Abstract

A multiple set point material condition monitoring system (10) responds both to the level of material with respect to a sensor and the extent of material coating which has accumulated on the sensor. The system (10) provides an output when a predetermined coating thickness has been exceeded, so that the sensor may be cleaned before the coating can accumulate to the extent where a false level output is generated. The system (10) includes three electrode guarded sensors (32, 36, 40), a bridge (72) comparing the sensor output with a reference, and a bridge reference (78) which is automatically and repeatedly caused to assume a sequence of values corresponding to material condition set points, one of which causes an output when a predetermined coating thickness has occurred and another of which generates a level output. In one enbodiment, separate outputs are provided corresponding to each set point. In another embodiment, a single tri-state output is responsive to both set points.
