Series CRF2 Capacitive Level Transmitter
Specifications - Installation and Operating Instructions
Bulletin L-36
The
Series CRF2 Capacitive Level Transmitter
is a level transmitter providing a two-
wire 4 to 20 mA output to indicate level of liquids, powders and bulk materials. State of
the art sensing technology in the CRF2, using impulse RF admittance measurement
provides excellent accuracy and stability. The CRF2 senses capacitance changes
resulting from the height of the material in the tank between the probe and the tank
wall. In non-metallic tanks or tanks that do not have the wall parallel to the probe a
ground reference must be used.
The CRF2 comes with either a rigid or flexible probe depending on application
installation need and probe length required. Featured in the CRF2 is easy push button
calibration of zero and span. Custom order the CRF2 to any length probe that you
need for your application. FEP covered probe is ideal for use with corrosive media.
