Dwyer Model CLS1

Model CLS1 Capacitance Level Switch

Dwyer Model CLS1For Solids, Liquids or Slurries, Fail-Safe Protection, <1 pF Sensitivity

The Dwyer Model CLS1 Capacitance Level Switch provides reliable point level measurement of solids, liquids and slurries in metallic or non-metallic tanks and vessels. Model CLS1 detects the presence or absence of material in contact with the probe by sensing a change in the capacitance. Electronics provide highly sensitive measurement detection (requires less than a 1 picofarad shift from ambient). State of the art technology ignores material build-up on the vessel sidewall or along the probe assembly. One time calibration is simple with a single multi-turn potentiometer. Red LED on housing indicates sensor status. Unit features an adjustable 1-30 second time delay and a 5 amp, SPDT fail-safe relay output. Model CLS1 can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
