3.0 INSTRUMENT OVERVIEW
The Arjay Model 2852-CAP & 2851-CAP Capacitance Monitor provides a proportional analog
output. The 2852-CAP includes two independent alarm relays for monitoring and control of liquids
or solids in a tank or vessel. The Model 2851-CAP provides a single isolated analog output without
relays. The designations 2852 & 2851 will be used interchangeably throughout this manual with
285X.
The Arjay system has an active capacitance probe that is inserted into the vessel. As the material
level changes around the probe, the capacitance reading of the probe increases or decreases. The
controller % output and relays are calibrated against two user defined dielectrics or product phases.
The remote mounted Arjay 285X controller monitors the capacitance change of the probe and
activates the relay contacts for use with alarms, pumps, valves, etc. The analog output and RS-485
Modbus communication are available for control interface.
The complete 285X-CAP Series system consists of the probe, the PMC card and 2852 controller.
The standard probe is constructed of a Teflon coated probe with stainless steel rod. The probe
length is customer specified for the tank and depth of material to be measured. Probes can be
inserted vertically or angled into the tank. The importance is that the probe must be parallel to the
tank wall when inserted for best linearity. A concentric shielded probe is available as an option to
improve linearity and achieve a parallel ground reference. The PMC card is mounted in a junction
box at the top of the probe. The PMC card translates the capacitance signal from the probe into a
frequency pulse, which can be transmitted up to one kilometer to the 285X controller via 2-wire
shielded cable.
Calibration requires a known change of product in the vessel to provide two calibration points. The
Arjay processor will automatically extrapolate to determine the 0 to 100% span.
The two relays (Model 2852-CAP only) can activate alarm at different setpoints and are entered as
a % value through the keypad and display. Each relay also has a differential setpoint to allow the
relay to activate at one % and de-activate at a different %. This is similar to a latching format which
can cycle a pump or valve between two distinct % values using only one relay.

4.0 INSTALLATION
NOTICE If any damage to the instrument is found, please notify an Arjay
Engineering representative as soon as possible prior to installation.
NOTICE Qualified Personnel must undertake all installations.
WARNING EXPLOSION HAZARD – DO NOT OPEN PROBE JUNCTION BOX
WHEN ENERGIZED.
WARNING DO NOT OPEN WHEN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERE IS PRESENT
WARNING If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
4.1 Remote Mounted Controller Installation
Choose the mounting location in accordance with good instrument practice. Extremes of ambient
temperature and vibration should be avoided (see specifications and installation drawing).
The 285X controller may be mounted up to one kilometer from the PMC card using a minimum 18
gauge, 2-wire SHIELDED cable (Belden 8760 or Equivalent).
Check the polarity of the + and - wiring between the controller and the PMC prior to powering on the
unit; + to + and - to - to avoid damage. Shield of cable should be connected to secondary ground
terminal marked as (at controller side only). Incoming Earth ground should be connected to
primary ground terminal marked on sub plate.
NOTICE
The controller operates in a Failsafe Mode (factory default)
This means that the relays are in an energized state during normal operation.
The N.O. relay contact will be held closed and the N.C. relay contact will be
held open during a normal condition. This will allow the relay to return to its
non-energized (shelf) state during an alarm, fault or power failure condition.
Wire accordingly.
NOTICE Maximum Conduit size for installation size is ¾” FNPT.
NOTICE To ensure proper operation and electrical safety, make sure the 285X
enclosure and the PMC junction box are electrically grounded.
CAUTION
The Internal ground screw provided in this enclosure must be used for
equipment grounding connection.
The External ground screw is provided for use only as a supplemental
connection where required (or, permitted) by local codes or authorities.
