Level Measurement
Point level measurement — Capacitance switches
Pointek CLS500
■
Overview
4
Pointek CLS500 is an inverse frequency shift capacitance level
switch for detecting interfaces, solids, liquids, toxic, and
aggressive chemicals in critical conditions of high temperature
and pressure.
■
Benefits
• Patented Active-Shield technology so measurement is
unaffected by material buildup in active shield section
• 2-wire loop powered with solid-state switch or 4 to 20/20 to
4 mA output
• Simple push-button calibration and integrated local display
• Full function diagnostics
• HART communications for remote commissioning and
inspection
■
Application
Patented Active-Shield technology ensures that measurement is
unaffected by vapors, product deposits, dust and condensation.
The unique mechanical probe design coupled with a high
performance transmitter gives superior performance in a wide
range of level detection applications.
Pointek CLS500's microprocessor-based electronics provide
one-point calibration, making setup possible without shutting
down your production process.
• Key Applications: foam or liquid/foam level, glycol
regenerators, high-pressure coalescers, LNG applications

Configuration
Installation
Keep unit out of path of falling material, or protect probe from
falling material.
Build up of material in active shield area does not affect
switch operation.
Install probe at least 50 (2) from tank wall.
