1 Preliminary note 1.1 Symbols used • Operating elements are indicated as follows: Example: [OUT OFF] = Button “OUT OFF“. • An instruction is indicated by “►“. Example: ► Mount the unit as shown. • A reaction to the action is indicated by “>“. Example: >...
3 Functions and features • capacitive sensor used as level or proximity sensor • detects without contact metals, almost all plastics, glass, ceramics, wood, paper, oils, greases, water and all hydrous materials and indicates their presence by providing a switched signal •...
4 Installation 4.1 Use as a level sensor 4.1.1 Installation on flat tanks with a mounting adapter The mounting adapter is to be ordered separately (order no. E12153 pack quantity 1 piece or E12154 pack quantity 10 pieces). Figure A ►...
4.1.2 Mounting adapter bore hole dimensions Do not place the mounting adapter including inserted sensor in the immediate vicinity of metallic objects. 4.1.3 Installation on bybass pipes with a mounting adapter The mounting adapter is to be ordered separately (order no. E12153 pack quantity 1 piece).
4.2 Use as proximity sensor 4.2.1 Installation and installation remarks sensing face programming buttons plastic plate : nominal sensing range (see data sheet) A: distance = 8 mm B: width of the mounting with mounting adapter without mounting adapter adapter = 36 ►...
4.2.2 Minimum distances Installation of several sensors of the same type : nominal sensing range (see data sheet) A: sensor distance 50 mm 4.2.3 Sensor bore hole dimensions 5 Electrical connection The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician. The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment must be adhered to.
5.1 Wiring p-switching (type ...FPKG... or ...FPOG...) BN = brown, BK = black, BU = blue n-switching (type ...FNKG... or ...FNOG...) BN = brown, BK = black, BU = blue 5.2 Unit versions with auto-detect On power up, unit types with auto-detect (types ...FAKG or ...FAOG...) detect automatically if the output is connected to L- (p switching) or to L+ (n switching).
6 Operating and display elements 1: programming buttons 2: sensing face 7 Settings 7.1 Basic teach empty state Using the basic teach empty state the unit suppresses the installation environ- ment. The basic teach empty state resets the unit, an adjustment teach already carried out is deleted.
7.2 Adjustment teach full state Necessary for aqueous media. The sensitivity of the unit is optimised. Later on, the adjustment teach full state can be repeated at any time, an adjustment teach empty state already carried out is not affected. A basic teach empty state must be carried out prior to the adjustment teach full state (→...
7.3 Modified basic teach empty state Recommended for deposits in the tank. Deposits are largely suppressed. This is also recommended if it has not been possible to carry out a basic teach empty state (e.g. if the sensor is set up on a full tank; details: → chapter 7 Adjustment teach full state) Later on, the modified basic teach empty state can be repeated at any time, an adjustment teach full state already carried out is not affected.
7.4 Locking / unlocking The unit can be electronically locked to protect it against unintentional setting. ► To lock press [ OUT ON] and [OUT OFF] simulta- neously for 10 s. > Acknowledgement: LED state (yellow) changes for a short time (the lit LED goes out briefly or the LED which is not lit lights briefly).
11 Terms Active zone Area above the sensing face in which the sensor reacts to the approach of the target. Output function Normally open: object within the active zone - output switched. Normally closed: object within the active zone - output blocked. Programmable: Choice between normally closed or normally open.
