Description
3.1
Measurement principle
The SITRANS LCS100 detects the capacitance around its probe. Due to the active shield
technology it has an increased insensitivity to material buildup on the probe.
3.2
Application
The SITRANS LCS100 is a capacitance switch for:
• Level detection of liquids, solids (powder and granules), slurries and foam
• Interface detection (for example, oil / water or foam / liquid)
It works in all types of vessels, pipes, and silos within a wide range of applications, such as:
• Food, brewery, dairy, beverage, and pharmaceuticals
• Chemical and petrochemical
• Water and waste water
• Machine building industry
It can also be used for leakage detection in double walled vessels, tanks and silos or in
moldings and collecting ponds.
3.3
Features
Process
• Measurement independent from influence of the vessel wall
• Factory provided precalibration allows measurement of most applications without
sensitivity setting on site
• Active shield electrode for compensation of material buildup
• Potted construction protects from shock, vibration, humidity, condensation
• Dielectric constant of 1.5 or more
• Process temperature up to 125°C
• Intrinsically Safe (IS) design for Hazardous areas (requires external barrier)
• Approvals CE, UKCA, UKEX, ATEX, IECEx, FM, CSA, INMETRO, WHG, VLAREM II
