Applications; Features - Siemens Pointek CLS200 Digital Operating Instructions Manual

Modular design and construction provide a wide choice of configurations, including rod,
cable, and sanitary versions. Pointek CLS200/300 Digital can be used either:
• as a standalone unit, programmed locally using the local user interface, or
• installed as part of a network, programmed remotely using SIMATIC PDM on a
Profibus PA network (or locally using the Local User Interface).

Applications

Level Detection
Pointek CLS200/300 is designed for level detection and simple pump control in a variety of
applications:
• Liquids, solids (powder and granules), slurries, interface detection (for example, oil/
water), and foam detection
• Foods and pharmaceuticals
• Chemical and petrochemical
• High pressure and temperature
Alarm signalling
The solid-state switch can be set to react either to a diagnosed fault in the instrument, or
to a change in the process level.
Fault Signalling
Pointek CLS200/300 can actively report information on its own status via PROFIBUS PA
when used as part of a network, or by means of a pre-defined output status at the solid
state switch and on the Local User Interface (LUI).

Features

• Potted construction protects components from shock, vibration, humidity, and/or
condensation
• High chemical resistance on probes
• Level detection independent of tank wall/pipe (CLS200 only)
• Freely programmable set up covers wide range of applications/materials
• Integrated Local User Interface (LUI) for ease of use
• Rigid and cable versions available
• Communication via PROFIBUS PA (profile version 3.0, Class B)
• Intrinsically Safe (IS) transmitter design for hazardous areas (requires external
barrier or IS power supply)
• Patented Active Shield minimizes the effect of product build-up at the sensor
mounting point (CLS300 only)
