PROCAP Capacitance Probes No plant equipment interference from RF signals Innovative Design PROCAP capacitance probes use advanced integrated circuit technology operating at a low frequency to achieve both high sensitivity and stable calibration. The probe uses a simple timing technique that compares the discharge time of the probe capacitance to that of a reference capacitance. The probe’s outstanding stability results from several factors. • A single integrated circuit makes the critical timing comparison. Temperature variations have an equal effect on the timing of both the probe and...

Material Buildup Quality Construction, Reliable Performance Accurate & reliable level detection even in the harshest conditions Pro-Shield Prevents False Readings PROCAP sensors feature PRO-Shield to guard against false readings from buildup on the probe or bridging between the sidewall and the probe. The shield is a portion of the probe that emits a non-sensing signal that forces the active signal to examine a large area around the probe. The PRO-Shield allows the PROCAP sensors to be used in vessels storing a wide variety of dusty, sticky, or clinging materials. Time Delay Minimizes False...

PROCAP Sensors Modular Design, Many Applications BinMaster’s PROCAP capacitance sensors are designed for a wide array of applications. PROCAP sensors may be used in solid, liquid and slurry materials. The sensors may be used for high and low level detection in bins, silos, tanks, hoppers, chutes and other vessels where material is stored, processed or discharged. Detects Wide Range of Materials Capacitance sensors are calibrated based on the dielectric constant of the material being detected. BinMaster’s PROCAP sensors may be easily calibrated for detecting material with a dielectric...

PROCAP Series Mounting Flexibility, Various Configurations Mounting Options Bendable Probe This probe can be bent to avoid obstructions in a vessel while still allowing adequate probe surface area to detect presence or absence of material. The bendable probe can be used in most solid materials; one popular use is in smaller mixers or containers for food processing applications. Hazardous Locations PROCAP IX & IIX capacitance sensors are specially designed for hazardous location applications. The sensor housing is explosion proof for Class I, Groups C & D and Class II, Groups E, F & G. This...
