage temperature: see “14 Technical data”.
• Relative humidity: see “14 Technical data”.

5 MOUNTING
5 Mounting
5.1 Installation conditions
The CFP Cubic level sensor is mounted vertically from above into the container.
The sensor features a G 3/4 A, 3/4" NPT threaded connection or Easy Clamp bracket
(clamping bracket for innite adjustment of the required length).
A minimum connecting piece diameter in accordance with the following graphic must
be observed. The CFP Cubic is to be installed in such a way that, after it has been
mounted, there is a sufcient distance between it and other tank components (e.g.,
supply pipes, other measuring devices) as well as the sides and bottom of the con-
tainer.
These minimum distances are also specied in the following graphic. Observe a minimum distance of 30 mm to the container sides and to the tank components.
When operating the sensor, ensure that the ambient temperature is not above or below
the limits. Insulating the sensor housing is not permitted for tanks with hot media.
When positioning the device, ensure that the sensor is not directly exposed to the lling
ow and that at least 10 mm of the probe is covered by the medium to be measured on
all sides.
The sensor housing can be rotated 360°, allowing for the cable outlet to be positioned
freely. If the process temperature drops below 0 °C during operation, the probe must
not be subjected to transverse loads.

6 Electrical installation
6.1 Safety
6.1.1 Notes on the electrical installation
IMPORTANT
Equipment damage due to incorrect supply voltage!
An incorrect supply voltage may result in damage to the equipment.
• Only operate the device using a protected low voltage and safe electrical insulation
as per protection class III.
IMPORTANT
Equipment damage or unpredictable operation due to working with live parts.
Working with live parts may result in unpredictable operation.
• Only carry out wiring work when the power is off.
• Only connect and disconnect electrical connections when the power is off.
6ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
• The electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualied person-
nel.
• Standard safety requirements must be met when working on electrical systems.
• Only switch on the supply voltage for the device when the connection tasks have
been completed and the wiring has been thoroughly checked.
• When using extension cables with open ends, ensure that bare wire ends do not
come into contact with each other (risk of short-circuit when supply voltage is
switched on!). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
• Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user’s power system must be
designed in accordance with the applicable standards. In Germany, observe the
following standards:
DIN VDE 0100 (Part 430) and DIN VDE 0298 (Part 4) or DIN VDE 0891 (Part 1).
• Circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV circuits
(SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage).
• Protect the device with a separate fuse at the start of the supply circuit.
Notes on layout of data cables:
• To avoid interference, e.g., from switching power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors, always use suitable EMC cables and layouts.
• Do not lay cables over long distances in parallel with voltage supply cables and
motor cables in cable channels.
Subject to change without notice
The IP 67 enclosure rating for the device is only achieved under the following conditions:
• The cable on the M12 connection has been screwed on.
If this is not done, the device does not fulll any specied IP enclosure rating!

6.2 Electrical connection
6.2.1 Overview of the electrical connections
The sensor is connected using a pre-assembled female cable connector with 1 x M12
plug connector (5-pin or 8-pin). With the power switched off, plug the female cable connector into the sensor and screw it tight.
Connect the cable according to its function. After the supply voltage has been applied,
the sensor carries out a self-test. Once installed, the sensor is ready for operation on
completion of the self-test (< 5 s) and the display shows the current measured value.
