2 Safety instructions

●Please read the product description prior to set-up of the unit� Ensure that the

product is suitable for your application without any restrictions�

●If the operating instructions or the technical data are not adhered to, personal

injury and/or damage to property can occur�

●Installation, electrical connection, set-up, operation and maintenance of the

unit must only be carried out by qualified personnel authorised by the machine

operator�

●The unit complies with the standard EN 61000-6-4� The unit may cause radio

interference in domestic areas� If interference occurs, the user must take ap-

propriate remedial actions�

3 Functions and features

The unit monitors collection chambers, basins or systems as well as inspection

chambers and feeder chutes for the leakage of liquids�

3.1 Applications

●Water, hydrous media, oils, coolant emulsions�

3.2 Restriction of the application area

●The unit is not suitable for acids, alkalis, granulates, bulk materials�

●It is not suitable for hygienic areas�

●Highly conductive foam can trigger a switching operation� Check the conse-

quences by performing a test in your application!

●Maximum tank pressure: ± 0�5 bar (when mounted using the appropriate

mounting accessories; → 5.2 Installation procedure).

4 Function

4.1 Measuring principle

The unit operates to the capacitive measuring principle� By direct contact with

the medium the unit detects whether leakage is detected and indicates this by a

switched signal�

Leakage detected output open (OFF)

No leakage detected output closed (ON)

The dielectric constant of a medium is important for its detection� Media with a

dielectric constant > 1�8 are safely detected�

Dielectric constants of common liquids

Mineral oil ≈ 2

Coolant emulsion ≈ 25...75

Glycol ≈ 37

Water ≈ 80

Water, demineralised ≈ 30

Electrically conductive and non conductive media are detected�

The unit operates with radial detec-

tion characteristics� Media are only

detected when the active zone (A) is

covered�



4.2 Features of the unit

●Automatic adjustment function to the medium to be detected by programming

buttons (→ 8 Settings). This allows reliable detection of media with a low di-

electric constant (e�g� oil)�

● Response level selectable by the installation length (→ 5.3).

●The unit is virtually immune to almost any kind of build-up on the probe� The

position of the switching level within the active zone can however change with

build-up�

●Operating and switching status indication via LED ring�

5 Installation

5.1 Installation location / environment

● Installation of the unit: vertical from the top (→ 5.3).

●The following minimum distances must be adhered to:

– Distance tank bottom - end of the probe: 5 mm�

– Distance metal tank wall - probe: 20 mm�

5.2 Mounting

The unit is mounted using a mounting clamp or an adapter� The following standard

mounting accessories are available:

Order no� Material

E43000 mounting clamp (for non-pressurised tanks)

E43001 flange plate 73-90 with clamp adapter (pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43002 welding adapter with clamp adapter (pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43003 mounting adapter G¾ with clamp adapter (stainless steel, pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43004 mounting adapter G1 with clamp adapter (stainless steel, pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43005 flange plate 100-125 with clamp adapter (aluminium, pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43006 flange plate 65-80 with clamp adapter (aluminium, pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43007 flange plate 54 - 52x52 with clamp adapter (aluminium, pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

E43016 mounting clamp with mounting bracket (for non-pressurised tanks)

E43019 mounting adapter G¾ with clamp adapter (brass, pressure rating of 0�5 bar)

Further accessories on request�

5.3 Set the installation depth

A = response level

H = tank height

L = probe length

L1 = installation depth

L2 = extension length

L3 = mounting length (min�: 60 mm)

M = height mounting adapter

MET = max� immersion depth

(Active zone) = 31 mm

S = height of the boss

►Select the installation length L1 so that at least half the MET zone is covered

when the response level A has been reached, that is:

L1 = (H - A) + ½ MET + S�

The unit switches when the level reaches the MET zone� The exact position

(exact response level) depends on the following factors:

●characteristics of the medium�

●Installation conditions�

● adjustment of the unit (→ 8 Settings).

6 Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician�

The national and international regulations for the installation of electrical

equipment must be adhered to�

Voltage supply to EN 50178, SELV, PELV�

►Disconnect power�

►Connect the unit as follows:

L+

Pin1 = L+

Pin4 = switching output/ NC

Pin3 = L-

core colours of ifm sockets: 1 = BN (brown), 3 = BU (blue), 4 = BK (black)

7 Operating and display elements







1: LED ring green / yellow

●green: leakage detected / output open (OFF)

●yellow: no leakage detected / output closed (ON)

2: programming button OUT OFF

3: programming button OUT ON

8 Settings

Before the first set-up the empty adjustment must be carried out�

8.1 Set to the empty vessel

This adjusts the unit to both the empty collection basin and the installation condi-

tions (e�g� the set installation length)� Previous settings are deleted�

►Ensure that the collection basin / vessel is empty�

►Press the programming button (OUT ON) for at least 2 s�

> The yellow LED flashes slowly (approx� 1 Hz) (= unit is in

the adjustment mode)�

> After the adjustment process the yellow LED is lit con-

tinuously (= unit is in the operating mode, sensor zone

not covered)�

8.2 Set to the full vessel

The empty adjustment is sufficient for media with a low dielectric constant (e�g�

oils)� For aqueous media the sensitivity must be optimised by a full adjustment�

The full adjustment does not change the settings of the empty adjustment�

►Fill the collection basin until the active zone of the unit is covered�

►Press the programming button (OUT OFF), keep it

pressed for at least 6 s�

> The yellow LED flashes, after 6 s rapidly (approx� 2 Hz),

(= device is in the adjustment mode)�

> After adjustment the green LED is lit continuously (= unit

is in the operating mode, sensor zone covered)�

8.3 Lock / unlock the unit

The unit can be locked electronically to prevent unintentional settings�

Locking

►Press both setting buttons simultaneously for 10 s in the operating mode�

> The LED flashes green�

> After the time (> 10 s) has elapsed, the colour of the LED changes from green

to yellow (flashing) and the unit is locked�

Unlocking

►Press both setting buttons simultaneously for 10 s in the operating mode�

> The LED continues to indicate the current operating status (no reaction of the

LED)�

> After the time (> 10 s) has elapsed, the LED flashes green and the unit is

unlocked�

On delivery: unlocked�

9 Operation

When the supply voltage has been applied, the unit is in the operating mode� It

carries out its measurement and evaluation functions and switches the output�

Operation indication by LED:

LED status / function

green unit ready for operation, sensor zone covered (output open (OFF))

yellow unit ready for operation, sensor zone not covered (output closed (ON))

10 Maintenance, repair, disposal

Recommended maintenance:

►Check the probe for build-up from time to time, clean it in case of strong soiling�

After removal of the unit or a change of media with dielectric constants that

differ greatly (e�g� oil / water) another adjustment has to be carried out�

It is not possible to repair the unit�

After use dispose of the unit in an environmentally friendly way in accordance with

the applicable national regulations�
