ICS

Capacitive level indicators
Control of solids

Intended use

Versatile model for normally horizontal or inclined mounting and to have an electronic remote installation. The capacitive levels indicators ICS with the control unit ICU are to be used to control the maximum or minimum level of bulk solids in silos or vessels.

The model ICS has a Stainless Steel rod recovered of PTFE and the devices can have a shaft up to 2.000 mm length depending of the product to control.

This model has a insensitive rod between the probe and the proccess connection to avoid the possibility of settle of the product over the probe and false signals. It is not recommended for sticky solids or products that have the tendency to settle over probe.

Function

The rod must to be exposed to the material. When the level of product reaches the rod, the control unit ICU reverses the signal due to a change of the capacity of the environment.

When the product disappear from the detection range, the signal turns to the initial position.

The control unit ICU has a regulation system that allow the adjustment of the sensitivity and a response time adjustment due to a nut in the electronic module.

Mechanical connection

The device can be mounted horizontally or vertically depending on the model.

The normal installation is by screwing the device onto the deposit wall, with a mounting flange or with an appropiate support to fix it. For a proper function, the device should be installed with a 20º to 30º slope from the horizontal onto the silo wall to to facilitate the flow of the material and to prevent the material from remaining over the probe.

Dimensions

Approximate measures given in mm.
