models manufactured after January 26, 2011.

Equipment:

Pointek CLS300 (Standard Electronics Version) Capacitance Switch

While every effort was made to verify the following information, no warranty of accuracy or usability is expressed or implied.

Overview

This application guide is an addition to the operating instructions. Please review CLS300 (Standard Electronics Version) operating

instructions to ensure that the device is properly mounted.

This application guide provides a basic procedure for setting the switch point for correct operation of the CLS300 (Standard

Electronics Version) in either covered or uncovered states. Please note that the guide applies only to hardware manufact

ured after January 26, 2011 as indicated by a serial number of PBD/B127xxxx or higher. (For example, PBD/C9xxxxxx or

PBD/B128xxxx.)

Included in the guide are the appropriate start up procedures to quickly and effectively set up the Pointek CLS300 (Standard

Electronics Version) capacitance switch for general applications, demanding applications and interface detection. It also contains

instructions for adjusting the setpoint and alarm delay.

For more detailed information, please consult the operating manual (7ML19985JH04).

Adjusting the Setpoint

Before adjusting the setpoint or alarm delay the cover must be removed.

Prior to removing the cover, please ensure that power is removed, and that the application and installation allow for removal of

the cover. (This may not be permitted in some Hazardous Areas.)

Once the cover has been removed, apply power to the unit. The green power LED (L3) will glow indicating that the unit is powered

and operational. If L3 is not on, please consult the Specifications and Troubleshooting sections of the operating instructions.

Page 2 APPLICATION GUIDE Pointek CLS300 Applications Pointek CLS300 can be set up for three different applications which are described in the table below. Use the calibration procedure for the application that most closely describes your operation. Application Material Setup Conditions  dry solids sensor uncovered;...
Page 3 Alarm Delay Function If you want to slow the Pointek CLS300 response, to compensate for turbulence or false readings, set a delay interval using the delay potentiometer (P1) and set DIP switches S1 and/or S2 to the OFF position to enable the delay for either alarm activation (S1 OFF), alarm de-activation (S2 OFF), or both (S1 and S2 OFF).
Page 4 Turn DIP switch S4 to the OFF position. Continue to adjust the delay potentiometer (P1) until you have the desired delay. Operation After completing the setup, replace the lid and secure the lid clip. Pointek CLS300 Standard model is now ready to operate. Pointek CLS300 (Standard) AG080910...
