Capacitive sensors for point level detection

Capacitive sensors detect bulk materials or liquids through non-metal tank walls or on bypasses. They are used to detect the minimum level, leakage or overflow of tanks. Typical applications are found in the wood, paper, glass, plastic, food, chemical and semiconductor industries. Parameter setting is effected via the buttons on the sensor. The sensor can also be configured via IO-Link, e.g. using a USB interface. The LINERECORDER SENSOR software is used to visualise, transfer and archive parameter sets. Variants with automatic load detection simplify configuration and set-up with different evaluation systems.

• Reliable level detection through non-metallic vessel walls
• Easy adjustment in the application via pushbutton or IO-Link
• Versions with automatic detection of PNP or NPN output loads
• Normally closed and normally open outputs available
• Clearly visible indication of the switching status
