Pointek Cls200/300 Standard - Siemens Pointek CLS200 Operating Instructions Manual

Pointek CLS200/300 Standard

Note
• 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
7ML19985JJ02.
• 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 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
earth/ground for effective capacitance measurement.
