Capacitance Level Switch, Optional Remote Mount, DPDT
The Delta Controls Model 105 Capacitance Level Switch uses RF Admittance technology to produce a switching action when a material level crosses the set point. The interface position of two liquids with different dielectric constants is accurately detected, including with cloudy interface conditions. One of the liquids should be nonconductive. Model 105 is insensitive to specific gravity (SPG) variations.
Many probe configurations are available. Integral mounting produces a simple one-piece unit generally results in the lowest installed cost. Alternately, the Model 105 electronics module may be connected via coaxial cable up to 50 feet away.
Horizontal mounting is usually preferred for alarm action as it provides the sharpest switch point definition. For adjustable differential action use, Model 105 must be mounted vertically or at an angle. The material level must move past the two points on the probe where switch action is to occur.
