Pointek CLS100 is a compact, 2-wire, inverse frequency shift
capacitance switch for level and material detection in constricted spaces, interfaces, solids, liquids, slurries, and foam;
with the ability to tune out buildup on probe.
■ Benefits
Easy installation with verification by built-in LED
Low maintenance with no moving parts
Sensitivity adjustment
Integrated cable or PBT enclosure versions available

■ Application
Pointek CLS100’s short insertion length of 100 mm (4 inch) and
versatility in various applications and in vessels or pipes makes
it a good replacement for traditional RF capacitance sensors.
Pointek CLS100 installation, dimensions in mm (inch)
Its advanced tip-sensing technology provides accurate, repeatable switchpoint performance. The PPS (Polyphenylene sulfide)
probe [optional PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride)] is chemically resistant with an effective process operating temperature range
from -30 to +100 °C (-22 to +212 °F) (7ML5501), and -10 to
+100 °C (14 to 212 °F) (7ML5610). The fully potted design ensures reliability in a vibrating environment such as agitated tanks
up to 4 g. When used with a SensGuard protection cover, the
CLS100 is protected from shearing, impact, and abrasion in
tough primary processes.
The Pointek CLS100 is available in three versions. The integral
cable version has a stainless steel process connection and
probe options of PPS or PVDF. The fully synthetic version has a
thermoplastic polyester enclosure with a PPS process connection combined with a PPS probe. The standard enclosure version
has a thermoplastic polyester enclosure with a stainless steel
process connection in combination with a PPS or PVDF probe.
• Key Applications: liquids, slurries, powders, granules, food
and pharmaceuticals, chemicals, hazardous areas

When driving an inductive load (for example, an external relay), a protection diode
must be connected in the correct polarity to prevent possible switch damage due to
inductive spikes generated by switching the inductor (please refer to instruction
manual). Intrinsically Safe Models - please follow local regulations and area
classifications; refer to instruction manual for more details.
