CAMLogic PFG06 Series Capacitive Level Gauge

Introduction – CAMLogic PFG06 Series Capacitive Level Gauge

The CAMLogic PFG06 Series Capacitive Level Gauge is a high-performance sensor designed to detect the presence or absence of solid, granular, or powder materials using the principle of capacitance variation. With no moving parts, this reliable instrument ensures long-lasting operation and minimal maintenance. The standard sensitivity allows material detection at approximately 10 mm from the probe, which can be easily adjusted up to 50 mm through an internal trimmer to match specific application requirements.

Built with a reinforced polyamide housing and AISI 304 stainless-steel process connection, the PFG06 Series offers robust durability in industrial environments. The device can be installed vertically, horizontally, or at an angle, ensuring versatility across diverse process configurations. Its IP65 protection rating and wide operating temperature range (–20 °C to +70 °C) make it suitable for use in harsh or dusty conditions.

Certified according to multiple international directives including ATEX, RoHS, EMC, and Food Compliance, the PFG06 series ensures safe and compliant operation in critical industries such as food processing, chemical, and bulk material handling. Available through Dubai Sensor, this series provides a trusted solution for industrial level detection across the UAE and MENA region.

Installation, Commissioning & Maintenance

Installation of the CAMLogic PFG06 Series is simple and requires no special tools. The device can be mounted on the side or top of silos, hoppers, or tanks in vertical, horizontal, or oblique positions. To ensure proper operation, avoid direct impact of falling materials on the probe and allow free material flow around it.

After installation, the sensitivity trimmer can be adjusted to optimize detection for specific materials. Electrical connections must be made following the wiring diagram and certified ATEX cable glands. The PFG06 Series is maintenance-free, as it contains no moving parts. Periodic visual inspection of the cables and earthing is recommended for long-term reliability.
