was started in 1976 to offer new and innovative electronic designs in tank gauging. L&J s new products always used the latest electronics and therefore the company quickly grew. Ten years later L&J bought GPE. Along with GPE, L&J bought, a GPE affiliate that manufactures fittings and valves for the same type of tanks that used the gauging equipment. A short time later, all 3 companies were reorganized under one corporate entity called. In 1994, a brand new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility was built to bring all of the L&J Technologies manufacturing efforts under one roof. In 1996, L&J bought, a manufacturer of liquid level controls and Hi/Low level switches for the boiler, process, and liquid storage industries. On February 28, 2000, L&J purchased Durlam Associates, (now Durlam Inc.). is located in Houston, Texas and is the leading manufacturer of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) Derakane 470 conservation vents and fittings. On March 31, 2000, L&J purchased Delavan Process Instrumentation in Naugatuck, CT. is a well-established name in ultrasonic, capacitance and microwave point level and continuous level measurement for liquids and solids. Delavan was relocated to L&J Technologies corporate headquarters in Hillside, Illinois. Today, the L&J family of companies is the world s largest manufacturer specializing in the monitoring, management, and control of bulk liquids. L&J provides quality products for the Petroleum, Petrochemical, Chemical, Food, Pharmaceutical, Pipeline, Steel, Water Treatment and Biogas ( ) Industries.

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Description The CAP-ANALOG/410 system consists of an electronic transmitter mounted in a Cast Aluminum Explosion Proof Housing. This housing normally is integrally mounted on the rear of the sensor probe. Probes are manufactured in a variety of insulating materials and metals. The active length of the probe will vary subject to the specific application of that system. The probe usually is mounted in a vertical position. Normally the probe is threaded into the process with a ¾ or 1" NPT connection. 1.2 Principle of Operation The CAP-ANALOG/410 along with its probe sensor operates as a capacitance sensitive system that converts changes in level to changes in capacitance. After calibration any change in level is recognized and converted to an analog output signal (4-20 ma or 0-10 VDC). The CAP-ANALOG.410 is supplied with two 20 turn, ZERO and SPAN adjust potentiometers. These controls are independent and non-interacting. In addition, two DIP Switches are provided to extend the range of the ZERO and SPAN potentiometers. 1.3 Specifications Supply Voltage: Nominal Absolute Limits 115 VAC 95-135 VAC or 230 VAC 190-270 VAC or 15-24 VDC Frequency, AC Power 50-60Hz 45 Hz Min.

Remove the contents of the shipping carton and check each item against the packing list before destroying any packing material. 2.2 Mechanical Installation Depending on the size and type of probe selected for use with this device, it may be preferable to mount the transmitter before installing the probe in the process vessel. 2.2.1 Unscrew and remove the Dome Cover 2.2.2 Loosen the two captive flat head screws that secure the mounting bracket to the enclosure. 2.2.3 Remove the control unit from the enclosure. 2.2.4 Apply anti-seize type pipe sealant to the upper thread of the probe. 2.2.5 Thread the probe into the enclosure by hand. 2.2.6 To AVOID damage, screw a two-foot length of 1" threaded pipe to the side hub of the enclosure to grip while making up this connection. IMPORTANT: FOR HAZARDOUS AREA SERVICE, THE THREAD ENGAGEMENT OF THE PROBE MUST BE A MINIMUM OF FIVE (5) FULL THREADS. CONFIRM THE ENGAGEMENT IS ADEQUATE. 2.2.7 Insert the RED Banana Plug from the transmitter into the FEMALE Connection on the top of the probe. 2.2.8 Replace the transmitter in the enclosure and tighten the two (2) captive screws. 2.3 Non-Metallic Tanks When a non-metallic tank is used, a ground return should be installed to provide greater stability. This may be a metal rod installed in the tank or a ground strap fastened to the exterior of the tank. This ground should be fastened to the same earth ground as the instrument. 4

3.2 Controls The location of the adjustable controls are shown in Fig. #1. Their description and function are as follows: 3.2.1 ZERO Adjustment This 20-turn potentiometer matches the ZERO point of the instrument to the desired process ZERO level. 3.2.2 SPAN Adjustment This 20-turn potentiometer matches the Full Scale SPAN (upper limit) to the desired upper limit of the process level. 3.2.3 RANGE Switches ZERO Range - Switch (2) This switch matches the instrument to the specific process. 3.4.1.2 Rotate SPAN and ZERO potentiometers fully counter-clockwise 20 turns. 3.4.1.3 Adjust SPAN Adjust potentiometer to near center position. Adjust ZERO potentiometer 4 full turns clockwise. 3.4.1.4 Connect a voltmeter capable of reading 10 volts DC to terminals 8 and 10. Negative to 8 and Positive to 10. NOTE: (If current meter is to be used, connect as shown on page (6) sketch 1 or 2 as applicable). 3.4.1.5 Turn power ON. 3.4.1.6 If reading is greater than 5 volts (greater than 12mA), set ZERO Switch "S2" to its OPEN position. When reading is less than 5 volts (less than 12 ma) leave S2 in closed position. Adjust ZERO potentiometer until voltmeter reads about one volt, then CCW until it just reads zero volts (4mA). Be careful not to have a NEGATIVE reading. Range Dip Switch Position Low Closed High Open Span Range - Switch (1) Range Dip Switch Position Low Closed High Open 3.4.1.7 Raise the level to the desired highest level. 3.4.1.8 Set SPAN Switch "SW #1" to its OPEN position. If reading is less than 5 volts (less than 12mA) return SW #1 to its CLOSED position. If reading is greater than 5 volts (more than 12mA), leave SW #1 in the OPEN position. 3.4.1.9 Adjust the SPAN Adjust potentiometer clockwise or counter-clockwise as required until voltage reading is 10 volts or current is 20 ma. 3.3 Indicators 3.3.1 The CAP-ANALOG/410 without a voltmeter or current meter is a "BLIND" device. An analog or digital indicator may be connected as shown in section 2.4. 3.4 Adjustment Proceduress INFORMATION COMMON TO ALL CONITIONS -Zero Adjust and SPAN Adjust are 20 turn potentiometers with slip clutches at both ends. 3.4.1 Process material must be a minimum of 1" up from probe tip for proper zero setting. 3.4.1.1 Set SPAN Switch "SW #1" and ZERO Switch "SW #2" to CLOSED position.
