1 Introduction
Coat-Endure is a microcontroller based compact coat im-
mune admittance level limit switch. It is a compact level
switch which is suitable for sticky solids, pastes and slur-
ries. The device is specially suited for compact silos and
packaging machines where material has a tendency to stick
on the probe.
Figure 1: Coat-Endure
2 Operating Principle
Coat-Endure is an improvement over traditional principle
of admittance. The ring type probe has an alternating active
and an inactive region, which collectively help the controller
to calculate the extent of coating on the probe. In effect,
the device is able to identify the differential coating between
the sense and the shield by measuring their individual ca-
pacitances. As the coating immunity is controlled by the on-
board microcontroller, the extent of coating immunity can be
set easily.

8 Installation Guidelines
8.1 Procedure for Installation
For quick and easy installation, follow the steps in the
order mentioned below:
1. Testing Electrical Connections: Before mounting the
device on the tank, understand and test the connec-
tions outside the tank for at least one piece. For details
on connections, refer to Figure 5 before connecting the
device to outputs and power supply.
2. Mounting the Device: Correct mounting of the in-
strument is critical to the operation of the instrument.
Please refer to Tank Mounting Installation to mount the
instrument in the tank/silo or hopper. Coat-Endure is
designed to work properly in metal-body tanks only,
e.g. MS, SS or Aluminium tanks. Performance in plas-
tic tanks might not be satisfactory.
3. Electrical Connections: Perform the electrical con-
nections as mentioned earlier in Step 1.
4. Calibration and Settings:
•For non-conductive materials, Coat-Endure can
be calibrated in an empty process tank without
the application material.
•If the application material is conductive, Coat-
Endure has to be calibrated with the material.
Time-delay and fail-safe selection should be done af-
ter this stage. Section Calibration and Settings covers
settings in more detail.
5. Trial Run: Perform a trail run of the application pro-
cess with the application material. In case of errors
or unsatisfactory output, refer to Section Error Indica-
tions.
6. Finishing the Installation: Tighten the lid and the ca-
ble entries on the instrument so that no moisture seeps
into the instrument.
8.2 Tank Mounting Installations
•Coat-Endure is designed to work in metal-body tanks
only, e.g. M.S., S.S. or Aluminium tanks. Performance
in plastic tanks might not be satisfactory.
•The Coat-Endure probe can be installed in the ves-
sel in both horizontal (side mounting) and vertical (top
mounting) positions. Please refer to Figures 3 and 4.
•To prevent the ingress of moisture and water seepage
in side mounting position, the cable entries should al-
ways point downwards.
•Weatherproofness of enclosure is guaranteed only if
the cover is in place and glands are adequately tight-
ened. Damage due to accidental entry of water can be
avoided if the instrument is installed in a rain shade.
•If the ambient temperature is high, the instrument
should not be installed to receive direct sunlight. If
such a position of shade is not available, a heat shield
should be fitted above the instrument especially if the
operating temperature lies between 60◦C and 80◦C.
•Grounding part (S.S. material) of the probe should be
exposed atleast 20mm inside the hopper after thread-
ing/nozzle.

