BinMaster’s capacitance sensors are used for high and low level detection in bins, silos, tanks, hoppers, chutes and other vessels used for material storage or process manufacturing. They operate by detecting the presence or absence of material in contact with the probe by sensing minute changes (as low as 0.5 pF) in capacitance caused by the difference in the dielectric constant of the material versus the air. Class II hazardous location ratings and a wide assortment of probes and extensions make these capacitance probes appropriate for a variety of solid, liquid and slurry materials.
BinMaster capacitance probes provide interference-free operation – working far below the RF level of 9 KHz at just 6 KHz. – and will not interfere with two-way radios or other equipment operating in the radio spectrum. They feature simple “quick set” calibration and fail-safe operation including a visual LED to indicate sensor status. Accurate level detection is assured even in dusty, sticky or clinging materials by the PRO-Shield feature which compensates for material build up on the sensing probe. They provide fail-safe protection in the event of a power failure as well as an adjustable time delay to help prevent false readings.
Standard models include the PROCAP I & II. For hazardous locations, the PROCAP IX & IIX feature CSA Class I, Groups C & D and Class II, Groups E, F & G ratings. The PROCAP I 3-A & II 3-A meet rigorous USDA, FDA and 3-A material & design standards for sanitary food and dairy processing. The PROCAP I-FL & II-FL offer “no probe intrusion” and are designed for space constrained areas or applications where material flow or bridging may damage a standard probe.

Echotel® Models 961 & 962 Ultrasonic Level Switches meet these demands with advanced transducer designs, extensive hazardous location approvals, and a new self-test technology.
Model 961 offers the ultimate solution to reliable single point liquid level measurement. This advanced switch uses pulsed signal technology for superior performance in difficult process conditions, and to provide excellent immunity from sources of electrical noise interference. Extensive self-testing of the electronics and transducer make this advanced switch suitable for use in Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 loops.
Model 962 is a dual point switch that can be used as a level controller, or to control pumps in an auto fill or auto empty mode. The tip sensitive lower gap performs well in aerated or foamy liquids, and can measure to within 14" of the vessel bottom.

So that the customer gets the best equipment solution according to his requirements, we recommend this simple
procedure using the following pages:
• Define the dimension of the fitting or interface (e.g. thread G2“, DIN-flange DN25/PN16, etc.)
• Determine the electrical connection (e.g. terminal box, cable entry, plug, etc.)
• Find out the operating conditions, min. and max. operating pressure, temperature and specific gravity of
the media at the max. operating temperature.
• With the size of the fitting and material of the instrument, a guide specification can be selected on pages
105 to 107.
• The full and final specification can now be generated by reference to the „type key“ on pages 108 to 109.
• With the type description and the technical operating conditions a price quotation can be made or the
instrument can be ordered.
• Specification of the requested approval.

Pulsarpoint 600 - non-invasive point level measurement :
The Pulsarpoint 600 is ideal for situations where it is undesirable or impossible to make an entry into a liquid storage vessel, yet for example a high level alarm is required. Simply fixing onto the outside of the vessel, the Pulsarpoint 600 operates as an acoustic monitor, ultrasonic soundwaves being transmitted through the wall of the tank to detect the presence or absence of liquid.

The intelligent ultrasonic limit switch SONOCONTROL 40 controls the level of liquids and liquid gases. The new device of the SONOCONTROL series is used as a non-intrusive level control system through the wall, consisting of a probe, fastening, couplant and evaluation instrument.
The non-intrusive system can be used for ride-height control, full-/empty signaling, protection against dry running, position control, ice level control, limit control in liquids and liquid gases and for air bubble- and solid detection.
The compact configuration of the ultrasonic limit switch, containing sender and amplifier, ensures an optimal operating mode. Since the installation of the sensor occurs from the outside, abrasion and leakages can
be avoided.

Limit Switch for detecting the level of liquid media
Application area: Refrigeration
OPG 04
Characteristics:
Compact construction Long service life
No moving parts Measuring accuracy ± 0,5 mm
Reasonable prices Simple to install
Electrical connection: cable connection or plug
Optical switch condition check via the LED
Mounting direction: any Output PNP
High reliability Pressure 4 MPa, optional also higher pressure
Adjustable sensitivity for any application Glass fused in the steel body (without sealing)
Operating Principle:
The electro-optic sensor contains an infrared LED and a light receiver. Light from the LED is directed into a prism which forms the tip of the sensor. With no liquid present, light from the LED is reflected within the prism to the receiver. When rising liquid immerses the prism, the light is refracted out into the liquid, leaving little or no light reach the receiver. Sensing this change, the receiver actuates electronic switching within the unit to operate an external alarm or control circuit.
Areas of Application:
The opto electronic level switches OPG04 are used for monitoring the level of liquids. Applications include plants in the refrigeration.

The optimized ultrasonic limit switch SONOCONTROL 15 detects quickly and reliably whether a pipe is filled with liquids / liquid gases or not. The compact sensor is mainly used in plants of the pharmaceutical sector and the food industry. Here, the SONOCONTROL 15 is employed for the protection of pumps and the control of filling systems.
The known advantages of the limit switch, such as the non-intrusive ultrasonic measurement through the wall as well as the precise distinction between empty and liquid filled pipes, have been upgraded by further favourable characteristics. The simplified installation method of the 2-wire system for example, which can be carried out even during system operations, guarantees an optimal use of the device. Due to a new pipe fastening system made of plastics the sensor can be relocated quickly and easily. Furthermore, the advanced firmware assures a stable operating mode.
The required power supply is 12.. 40 VDC. According to the 4...20mA concept the switching status is represented by the current consumption of the sensor. The acceptable medium- or pipe temperature range lies between
-40°C...+140°C. A particular device version of the SONOCONTROL 15 is also available for the use in hazardous areas.
