Product catalog summary
Safety Notes and Technical Support
Installation, maintenance, and commissioning of the CN 4000 series should be performed by qualified personnel. The manual outlines safety symbols indicating potential risks such as electric shock or material damage. For technical support, contact UWT GmbH or your local supplier.
Introduction
The CN 4000 series is a capacitive level limit switch used for monitoring levels in containers and silos across various industries. It detects capacitance around its probe and is insensitive to material buildup, allowing for factory precalibration.
Technical Data
Electrical Data: The device supports various connection types and power supplies, with adjustable signal delays and sensitivity, including safety operations and overvoltage protection.
Mechanical Data: The housing is available in plastics or aluminium, designed for IP66 protection, and can handle specific mechanical torques and pressures.
Environmental Conditions: Suitable for a range of temperatures and humidity, with specific storage and transport conditions.
Approvals
The CN 4000 series complies with international standards for general and hazardous locations, including ATEX, UKEX, IEC-Ex, and is RoHS compliant.
Options and Accessories
Accessories include weather-protection covers, hexagon nuts, sliding sleeves, signal lamps, and various plugs and adapters to enhance functionality and adaptability.
Mounting
Proper installation is crucial for maintaining process pressure and chemical resistance. The mounting torque should not exceed specified limits, and the device should be sealed properly to prevent leaks.
Mounting Instructions
The manual outlines various mounting positions for full, demand, or empty detectors, emphasizing slight incline mounting to facilitate material flow.
Electrical Installation
Key points include protective earthing, adherence to local installation regulations, and the use of appropriate fuses and RCCB protection.
Safety Instructions
Grounding is essential to prevent static charging, with guidelines for external equipotential bonding and additional safety instructions for hazardous locations.
Settings and Signal Output
The manual details factory settings for sensitivity and signal output logic, with options for adjustment based on application needs.
Maintenance
Instructions for changing the electronic board and guidelines for frequent checks and cleaning are provided to ensure safety and functionality.
Hazardous Locations
Notes on zone classification and marking for devices with Ex approval are included, with guidelines for installation to avoid electrostatic charges.
Specifications
  • Equipment Protection Levels (EPL): Suitable for Zone 21 (EPL Db, Category 2D) and Zone 20 (EPL Da, Category 1D).
  • Temperature Ratings: Maximum surface temperature is determined by the hottest temperature during malfunction.
  • Ambient and Process Temperatures: Maximum ambient temperature is 60°C (140°F), with process temperatures ranging from 120°C (248°F) to 180°C (356°F) depending on the version.
Procedures
  • Temperature Marking: Refers to the instruction manual for detailed ratings.
  • Derating: Users must observe derating as specified in the manual.
Disposal
The product is made from recyclable materials, and recycling should be conducted by a specialized company.
Notes for Use in Hazardous Locations
Ensure compliance with specified temperature limits to maintain safety and functionality in hazardous environments.

Level limit switch Series CN 4000 Technical Information / Instruction manual Capacitive level limit switch for level monitoring in all types of containers and silos. The Capanivo detects the capacitance around its probe. Due to the active shield technology it has an increased insensitivity to material buildup on the probe. It can be used with powdery and granulated bulk materials with a dielectric constant of min. 1.6 The measurement is nearly independent from the influence of the silo wall. Therefore factory provided precalibration allows measurement of most applications without calibration...