9 Calibration and Settings
The DIP switches for calibration and settings can be ac-
cessed by opening the top aluminium cover. Procedure for
calibration Coat-Endure depends on the conductivity of the
application material:
•Calibration for Non-Conductive Materials
Calibration should be done without the application ma-
terial. Once calibrated in the empty tank, the device
can be used with a wide range of non-conductive ma-
terials.
•Calibration for Conductive Materials
For applications using conductive materials (water,
acid based pastes etc.), Coat-Endure needs to be cali-
brated with the application material. This will make the
instrument specific to the application material i.e. if the
application material is changed; calibration should be
repeated.
Note:
Calibration in air is specific to the tank, if the tank
changes, the instrument needs to be calibrated
again.
9.1 Calibration for Non-Conductive Materials
Coat-Endure needs to be calibrated inside the empty pro-
cess tank (i.e only air, no material). Calibrating the instru-
ment outside the tank can cause malfunctions. Once cali-
brated inside the empty tank, Coat-Endure can operate with
a wide range of application materials without the need of
changing its default sensitivity settings.
1. Make sure that all DIP switches are in the OPEN posi-
tion.
2. To start with the calibration, set the CALIBRATE switch
to CLOSE position (CLOSE is opposite of OPEN for
DIP switch).
3. Make sure that the status LED is not blinking. A blink-
ing LED here indicates Error.
4. Then press ENTER, the status LED will blink once in
RED color.
5. Now set the CALIBRATE switch back to OPEN posi-
tion.
6. Air calibration for Coat-Endure is now complete.
Now, test the calibration by filling in the material or drain-
ing it out from the tank. Repeat the filling and draining to
confirm proper operation of the device.
Note:
For certain application materials, Coat-Endure might
need an adjustment to its settings. Refer to Section
Sensitivity Adjustment for more details.
9.2 Calibration for Conductive Materials
Fill the tank with the application material such that the
probe is completely covered with the material.
1. Make sure that all DIP switches are in the OPEN posi-
tion.
2. To start with the calibration, set the CALIBRATE and
COVER switches to CLOSE position (CLOSE is oppo-
site of OPEN for DIP switch).
3. Make sure that the status LED is not blinking, a blinking
LED here indicates Error.
4. Then press ENTER, the status LED will blink once in
RED color.
5. Now set the CALIBRATE and COVER switch back to
OPEN position.

it out from the tank. Repeat the filling and draining to
confirm proper operation of the device.
Note:
For certain conductive application materials, Coat-
Endure might need an adjustment to its settings. Re-
fer to Section Sensitivity Adjustment for more details.
9.3 Factory Reset
To reset time delays and sensitivity values to default val-
ues, follow the following steps:
1. Set the CALIBRATE, COVER and UNCOVER switches
to CLOSE position
2. PRESS and HOLD the ENTER key until the status LED
blinks.
3. Switch the CALIBRATE, COVER and UNCOVER
switches back to OPEN position.
4. This will set the time delay to 0 and the sensitivity level
to 3.
9.4 Cover Delay
When the application material covers the probe, the
changeover of the output can be delayed by a pre-
determined time. This time is called COVER Delay. For
a different value of Cover Delay, the number of blinks can
be adjusted as per requirement.
Note:
You can set the value of COVER DELAY between 1-
25 secs.
Follow the below procedure for setting Cover Delay

which the cover delay is set. 1 blink is equal to 1 second
during switching. A maximum of 25 seconds can be set.
9.5 Uncover Delay
When the application material uncovers coat-endure’s
probe, the changeover of the output can be delayed by a
pre-determined time. This time is called UNCOVER Delay.

2. Low capacitance
To avoid errors:
1. Always complete the calibration by putting the CALIBRATE switch back to OPEN position. This can be done within 2
minutes of releasing ENTER for the last time for calibration purpose.
2. Always complete the delay settings by putting the DELAY switches back to OPEN position. This can be done within 2
minutes of releasing the ENTER for DELAY setting purpose.
3. Make sure that only 1 switch is at the CLOSE position amongst the CALIBRATE, COVER and UNCOVER switches.
Fail-safe switch can be OPEN or CLOSE and is not a source of error.
Resetting Error:
1. Bring the CALIBRATE, COVER and UNCOVER switches to OPEN position.
2. Press the ENTER key.
3. LED alternate color blinking will STOP.

11 Maintenance
The electronics of this instrument needs no maintenance. When cleaning and checking the vessel, free the probe from
deposits. If the material has a tendency to form a hard sticky deposit, then the instrument must be checked more often. Make
sure that the cable ducts and the lid are tightly sealed so that no moisture seeps into the instrument.
