Page 4: Introduction
Introduction The Kotron Model 810 RF Point Level Sensor can be utilized in liquid or bulk material applications. There are no moving parts in contact with the medium. These units are integral systems with the sensing probe mounted with the electronics. Guarded probes are utilized to minimize effect of build up on the probe. -
Page 5: Electrostatic Discharge Handling Procedure
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Handling Procedure Magnetrol’s electronic instruments are manufactured to the highest quality standards. These instruments use electronic components that may be damaged by static electricity pre- sent in most work environments. The following steps are recommended to reduce the risk of component failure due to electrostatic discharge. -
Page 6: Probe Length
2.3.2 Probe Length If the geometry of your application requires a probe short- er than 12" (305 mm) of active length, refer to Figure 1 below to determine the minimum dielectric constant in which it can be used. Probe Length vs. Dielectric Constant Figure 1 Minimum dielectric constant of material Mounting... -
Page 7: Wiring
Wiring All power and control connections are made at the terminal strip within the amplifier enclosure, EXCEPT GROUNDING. Power grounding must be made at green ground screw on the housing base. 16AWG wire is recommended for power and control circuits. Mounting Screws NOTE: There are special wiring requirements for intrinsic safety. - Page 8 OPERATING MODE SELECTION The chart below is provided to aid in the proper choice of relay wiring and calibration. Please note: 1. Equipment controlled by the relay is assumed to be pow- ered from one source, while the Model 810 itself is assumed to be powered from a different source.

Page 9: Calibration
Calibration Caution: In hazardous areas, do not remove housing cover until power is disconnected and atmosphere os determined to be safe. Hazardous environments must be declared safe by the local safety authority. 2.6.1 Calibration Procedure 1. Turn on power to the instrument. 2. - Page 10 2. Fail-safe High— a. Set DIP switch position 3 OFF and position 4 ON. b. Turn the LEVEL control counterclockwise until the LED turns off. c. Turn the LEVEL control clockwise until the LED turns on. d. If media is on probe, slowly turn the LEVEL control counterclockwise until the LED turns off.
