The capacitive liquid level sensor consists of two main components: the sensor probe and transmitter. The structure varies based on application requirements.
A: Sensor probe that extends into the container or measuring tube
B & C: Gas phase and liquid phase connection flanges for equipment interface
D: Measuring cylinder that forms capacitance with the sensor electrode
E: Drain flange for periodic cleaning to maintain measurement accuracy
F: Transmitter that converts capacitance changes to 4-20mADC standard signal
The KSLV606 display model supports two wiring methods:
RS485 Connection:
4-20mA Connection:
Installation Note: Always open the gas phase valve first, followed by the liquid phase valve to prevent measurement errors from liquid level fluctuations. Ensure cable connections are secure and corrosion-resistant. Regular maintenance includes periodic draining (1-2 times weekly for dirty media, monthly for cleaner media).
Common transmitter wiring methods:
Standard Installation:
Connect the gas-liquid phase flanges to equipment flanges with gaskets and bolts. Ensure outlet pipes are clean and sealing surfaces intact before installation.
Note: Add valves between instrument and equipment flanges for easier maintenance.
Boiler-Specific Installation:
Special heat-dissipating structure protects transmitter from high temperatures. Ensure correct orientation with transmitter positioned below.
- Prepare transparent pipe with scale, precision ammeter, rubber stoppers, and test medium
- Connect pipe to liquid phase port, block drain, keep gas phase open, and connect ammeter
- Add medium at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% levels, comparing ammeter readings to expected 4mA, 8mA, 12mA, 16mA, and 20mA outputs
Display shows zero: Check 24V power supply, transmitter for shorts or quality issues
Current below 4mA: Verify liquid level position, transmitter adjustment, or potential defects
Current exceeds 25mA: Check for transmitter circuit shorts or excessive current adjustment
Display fluctuations: Examine actual liquid level stability, connection quality, or transmitter issues
No display change: Test transmitter functionality and check for pipe blockages or connection breaks
Slow response: Clean sensor from impurities or check for partial gas phase blockage
Measurement Tip: Always test 24V power supply by connecting voltmeter to power line terminals.
