Overview: The document details TrueCap® RF capacitance point level sensors, models MK-2 and MK-2e, designed for monitoring levels in bulk solids, liquids, and slurries. These sensors are noted for their high sensitivity, reliability, and stability, featuring automatic material build-up immunity and a universal power supply.

Specifications: The sensors have a sensitivity of 0.5pF, suitable for hazardous locations, and can operate in temperatures up to 450°F (232°C). They offer split-architecture for remote electronics mounting.

Principle of Operation: The sensors use radio frequency applied to the probe to detect capacitance changes due to material contact. A driven shield design prevents false readings from material build-up.

Applications: TrueCap sensors are versatile for use in bins, silos, tanks, hoppers, and other vessels with materials like chemicals, plastics, grains, liquids, and slurries.

Model Selection: Selection is based on calibration ease, location, temperature variations, and material characteristics. The MK-2 model offers push-button and remote calibration, while the MK-2e is more economical with manual calibration.

Features and Options: Both models include build-up immunity, high-intensity LED indicators, and hazardous location approvals. Options include various probe types, mounting plates, and extensions.

Accessories: Available accessories include remote calibration modules, mounting plates, and probe extensions to enhance sensor functionality.

Ordering Information: Detailed ordering information is provided for MK-2 and MK-2e configurations, including operating voltage, probe connection, and approvals.

Warranty Information: Monitor Technologies LLC offers a two-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
