The PROCAP I 3-A and II 3-A are capacitance level sensors designed for sanitary food and dairy applications, featuring a 1" or 2" sanitary 316 SS mounting fitting. They operate with a universal power supply (PROCAP I: 24-240 VAC/VDC; PROCAP II: 115/230 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 2.2 VA) and provide a DPDT relay output rated at 10 A at 250 VAC. The sensors include Pro-Shield technology to compensate for material buildup, a visual LED status indicator, adjustable sensitivity to less than 1 picofarad, and a dual time delay up to 30 seconds. They are rated for ambient temperatures from -40°F to +158°F (-40°C to +70°C) and use Delrin-sleeved probes with a maximum temperature rating of 250°F (121°C). The enclosure is die-cast aluminum with a powder coat finish and FDA-recognized construction, but no regulatory approvals are listed.
The PROCAP I 3-A and II 3-A meet rigorous USDA, FDA and 3-A material and design standards for sanitary food and dairy processing. They can be used for high and low-level detection in bins, silos, tanks, hoppers, chutes, and other vessels used for the storage or manufacture of food or dairy products. They operate by detecting the presence or absence of material in contact with the probe, sensing minute changes (as low as 0.5 pF) in capacitance caused by the difference in the dielectric constant of the material versus the air. They are available with a wide assortment of probes and extensions to meet a variety of processing needs.
