Notes:
1. Separate ordering code for controller and Electrode is required for Remote mounting (Refer page 4)
2. V/H Indicates mounting orientation : V=Vertical, H= Horizontal.
3. I/R indicates construction :I= Integrated,R= Remote i.e 2 part system seperate switch and probe unit.
4. Hysterisis varies as per process material sensed.
5. High temperature stand off (HTSO) is recommended for process temperature above 600 C
HTSO in SS 316 : 600C to 1800C,HTSO in CS & SINDANO : 1800C to 3000C.
Remotely mounted transducer housing : 3000C to 6000C.
6. Cable between Probe head and Controller is 4 core shielded Tinned copper multistrended 3 X 0.5 sq.mm.
100 Mtr.( Max.).
7. Slip on flanges with suitable threaded hole in required material e.g. CS/SS316/SS304,available optionally.
8. Size of Process connection as per “Electrode Selection Guide”.
 DIMENSIONAL DETAILS :

COAT-SAFE PRINCIPLE :
Normal probe may not perform satisfactorily if the
process material builds up on the probe to a significant
degree. The `coat-safe` electrode is designed to
overcome this problem. In this type of electrode, in
addition to the primary sensing electrode, a secondary
`coat-shield` electrode, insulated from ground &
primary electrode is used. This electrode is driven with
signal of equal phase & amplitude as primary electrode.
Hence when there is a coating / material buildup on
electrode , no current flows between primary &
secondary electrode. The electronic in strument
measures the current that flows from primary electrode
to ground. This means that build up is ignored.
Only when the product level in the vessel rises & covers
the primary electrode, it causes a current to flow which
is sensed, demodulated, amplified & causes the switch
to changeover.
