CLH5

The CLH5 float, level sensor is a reliable and efficient solution for process and industrial level measurement applications. This technology is equipped with a remote sensing head that can be mounted up to 15m away from the converter, and the dedicated electronics module installs directly onto the process interface. The unit has been designed based on the principles of open-top, mitered, prism electrodes to measure the level of liquid in open or closed tanks. The possible applications of the CLH5 include level measurement in process tanks, reservoirs and mines, as well as applications in industrial pumps and valves.

The CLH5 has a tilted champagne-type electrode design, with two electrodes on each side. This design provides better performance without any additional problems in terms of pressure loss or wear. Whereas most static level measurement technologies require a physical contact between the electrode and the measured liquid, the CLH5 allows for a free gas gap between the electrode and the fluid, eliminating the need for maintenance or any form of physical contact.

The technology employed by the CLH5 float, level sensor provides a number of advantages over traditional technologies. The unit is able to measure levels with accuracy up to 0.1mm, ensuring a precise level measurement even in aggressive and difficult conditions. Furthermore, the CLH5 is extremely reliable and long-lasting, thanks to its onboard power supply, which can hold up to 5 years with regular calibrations and servicing. Additionally, the unit is maintenance-free and requires minimal upkeep, resulting in significantly lower operation and maintenance costs.

At the heart of the CLH5 float, level sensor is an integrated electronic system, which uses the same proven technology found in the CLH family of products. The unit contains two specially designed prisms that transmit and receive signals with the help of electromagnetic (EM) radiation. As the level of liquid alters within the tank, the prism deflection is translated into an adjustable signal output which is converted to a current output. This current output can be used to adjust the level in the tank or to configure a relay-command.

The CLH5 also features a number of additional features, such as integrated lightning and surge protection. This means that the unit is able to withstand even the harshest of environment conditions without any performance attrition. Furthermore, the system operates at low-voltage levels and is dependent on a low-voltage power supply (24v or less). This allows for simple and economic installations, without the need of additional shielding or isolations. Additionally, the onboard circuitry employs an anti-humidity technology, which allows for a seamless performance and enables the CLH5 to be used in wet and dusty environments.

In conclusion, the CLH5 float, level sensor is an ideal choice for applications and processes where accurate, reliable and cost effective measurement is required. The unit is equipped with a robust electronics module and an adjustable prisms which ensures precision and efficiency. Furthermore, the CLH5’s minimal upkeep and low energy consumption results in lower operational and maintenance costs, whilst its open-top, tilted electrode design ensures a free gas gap between the electrode and the fluid, eliminating any need for wear.
