® Introduction LVCN6000/7000 Capacitive Point Level Detection The LVCN Series are capacitance switches ideal for High/Low level detection for liquid, solids, granular materials and pastes. These units can also detect level without being in contact with the product through a sight glass. Unlike other capacitance probes, the LVCN6000/7000 can detect conductive, non-conductive or low dielectric materials with extremely accurate performance without requiring an external reference or installation in a metal vessel.

Periodic visual inspection of the probe is required to check for corrosion or deposit build-up. If deposits are found, clean the sensor to ensure Fig. 5 optimum performance. When cleaning the rod use a soft brush or any other similar object. www.omega.com e-mail: info@omega.com...
