Introduction
Applications
Capacitive level limit switch for level monitoring in all types of
containers and silos.
It can be used with powdery and granulated bulk materials
with a dielectric constant of min. 1.6
A selection of elds of application:
• Building materials industry
lime, moulding sand, cement, etc.
• Food industry
milk powder, our, salt, etc.
• Plastics industry
plastics granules etc.
• Animal feed industry
• Chemical industry
• Mechanical engineering
Function
The Capanivo detects the capacitance around its probe. Due to the
active shield technology it has an increased insensitivity to material
buildup on the probe.
The measurement is nearly independent from the inuence of
the silo wall. Therefore factory provided precalibration allows
measurement of most applications without calibration on site.
The unit is normally screwed into the lateral container wall so that it
is level with the lling height to be registered and monitored.
The length of the probe can be up to 3 m (118”) with an extension
tube (CN 4030) or up to 6 m (236”) with an extension rope
(CN 4050).
The use of a sliding sleeve is recommended so that the switch
point can be changed easily during operation of the device.

Materials of construction are chosen based on their chemical compatibility (or inertness) for general
purposes. For exposure to specic environments, check with chemical compatibility charts before
installing.
Fastening of the
threaded process
connection
Mounting torque for the thread may not exceed 40 Nm (metal thread)/ 20 Nm (plastic thread). Use a
open-end wrench. Do not fasten by turning the housing, for this will destroy the unit.
Food grade material The materials are available for the use under nornal and predictable applications (according to directive
1935/2004 Art.3). Other conditions can inuence the safety.
Mounting instructions
Direction of the cable
glands
When the unit is mounted from the side, ensure, that the cable glands face downwards and are closed
to avoid water penetration into the housing. The housing can be rotated after installation.

Electrical installation
Handling In the case of inexpert handling or handling malpractice the electric safety of the device cannot be
guaranteed.
Protective earthing Before any electrical installation, the device must be connected to the protective earthing terminal
inside the housing.
Installation regulations The local regulations or VDE 0100 (Regulations of German Electro technical Engineers) must be
observed.
With use of 24 V supplay voltage, an approred power supply with renforced isolation to mains is
required
Fuse Use a fuse as stated in the connection diagram.
RCCB protection In the case of a defect, the distribution voltage must automatically be cut off by a RCCB protection
switch so as to protect the user of the device from indirect contact with dangerous electric tensions.
Power supply switch A power-supply-disconnecting switch must be provided and marked near the device.
Wiring diagram The electrical connections have to be made according to the wiring diagram.
Supply voltage Compare the supply voltage applied with the specications given on the electronic and name plate
before switching the device on.
Cable gland/ closing
element
The screwed cable gland and closing element must have following specications:
Ingress protection IP66, temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, UL or VDE certied (depending on
the country where the unit is installed), pull relief.
Make sure that the screwed cable gland safely seals the cable and that it is tight (danger of water
intrusion). Cable glands that are not used have to be locked with a closing element.
Field wiring cables • The diameter has to match to the clamping range of the used cable gland.
• The cross section has to match with the clamping range of the connection terminals and consider the
max. current.
• All eld wirings must have insulation suitable for at least 250 V AC.
• The temperature rating must be at least 90°C (194°F).
• If higher immunity interferences as specied in the stated EMC standards are present (see chapter
approval), a shielded cable is required, otherwise an unshielded instrumentation cable is satisfactory.
Connecting the terminals Make sure that max. 8 mm (0.31“) of the pigtails are bared (danger of contact with live parts).
Guiding the cables in the
terminal box
Cut the eld wiring cables to appropriate length to t properly into the terminal box.
Relay and transistor
protection
Provide protection for relay contacts and output transistors to protect the device against spikes with
inductive loads.
Protection against static
charging
The unit must be grounded in any case to avoid static charging of the unit, especially on applications
with pneumatic conveying.

For these types a non changeable electronic is located inside the
probe. Please return defective units to the manufacturer.
CN 4020
Opening the lid (cover) Before opening the lid for maintenance reasons observe following items:
• Do not remove the lid while circuits are alive.
• No dust deposits or whirlings are present.
• No rain can enter into the housing.
Frequent check of the
unit
To ensure durable safety in hazardous locations and with electrical safety, following items must be
checked frequently depending on the application:
• Mechanical damage or corrosion of any components (housing side and sensor side) and of the eld
wiring cables.
• Thight sealing of the process connection, cable glands and enclosure lid.
• Properly connected external PE cable (if present).
Cleaning If cleaning is required by the application, following must be observed:
• Cleaning agent must comply with the materials of the unit (chemical resistance). Mainly the lid
sealing, cable gland and the surface of the unit must be considered.
The cleaning process must be done in a way, that:
• The cleaning agent cannot enter into the unit through the lid sealing or cable gland.
• No mechanical damage of the lid sealing, cable gland or other parts can happen.
A possible accumulation of dust on the unit does not increase the maximum surface temperature and
must therefore not be removed for purposes of maintaining the surface temperature in hazardous
locations.
Function test A frequent function test may be required depending on the application.
Observe all relevant safety precautions related with a safe work depending on the application (e.g.
hazardous locations, hazardous bulk material, electric safety, process pressure).
This test does not proof if the sensor is sensitive enough to measure the material of the application.
Function test is done by touching the sensor part with appropriate means (e.g. grounded metal plate or
hand) and monitor if a correct change of the signal output from uncovered to covered happens.
Production date The production date can be traced by the serial number on the typeplate. Please contact the
manufacturer or your local distrubutor.

General Notes
Marking Devices with Ex approval are marked on the name plate.
Process pressure The device construction allows process over-pressure upto 6/ 16 bar (87/ 232 psi) (see name
plate). These pressures are allowed for test purposes. The denition of the ATEX/ IEC-Ex is only
valid for a container-over-pressure between -0.2 .. +0.1 bar (-2.9 .. +1.45 psi). For higher or lower
pressures the approval is not valid.
Process and ambient
temperature
The permitted temperature ranges are marked on the name plate. Observe derating curves.
