The screw terminal electrical connection and LED indication facilitate straightforward installation, configuration, and status monitoring.
FAQ's of LEVELTEC S Capacitive Level Probe:
Q: How do I install the LEVELTEC S Capacitive Level Probe, and what mounting options are available?
A: The LEVELTEC S can be installed vertically using either a threaded or flanged mount, depending on your application requirements. Ensure the probe is correctly oriented and that the electrical connections are made via the accessible screw terminals. Both the probe length and mounting are customizable to fit various tank sizes and process conditions.
Q: What types of media can the LEVELTEC S measure, and what is the minimum dielectric constant required?
A: The LEVELTEC S is designed to measure both liquids and granular solids, provided the materials have a dielectric constant of 1.5 or higher. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of industrial applications, including water, chemicals, and food products.
Q: When should I choose the 4-20 mA output versus the relay output?
A: Select the 4-20 mA output if you require continuous analog level measurement for process automation or remote monitoring. The relay output is preferred if you need point-level control, such as for triggering alarms or pump controls at specific level thresholds.
Q: Where can this probe be used given its temperature and humidity specifications?
A: The LEVELTEC S operates within a temperature range of -20C to +70C and up to 95% non-condensing humidity. It is suitable for most indoor and sheltered outdoor industrial environments that meet these environmental parameters and where atmospheric pressure up to 6 bar is present.
Q: What benefits does the IP65 protection offer in industrial settings?
A: The IP65 enclosure rating protects the probe against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, ensuring reliability in challenging process environments with high humidity, dust, or mild washdown requirements.
Q: How is the probe customized for specific measurement ranges and applications?
A: Probe length can be specified anywhere from 200 mm to 3000 mm, and enclosure material (ABS or stainless steel), cable entry (PG9 or PG11), and mounting type (threaded or flanged) are all customizable, allowing integration into diverse tanks and processing systems.
Q: What makes the LEVELTEC S probe accurate and fast in measurement?
A: With a resolution of 1 mm and an accuracy of 2 mm, the probe provides precise level readings. Its response time of less than 1 second ensures timely monitoring and quick level detection, supporting process efficiency and timely control actions.
