Pointek CLS200/300 Standard

CLS200 Standard model
CLS300 Standard model
Notes:
• Pointek CLS200/300 is available in two models: the standard model, and the digital model with integral local display. For information on the CLS200/300 Digital, please see manual 7ML19985JJ01.
• Pointek CLS200/300 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this instruction manual, otherwise protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
• This product is intended for use in industrial areas. Operation of this equipment in a residential area may cause interference to several frequency based communications.
Pointek CLS200/300 is a versatile capacitance switch, ideal for level detection of interfaces, solids, liquids, slurries, and foam, and for simple pump control. The switch responds to the presence of any material with a relative dielectric constant of 1.5 or more by detecting a change in capacitance, which is registered as a change in oscillating
Pointek CLS200/300
frequency.
The switch can be set to detect before contact or on contact with the probe. The design of the CLS200 standard allows the instrument to operate independently of the tank wall or pipe, so it does not require an external reference electrode for level detection in a non­conductive vessel such as concrete or plastic. The CLS300 standard requires a connection to earth/ground for effective capacitance measurement.
The power supply is galvanically isolated and can accept voltages in the range 12 to 250 V AC/DC, depending on the application. The materials used in the probe construction provide a high level of chemical resistance, and an excellent temperature rating on the process wetted portion of the probe: up to 125 °C (257 °F) for the CLS200 and 400 °C (752 °F) for the CLS300.
Page 4 Pointek CLS200/300 Standard – INSTRUCTION MANUAL 7ML19985JH01
Modular design and construction provide a wide choice of configurations, including rod, cable, and sanitary versions. When used with a SensGuard protection cover, the CLS200 sensor is protected from shearing, impact, and abrasion, in tough primary processes.

Pointek CLS200/300 Applications

Pointek CLS200/300 is designed for level detection and simple pump control in a variety of applications:
Liquids, solids (powder and granules), slurries, interface detection (for example, oil/ water), and foam detection
Foods and pharmaceuticals
Chemical and petrochemical
High pressure and temperature

Pointek CLS200/300 Features

Potted construction protects components from shock, vibration, humidity, and/or condensation
High chemical resistance on probes
Level detection independent of tank wall/pipe (CLS200 only)
Freely programmable set up covers wide range of applications/materials
Integrated Local User Interface (LUI) for ease of use
Rigid and cable versions available
Operation in safety related systems for overspill in accordance with IEC61508/61511 SIL2
Patented Active Shield minimizes the effect of product build-up at the sensor mounting point (CLS300 only)

Pointek CLS300 cable version:
The cable version is designed for top mounting. The cable suspends vertically so that it reaches into the process at the desired detection level (high or low detection alarm).

Mounting Restrictions

Note:
• Keep the sensor at least 50 mm (2") away from any nozzle or tank wall.
• If multiple units are used, allow at least 500 mm (20") between them, to prevent interference.
