Product catalog summary
Overview
The Point™ Line Powered RF Series Point Level Switch is engineered for reliable detection of liquids, slurries, and granular materials. It features intelligent electronics that typically eliminate the need for calibration or setpoint adjustments, enhancing ease of maintenance and cost-effectiveness.
Key Features
  • No Calibration Required: Simplifies installation and operation by eliminating the need for calibration or setpoint adjustments.
  • Dielectric and Conductivity Changes: Automatically compensates for changes, reducing false alarms.
  • Coating Recognition: Detects and ignores probe coatings.
  • Universal Power Supply: Operates on a wide range of power inputs without jumper adjustments.
Applications
  • Effective for detecting materials under high pressure and temperature.
  • Suitable for tanks used for multiple products due to its material recognition capability.
Specifications
  • Technology: RF Admittance
  • Modes of Operation: High and Low Level
  • Repeatability: 2 mm for conductive liquids
  • Response Time: Less than one second
  • Temperature Range: -40 to 70°C for electronics, -40 to 85°C for storage
  • Ingress Protection: IP66 NEMA 4X
  • Approvals: Explosion-proof and dust-ignition proof for hazardous locations
Output and Housing
  • Output: DPDT relay dry contacts at 5A, 120VAC
  • Housing: Powder-coated aluminum with dual cable entries
Additional Features
  • Remote or Integral Electronics: Offers flexibility in mounting for safety and convenience.

PNL Series, ThePoint, Line Powered-1

DATA SHEET Intelligent Electronics Save Time and Money • UNIQUE! - NO calibration or setpoint adjustments, for most applications. • UNIQUE! - Ignores changes in dielectric or conductivity. • Automatically recognizes and ignores coatings to prevent false alarms. • Universal power supply automatically detects & adjusts to input power source. Diverse Applications • Detects the absence or presence of liquids, slurries, and granulars. • Capable of high pressures and temperatures. Economical Without Sacrifice • Retains superior performance. • Less maintenance than other technologies; no moving parts to hang up or wear out. Output • DPDT relay dry contacts at 5A, 120VAC. Remote or Integral Electronics Unlike many technologies, electronics can be remote mounted to a convenient or safe location. One of the Drexelbrook RF Point Level Switches You Won't Have to Calibrate Simply install ThePoint Series into the tank and apply power...that's it! Unlike other RF or capacitance systems that require calibration via setpoint potentiometers, jumpers, magnets, or pushbuttons, ThePoint Series reliably detects the absence or presence of material without any adjustments. ThePoint Series software continuously monitors the application for changes in composition, dielectric or conductivity, and maintains a repeatable trip point on the probe. Other RF and capacitance systems require calibration adjustments when the process material is changed. Since ThePoint Series recognizes changes in material, it is ideal for non-dedicated tanks that are used for a wide variety of products. Lower Cost of Ownership In addition to lower initial investment, ThePoint continues to save with little or no maintenance compared with other technologies. Further, the sensor can be lengthened or shortened in the field, saving need for additional purchases. Universal Power Supply ThePoint electronics use a universal power supply module that can be powered from a 19 to 250 Vac or 18 to 200 Vdc supply without moving jumpers.
