PURPOSE
Delavan’s Cap Analog 420 is a completely adjustable
remote R.F. Capacitance Transmitter. The 420 system
provides a continuous analog signal plus up to two independently
adjustable relays. This versatile transmitter
can be used in liquids, slurries and most powder bulk
solid applications.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Delavan’s R.F. capacitance Cap Analog 420 system uses
a compact pre-amplifier mounted on the rear of the probe
assembly. The pre-amp is housed in a cast aluminum
enclosure that is weather-tight and explosion proof. The
electronics are located in a remote NEMA 4X enclosure.
The Cap Analog 420, along with its probe sensor,
operates as a capacitance sensitive system that converts
changes in level to changes in output signal. After calibration,
any change in level is recognized and converted to
an analog output signal (4-20mA or 0-10 Volts DC). The
system will operate any standard 4-20mA DC or 0-10
Volts DC indicator. The Delavan AFI-150 or DFI-150 indicator
is available mounted in a rugged NEMA 4X housing.
The Cap Analog 420 system is available without
relays or with two relays along with the standard analog
outputs. The relay or relays are calibrated independent
of the analog circuit.
The Cap Analog 420 is supplied with two 20 turn, ZERO
and SPAN adjust potentiometers. These controls are
independent and non-interacting. In addition, DIP
Switches are provided to extend the range of ZERO
and SPAN potentiometers.
