1 . Measuring principle

Capacitive level meters CLM® are designed for continuous level measurement of liquids, powders

and bulk-solid materials in vessels, tanks, sumps, containers, silos, etc. CLM consists of the stainless

steel housing with electronic module and the measuring electrode. Type of measuring electrode is

dened by kind of use and type of measured media. The electronic part converts the capacity into

the current signal (4 ... 20 mA) or voltage signal (0 ... 10 V). Sensitivity (SPAN) and initial capacity

compensation (ZERO) can be uently set. CLMs are offered in version (N) for non-hazardous

environments or (Xi) version to explosive areas up to zone 0 or zone 20, high temperature performance

and several types of process coupling are also available.

2 . range of applications

Capacitive level meters are suitable for continuous level measurement of liquid and bulk-solid

materials. CLMs are resistant to any changes in the atmosphere above the surface (vacuum,

pressure, vapours, dust). It is also partially resistant to the formation of foam on the surface.

All operations described in this instruction manual have to be carried out only by trained

personnel or an accredited person. Warranty and post warranty service must be exclusively

carried out by the manufacturer.

Improper use, installation or set-up of the level meter can result in crashes in the application

(overlling of the tank or damage of system components).

The manufacturer is not responsible for improper use, losses of work caused by either direct

or indirect damage, and for expenses incurred during installation or use of the level meter.

CLM –36_–10 With uncoated rod electrode for level measurement of non-conductive

liquids (oils, diesel, petrol) and powder or bulk-solid materials (our, sand,

cement, plastic granulates, etc.). Max. length 5m.

CLM –36_–11 With fully (PFA) coated rod electrode for level measurement of water and

conductive liquids incl. wasted liquids in metallic vessels, concrete sumps,

reservoirs, etc., better behaviour against aggressive media, lower adhesion

to some complicated media, chemical resistance. Max. length 3m.

CLM –36_–12 With fully (FEP) coated rod electrode for level measurement of water and

conductive liquids incl. wasted liquids in metallic vessels, concrete sumps,

reservoirs, etc., better behaviour against aggressive media, lower adhesion

to some complicated media, chemical resistance. Max. length 3m.

CLM –36_–20 With uncoated rod electrode and reference tube for accurate level meas-

urement of clean non-conductive liquids (oils, diesel, petrol). By means of

reference tube the output signal does not depend on the dimensions and

shapes of a vessel. Max. length 3m.

CLM –36_–22 With fully FEP coated rod electrode and reference tube for accurate level

measurement of conductive liquids. Main use is for measurement in plastic

vessels or tanks. Impossible to use for waste and high viscosity liquids and

bulk-solid materials. Max. length 3m.

CLM –36_–30 With uncoated stainless steel rope electrode and uncoated weight

for level measurement of bulk-solid materials (grains, sand, our, cement,

etc.). Max. length 20m.

CLM –36_–31 With uncoated stainless steel rope electrode and coated dynamic

anchorage for level measurement of bulk-solid materials in higher silos.

Max. length 20m.

CLM –36_–32 With fully coated rope electrode and coated weight (rope insulation FEP,

weight insulation PTFE), for level measurement of electrically conductive

and non-conductive liquids. Max. length 20m.

CLM –36_–40 With two coated electrodes (rode insulation FEP, head fully PTFE), for

level measurement of aggressive liquids. Performance for non-explosive

areas only. Max. length 2m.

5 . influence of the tank shape on a linearity of MeasureMent

• In a curved tanks (most frequently

horizontal cylinder) capacity change

during measuring of electrically

non-conductive material is non-linear.

• Linearity is done by reference tube

(CLM–36_–20, 22), or by reference

electrode (CLM–36_–40).

• In the tank with straight wall (for

example vertical cylinder) and with

the sensor placed parallely with the

wall capacity change is linear.

• For sensors with two electrodes (in

the tank with straight or curved wall)

is the capacity change linear.

BASIC INFORMATION

Level meters with coated electrode have protection cover at the end of electrode, which is necessary

take down before mounting.

Level meters mount in vertical position to upper lid of tank or reservoir by steel welding

ange ON-36x2 (steel 11375), stainless steel welding ange NN-36x2 (stainless steel 1.4301),

xing nut UM-36x2 (stainless steel 1.4301) or Clamp ange.

For mounting level meter to the metal tank or reservoir is not necessary to ground housing

again.

In case of installation in concrete sumps or silos it is properly to install level meter at metallic

auxiliary construction (console, lid, etc.) and then connect with metal all the time submerged object,

eventually with steel armouring.

For measuring of material in plastic and glass vessels by level meter without reference tube

is necessary to connect grounding screw at housing with auxiliary electrode which is xed by the

appropriate method to the outer casing of vessels (or at inner wall). Material of auxiliary electrode

is necessary to choose with consideration to the working environment and properties of measured

material.

• electrical connection
