Interface detection
Operation - Electronic module: Standard
* Interface detection with top mounted sensors is possible with detection of oil over water, since oil has a much lower
dielectric constant compared to water. For other applications please contact manufacturer.

1. Immerse probe in liquid A
or in foam which should
NOT be detected
Ensure that liquid A or foam (which should
NOT be detected) is covering the probe.
Liquid A or foam must have a
lower dielectric
constant
than liquid B, which should
be detected.
2. Turn poti P2 to most
sensitve position
Turn P2 fully counter clockwise
3. Set sensitivity low or high
Set dip switch S5 to low sensitivity.
L1 should glow.
If L1 (yellow) does not glow, set S5 to high sensitivity.
L1 should glow.
Note: The appropriate position of S5 depends
on the dielectric properties of the material.
4. Adjust switchpoint
with poti P2
Turn P2 clockwise until L1 just stops glowing.
Turn P2 further clockwise:
Dielectric constant

Number of
turns
< 2
1/8
2 ... 4
1/4
> 4
1/2
Depending on the application and the required
switchpoint the number of turns can be varied.
Note: The sensitivity is now setted thus that liquid A or foam is NOT detected.
5. Immerse probe in liquid B
which should be detected
Ensure that liquid B (which should
be detected) is covering the probe.
L1 should glow.
Switchpoint adjustment is
finished
