Cape-11R Rope RF Admittance Level Switch

Cape-11R Rope RF Admittance Level Switch is specially designed for top-mounting applications in which the probe length has to be longer than two meters. A cable component is employed to extend the probe length. Cape-11R is suitable for larger tanks and silos, the vertically installation can effectively avoid impact from filling material.

In Cape-11 RF Admittance Level Switch series products, a probe is designed to detect the change of capacitance and impedance between probe and vessel wall to fulfill material level measurement and control. In its electronic unit, reactance between measurement electrode and the wall of an empty vessel constitute a balanced bridge circuit which outputs a stable oscillation signal. As medium level rises, measured medium covers measurement electrode, reactance between electrode and the wall of vessel changes. It causes imbalance of bridge circuit and stops the oscillation as a result. A post-circuit is designed to detect the change of output signal from bridge circuit and generate an alarm signal. In addition, oscillation signal at radio frequency is not only applied to the measurement electrode but also applied to a shield pole through a 1: 1 voltage-follower, so measurement electrode and shield pole have the same electric potential, phase, and frequency, but these two electrodes are insulated from each other. Even if there is medium buildup on probe, because there is no electric potential difference between measurement electrode and shield pole, and the reactance change on shield pole has no effect on the detection of post-circuit. Therefore, only reactance change on measurement electrode induced by the filled medium between measurement electrode and the wall of vessel will be detected by post-circuit. It eliminates the effect of medium buildup on level measurement.
