Level detection with capacitive sensors

Non-contact level detection, even if the inside walls of the tank are covered in microfilm or residue: Thanks to its innovative, intelligent measuring principle, the new PL240 capacitive sensor reliably detects fill levels even under challenging conditions.

The benefits of PL240 capacitive sensors in point level detection:

• Reliable detection even in media with formation of foam and adhesion at the container wall
• Non-contact detection through plastic or glass tank walls from 0.5 to 6 mm

The benefits of flat capacitive sensors CFDK 25 in point level or object detection:

• Varied mounting options
• Space-saving installation
• Snap-in /Snap-out, no tool required

• Detection through container walls
• Compensation of foam, film or residues
• Application-specific teaching

• Level detection in direct contact with the liquid
• Dirt and drop retention is suppressed by the sensor
• Easy and safe functional principle
  

• Fast and easy sensor installation outside of tanks
• Long service life thanks to robust housing
• Several self-definable monitoring areas thanks to easy cascading

• Detection through packaging
• Quality control of closed packaging at the end of the process possible
• Color-independent detection increases process safety
  

Capacitive level measurement utilizes the aid of an electric field and can be performed both non-contact from the outside and with media contact. On our know-how page you will find further information on capacitive level measurement.
