Level Transmitter sensing matters

Product Overview
Trumen two wire capacitance type level transmitter model TLC2 is
suitable for liquid & solid application like powder, slurry, chemical,
edible oil etc. Trumen TLC2 is a fully, partially PTFE & ceramic
insulated and used as a robust rod probe and flexible rope probe for
level detection.

Operating Principle
The probe forms a capacitance with the
metalic tank-wall. The capacitance is total
C(residual) sum of three capacitance:-
C(air)=ε(air) x P x (H-L)
C(material)=ε(material) x P x L
C(residual) is due to device itself.
C(material)
Where ε(air) is the dielectric constant of air ≈1.
ε(material) is dielectric constant of material.
P is the constant of probe and installation,
H is the active length of probe and L is the
level of material.

Capacitance to level translation is performed

mA with the aid of on-site calibration also called
4 20
"wet-calibration".

CALIB The device stores a low level capacitance as

read C(low) level for 4mA and high level capacitance as
for 4mA
level for 20mA as defined by the user.
Using these values and following equation

C(high) C(low)
L(high) L(low) =
P x {ε(material) ε(air)}
Applications mA L(high)
