At Milltronics, we endeavour
to design equipment that is
simple to use and reliable in its
operation, with the aim of
satisfying our customers' needs.
Milltronics has been designing
and manufacturing electronics
based process measurement
equipment since 1954. Our
fields of expertise include
continuous and point level
measurement, weighing and
feeding systems and motion
sensing. Technologies include
ultrasonic, capacitance and
microwave radar.
Milltronics sells and markets
world wide through
subsidiaries, distributors and
representatives. Through
continuous improvement, we
are striving to provide our
customers with first rate sales
information, engineering
assistance and after sales
support.

About Pointek CLS 300
Note:
Pointek CLS 300 is to be used only in the manner outlined in this
instruction manual.
The Pointek CLS 300 capacitance level switch provides output on high or
low process material levels. When the measured material is at the desired
level, the change in capacitance is sensed and a level alarm is triggered.
This could be either a “high level alarm”(material rising to reach the desired
level) or a “low level alarm”(material falling to reach desired level).
Pointek CLS 300 Outputs
One form `C' (SPDT) relay
One isolated, non-polarized, solid-state switch
