1 General safety notes
■Read the operating instructions before commissioning.
■
Connection, mounting, and configuration may only be performed by trained
specialists.
■
2006/42/EG
NO
SAFETY
Not a safety component in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive.
■
When commissioning, protect the device from moisture and contamination.
■These operating instructions contain information required during the life cycle of
the sensor.
2 Notes on UL approval
The device must be supplied by a Class 2 source of supply.
UL Environmental Rating: Enclosure type 1, 2, 4, 4X, 5, 12
Ambient temperature: 80 °C
3 Intended use
The CQF16 is suited for detecting materials in liquid form through non-metallic con‐
tainer walls or with direct contact to the liquids. The sensor compensates for foam,
moisture and deposits and can therefore be used to detect water-based liquids with a
conductivity of up to 50 mS/cm. (e.g. water, milk, honey, syrup, ink, bodily fluids, acids,
alkali solutions)
Application possibilities include:
- Injection molding machines, e.g. adhesives
- Chemical industry, e.g. water preparation, acid and alkaline solutions, solvents
- Packaging industry, e.g. fill level detection, dairy products
The ability of capacitive proximity sensors to detect materials depends on the object’s
density and electrical properties. The sensing range given for capacitive proximity sen‐
sors relates to a measuring plate of standardized steel (ST37).
If changes are made to the product, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become
void.

6 Electrical installation
The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state (UV = 0 V). The following informa‐
tion must be observed, depending on the connection type:
– Male connector connection: Note pin assignment
– Cable: Wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (UV > 0 V) once all electrical connec‐
tions have been established.
Explanations on connection diagram:
NC = normally closed
NO = normally open

7 Calibration
The sensor can typically be used on plastic tank walls of about 0.5 - 6 mm and glass
walls of about 0.5 - 4 mm without calibration.
If the factory settings (full state taught in at a 2-mm distance to metallic destination)
are not sufficient, the sensor can be taught in using cables.
Calibration in full state
For most applications, calibration with a full tank or pipe is sufficient.
For applications with various types of fluids or large temperature ranges, it can be bene‐
ficial to teach in the sensor with half the sensor surface covered.
Calibration in empty state
For most applications, calibration with an empty tank or pipe is sufficient.
For applications in which deposits, foam residues or moisture are expected, calibration
can be performed with existing residues.

9 Disassembly and disposal
The sensor must be disposed of according to the applicable country-specific regula‐
tions. Efforts should be made during the disposal process to recycle the constituent
materials (particularly precious metals).

10 Maintenance
SICK sensors are maintenance-free.
Contamination can be removed with cleaning agents (Topaz AC3, AC1, MD3, CL1,
Topactive OKTO, P3-hypochloran).
We recommend that you check the threaded assemblies and plug connectors at regular
intervals.
No modifications may be made to devices.
If there is a defect, the sensor must be replaced and the defective sensor protected
from unauthorized use.
