3.2.2 Operating buttons
The sensor is operated using the display and the operating buttons.
For a detailed description of the pushbuttons and their functions, see “8.1 Display and
pushbuttons”.
3.3 Product features and functions
3.3.1 Principle of operation
The CFP Cubic works according to the capacitive measurement principle. This means
that electrodes are integrated in the probe to span and measure a capacitive eld. The
medium touching the probe inuences the measured capacitance. Linear to the level,
this change in capacitance is then evaluated in the sensor and output as a corre-
sponding level.
The sensor can output this level as a continuous measured value (analog output)
and can also derive two or four freely positionable switching points from it (switching
outputs). IO-Link communication is also available for the switching output Q1,
see “8.1.3 IO-Link”.
3.3.2 Fields of application
The MCiM technology developed by SICK enables convenient and reliable level mea-
surement irrespective of the container material.
The CFP Cubic is suitable for both continuous level measurement and discontinuous
level measurement in nearly all liquids. Furthermore, temperature values can also be
processed continuously or as a limit value depending on the variant.

5MOUNTING
5 Mounting
5.1 Installation conditions
The CFP Cubic level sensor is mounted vertically from above into the container.
The sensor features a G 3/4 A, 3/4" NPT threaded connection or Easy Clamp bracket
(clamping bracket for innite adjustment of the required length).
A minimum connecting piece diameter in accordance with the following graphic must
be observed. The CFP Cubic is to be installed in such a way that, after it has been
mounted, there is a sufcient distance between it and other tank components (e.g.,
supply pipes, other measuring devices) as well as the sides and bottom of the con-
tainer.
These minimum distances are also specied in the following graphic. Observe a min-
imum distance of 30 mm to the container sides and to the tank components.
When operating the sensor, ensure that the ambient temperature is not above or below
the limits. Insulating the sensor housing is not permitted for tanks with hot media.
When positioning the device, ensure that the sensor is not directly exposed to the lling
ow and that at least 10 mm of the probe is covered by the medium to be measured on
all sides.
The sensor housing can be rotated 360°, allowing for the cable outlet to be positioned
freely. If the process temperature drops below 0 °C during operation, the probe must
not be subjected to transverse loads.

Commissioning
1. Mount the sensor as appropriate to the installation conditions, see “5 Mounting”.
2. The level must be at least 10 mm below the end of the probe.
3. Perform empty adjustment.
This menu can be accessed via EXPRT and USER.
• Perform the adjustment using CALEMP.
• The successful empty adjustment is conrmed with !CALOK.
4. Adapt the level in the container until approx. 50% of the probe is covered with the
measuring medium.
5. Automatically adjust the medium.
• Adjust using AUTCAL.
• The successful AUTCAL function is conrmed with !CALOK.
6. Analyze the signal quality, see “8.5.10 Evaluating signal quality”.
Perform the following steps if the signal quality is not sufcient:
• Reduce the value in the MEAS / TRSHLD menu.
7. Congure the lter, see “8.5.8 Filtering measured values”.
8. Congure outputs, see “8.3 Conguring the switching outputs”.
Note:
If the AUTCAL function was conrmed with !FAILD, relaunch commissioning.
Note:
The following parameters are automatically adjusted while executing the AUTCAL func-
tion:
• The EXPRT / MEAS / TRSHLD parameter is adjusted.
• The EXPRT / MEAS / ADAPT = 60 s parameter is adjusted.
Note:
If the CalEmp function was conrmed with !FAILD, relaunch commissioning.
Note:
If a quick adjustment to a new medium is required, the EXPRT / MEAS / ADAPT para-
meter has to be reduced.
In the event of problems during commissioning, see “11 Troubleshooting”.
