Robertshaw Model 5318B

image showing 5318b and capacitance probe The Robertshaw Model 5318B Level-Tek is a RF capacitance point (On/Off) level switch, used to detect level changes in liquids and solids. Bare Probes can be used for non-conductive liquids while the TFE coated probes can be used for conductive liquids and powders. The Model 5318B is capable of detecting the level in a wide variety of products, including liquids, powders, granular, lump and flake materials in tanks, sumps, silos and in cooling tower applications.

All the models have a DPDT relay, fixed & adjustable differential and adjustable time delays and are in explosion proof, weather tight enclosures. Capacitance Probes are ordered separately depending on the application. In most cases the existing probes will work with the 5318B.

NOTES

The remote mount cable is not UL/c-UL certified. Use of the remote mount cable with the 5318B voids the UL/c-UL certification/explosion proof rating of the instrument.
Maximum length on any cable is 15 feet.
Cable/probe conduit outlet box must be used with remote mounted 5318B Level-Tek
Length pricing per foot or any portion thereof.
