Cap Analog 410

Overview

Cap Analog 410

For process engineers, plant operators, and instrumentation specialists seeking a continuous, reliable, and cost-effective level transmitter for liquids, slurries, or bulk solids in chemical, food, or wastewater plants, the Cap-Analog 410 delivers proven RF capacitance performance in a rugged, explosion-proof design.

Unlike conventional transmitters that drift, foul, or lose accuracy over time, the Cap Analog 410 integrates shielded amplifier circuitry, coating-rejection electronics, and independent zero/span calibration—ensuring stable analog output and long-term dependability in demanding environments.

With analog (4–20 mA or 0–10 V DC) output, universal power supply, and probe options up to 250 ft (76 m), the Cap Analog 410 is ideal for storage tanks, process vessels, silos, and sumps, offering maintenance-free measurement across a wide dielectric range—from light hydrocarbons to conductive slurries.

FAQs

We have tried to answer the most common questions we are asked here.

It uses RF capacitance technology to convert dielectric changes between a probe and reference ground into a continuous analog signal.
Yes. Its cast-aluminum, explosion-proof housing meets NEMA and CSA/NEC Class I Div 1 and Class II Div 2 standards.
Independent zero and span adjustments allow quick, precise field calibration without interaction or drift.
Yes. The built-in coating rejection circuit maintains accuracy even with buildup on the probe.

The Cap-Analog 410 uses a specialized shielded amplifier and coating rejection circuit. This advanced design is able to differentiate between the capacitance of the actual product level and the capacitance caused by buildup (up to 1,000 µmho conductivity coating) on the probe, ensuring the reported level remains stable and accurate.

It supports 115 VAC, 230 VAC, or 24 V DC inputs, making it universally compatible with plant standards.

Teflon®, Kynar®, and stainless-steel probes are available for chemical, food-grade, or high-temperature service.

Yes. The device features a wide dielectric range of 10 – 10,000 pF, making it highly versatile. It can accurately measure light, non-conductive hydrocarbons (low dielectric) as well as conductive liquids, slurries, and water-based solutions (high dielectric).

Independent Zero and Span adjustments allow field technicians to precisely set the minimum (Zero) and maximum (Span) output signals without one adjustment affecting the other. This significantly simplifies the calibration process, especially when commissioning in the field, reducing errors and saving time.
