Safety information Intended use The CFP Cubic is a level sensor based on a capacitive measurement principle. The level is determined and the limit values are assessed by evaluating the capacitive fields. The sensor is designed for both continuous level measurement and discontinuous level measurement in nearly all liquids.
Repairs Repair work on the sensor may only be performed by qualified and authorized personnel from SICK AG. Interference with or modifications to the sensor on the part of the cus- tomer will invalidate any warranty claims against SICK AG.
3.1.2 Type code 0100 – Cubic Position Description Product group CFP Cubic: Capacitive level sensor CFP Cubic Probe length in mm 0100: 100 mm ascending in increments of 100 mm 1,000: 1,000 mm Certification Without certification Probe design PP rod probe...
3.3.1 Principle of operation The CFP Cubic works according to the capacitive measurement principle. This means that electrodes are integrated in the probe to span and measure a capacitive field. The medium touching the probe influences the measured capacitance. Linear to the level, this change in capacitance is then evaluated in the sensor and output as a corre- sponding level.
A minimum connecting piece diameter in accordance with the following graphic must be observed. The CFP Cubic is to be installed in such a way that, after it has been mounted, there is a sufficient distance between it and other tank components (e.g., supply pipes, other measuring devices) as well as the sides and bottom of the con- tainer.
If this is not done, the device does not fulfill any specified IP enclosure rating! 8021989 / 2017-10-20 | SICK AG O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | C F P C U B I C...

8.3.6 Normally open with error signal Application If there is an error message on the CFP Cubic, this can be output using a switching output. Configuration Configure the Qx switching output as normally open for error signals (using Q1 as an example).
Set the parameter to NO (normally open) in the Q1-INP / POL1 menu. Configuration of analog outputs 8.4.1 Automatic signal detection The CFP Cubic can automatically detect if a 4–20 mA or 0–10 V signal is required using the connected output load. The following rules apply: •...

REPAIR Repair 12.1 Maintenance The CFP Cubic is maintenance-free. We recommend that you perform the following measures at regular intervals: − Check the probe for contamination − Check the screw connections and plug connectors 12.2 Returns Rinse off and/or clean removed devices before returning them in order to protect our employees and the environment from dangers posed by residue from measured mate- rials.
All connections are reverse polarity protected. All outputs are overload and short-circuit protected. 8021989 / 2017-10-20 | SICK AG O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | C F P C U B I C...
