Capacitance type Level Indicator

Capacitance type Level Indicators / Switch / Transmitters are suitably used for monitoring and
controlling of liquid levels in tanks or vessels. No moving parts ensure no wear and tear. These level
Indicators / Switches are suitable for a wide variety of applications having a fixed dielectric constant

Features:

• Microprocessor based Control Unit circuit

• Software Calibration (by 4 nos. push button
switches, inside top cover) of
9 Range - Digital Indication of level in mm, ft,
Mtrs, % etc
9 Decimal Point Setting
9 Alarm Lo & Hi Set Points
9 Alarm Directions – Lo or Hi
9 Time Delay – 0 – 10 seconds to tackle
turbulence
9 4 - 20 mA o/p, into a max load of 600 Ω
9 RS 232C Compatible output proportional to
level
• Up to 4 independent set points in single unit
• Set points adjustable throughout the range
(without altering liquid level)
• HART output (Integral Transmitter Model)
• Wide range of Probe design to suit a wide variety
of applications
• Available in integral / non integral models
• Wide separation distance of 500 meters between
Probe and Control Units

Applications:

Water
Acids
Alkalis
Oils
Chemicals

Principle of Operation:
As media rises and falls in the vessel, the amount of capacitance developed between the
sensing probe and the ground (vessel wall or reference probe in case of non-metallic vessels)
also rises and falls. This change of capacitance is converted into a current signal by the preamplifier.
The pre- amplifier output is connected to the Control Unit. The Amplifier, in the Control Unit converts
the pre amplifier signal into a proportional voltage, which is amplified and fed to the Microcontroller
Circuitry, which in turn drives the indication circuit LED, relay circuit and the transmitter circuit.
