Safety instructions
This instrument is constructed and tested according to the current EUdirectives and packed in technically safe condition. In order to maintain
this condition and to ensure safe operation, the user must follow the
instructions and warnings given in this instruction.
During the installation local standards have to be observed. Ignoring
the warnings may lead to severe personal injury or substantial damage
to property.
The product must be operated by trained staff. Correct and safe
operation of this equipment is dependent on proper transport, storage,
installation and operation.
All electrical wiring must conform to local standards and the connection must be made according to the connecting diagrams.
Before switching on the power supply take care that other equipment
is not affected. Ensure that the supply voltage and the conditions in the
environment comply with the specification of the device.
Before switching off the supply voltage check the possible effects on
other equipment and the processing system.
To obtain the specified protection degree, the LBFS must be mounted
with a compliant cable.
WARNING
This product contains no replaceable parts.
In case of malfunction the product must be shipped to Baumer for
repair.
Description
The Level Switch LBFS designed to detect levels in tanks, media
separation and provide empty-pipe detection or dry-run protection for
pumps.
A high frequency sweep signal is radiated from the sensor tip into the
tank. The media will act as a virtual capacitor, which together with a
coil in the sensor head, will form a circuit creating the switch point
signal. This virtual capacitance will depend of the di-electric value of
the media.
Two output signals are available, Normally Open (NO) and Normally
Closed (NC). By means of the FlexProgrammer 9701, a damping of
the output signal can be activated in case of a fluctuating media level,
e.g. during tank filling. Additionally the output signals NO and NC can
be reversed.

Design and specifications subject to change without notice
The Level Switch LBFS measures liquids such as water and oil.Even
dry medias can be measured, eg. coal dust or plastic granulate.
Level Switch LBFS can be delivered with PNP output as well as NPN
output.
The process connection can easily be sealed by use of Teflon Tape or
by use of special welding adapter for the hygienic edition.
Measuring principle
The frequency sweep technology
The capacity (C) of the media is directly proportional to the
dielectric value of the media
A frequency between 100 and 180MHz is swept into the media
When the coil (L) and the capacitor (C) reach a resonance
frequency, it will be detected by the electrical circuit
Mounting
The thread must be sealed e.g. by Teflon tape and tightened into the counterpart.
Recommended tighten max. 25...30 Nm
