IV. Temperature and Harsh Working Conditions 41–50

41. Can capacitive level switches be used at high temperatures?

Yes, with a suitable high-temperature probe and remote electronics configuration.


42. Why is remote mounting useful at high temperature?

It allows the electronic unit to be positioned farther away from the hot process connection.

43. Can the probe withstand 200°C?

A properly selected high-temperature configuration can be designed for such applications. The actual maximum temperature must be confirmed for the selected model.


44. Can capacitive level switches be used at 300°C?

High-temperature versions may be available depending on the probe construction, seal materials, and process conditions.


45. Can they be used above 500°C?

Special high-temperature probe designs may be possible, but the complete sensor configuration must be evaluated based on temperature, pressure, medium, and installation.


46. Can they be used in outdoor installations?

Yes, when the enclosure, cable glands, electrical connections, and environmental protection rating are suitable.

47. Can they work in dusty environments?

Yes, provided the enclosure and certification meet the requirements of the installation.


48. Can they be used in vibrating equipment?

The electronic sensing principle has no moving mechanical switch mechanism, but installation and cable routing should still account for vibration.

49. Can they be used in corrosive environments?

Yes, with appropriate probe, process connection, seal, and enclosure materials.


50. Can the electronics be protected from aggressive process conditions?

Yes. Remote installation is specifically useful when the electronic housing should be separated from harsh process conditions.
