• The images shown in this manual may differ from the actual instrument / housing in terms of dimensions, color and design. Please refer
to GA drawings for dimensional details.
• Values (of performance) described in this manual were obtained under ideal testing conditions. Hence, they may differ under industrial
environment and settings.
General Instructions
• Instrument shouldn’t block the material filling inlet.
• Secure the cover of housing tightly. Tighten the cable glands. For side mounting, the cable glands should point downwards.
• For side mounting, provide a baffle to prevent the material from falling on the probe.
• When handling forks, do not lift them using their tines. While using them with solids, ensure that material size is less than 10mm.
• Deforming the shape of the tines may interfere with the fork’s operating frequency.
• Make all electrical connections as instructed in the manual. Don’t power on the device before verifying the connections.

1 Introduction
Sapcon MPILC series instruments are RISC Processor
based Capacitance type Continuous Level Indicators with
built-in Three Point Switching.The instrument is suitable
for measuring the level of conductive or non conductive
liquids, slurries and powdered or fine grained solids homo-
geneous composition having a stable dielectric constant.
Apart from level indication, the built-in three point elec-
tronic level limit switch offers the switching functions for
alarm annunciation and/or control application at the set
point levels.The set points are independent of each other
and are continuously configurable over the entire range.

• Two wire Pulse Coded Digital Communication from

Sensor to Evaluation unit. Supporting as much as
1 KM distance between Sensor and Evaluation Unit
with shielded two core cables.
• Three Independent Potential Free relays provid-

ing flexibility of selecting three independent switch
points.
• Galvanically Isolated True Two Wire 4-20 mA Pro-
portional to 0% and 100% level is available for re-
mote indication purposes.
• Two wire implementation solves the malfunction
problems that occurs with various PLC 4-20 input
interfaces and thus better suits for higher end au-

tomation.
• 4-20 mA Loop can handle 700 Ohm Loop Resistance

2 Operating Principle with Internal Isolated Supply.The loop resistance can
be 1K Ohm for External DC Supply of 24 Volts.
In an application, the measuring electrode (sense
probe) and the container wall (ground or reference
probe) form a capacitor. The amount of capacitance of
this capacitor is governed by the dielectric constant of
the material between the two electrodes (sense probe
metallic container wall or reference probe or ground).
The value of this capacitor is dependent on the level

of material, since the dielectric of the material is ef-
fective only to the level to which the material is filled.
MPILC measures the change of capacitance to measure
the change of level of the material. Since this is a rel-
ative measurement, a proper calibration is thus always
necessary.
3 Features
• Latest RISC Core Micro-controller Technology.
• Measured Level is Displayed Continuously from -
50% to 150%.
• Multipurpose 5 digit Seven Segment LED Display for
best resolution and better viewing from distance.

This message will appear for 1 second if sensor is alright.
Sensor is found and MPILC is communicating with sensor.

Process Value (Level) is shown in % depending on the calibration.

In this example of display it is showing 18%.

Sensor is not connected properly.
Sensor is faulty.

How To Configure Relay Outputs:

Application Example: Suppose that it is required in an application to keep a tank filled
between the two levels 80% and 15%. And two signals are
required when level is above 60% indicating sufficient material
and when the level falls below 30% indicating reserve material.
Using MPILC this application can be implemented as:-
N/C contact of Relay 1 will operate the fill tank

valve as long as Level is not filled to 80%
from 15%.
1. Keep level between 80% and 15%.
100% Level Take Relay#1.

Configure it for Pump Control Switching.
