FAQs of Capacltance Level Switches:

Q: How does a capacitance level switch detect materials?

A: A capacitance level switch detects changes in capacitance caused by the presence or absence of a materialliquid, powder, or granulearound its probe. This change is converted into an output signal via its SPDT relay, indicating the material level to the monitoring system.

Q: What installations and environments are suitable for this switch?

A: The switch supports both threaded and flanged installations and can be mounted vertically or horizontally. It is designed for atmospheric pressure settings and can be used indoors or outdoors, thanks to its IP65 protection rating.

Q: When should I use this switch for level detection?

A: These switches are ideal for continuous or point level detection in storage silos, tanks, and process bins when monitoring a range of materials up to 5 meters in height is required. They are particularly beneficial in applications demanding high accuracy (2 mm) and LED status indication.

Q: Where can this level switch be used?

A: It is widely used in industries like chemical processing, food production, water treatment, and material storage, wherever liquid, powder, or granular level detection is crucial. The compact design and robust build make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor locations.

Q: What are the connectivity and supply voltage requirements?

A: The device operates on either 24V DC or 230V AC power supply. For electrical connections, it supports both 2-wire and 3-wire configurations, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of control panels.

Q: How is the switch output integrated into control systems?

A: The built-in SPDT relay (5A @ 230V AC) provides straightforward integration into standard process automation systems, allowing direct control of alarms, pumps, or shutoff valves based on material level detection.

Q: What benefits does this capacitance switch offer over other types?

A: It provides precise, non-contact level detection with fast response, minimal maintenance, and high reliability. Its flexibility in installation, compatibility with various materials, and robust IP65 housing offer significant advantages for industrial automation.
