Capacitive sensor is so easy to set

• Unique display and handling concept with LED visualisation
• See and compensate switch point movement
• IP 69K gives high ingress resistance
• PNP/ NPN, NO/ NC, timer function
• For medium temperatures up to 110 °C

Visualised switch point

The new capacitive sensors stand out not only because of their excellent technical data but most of all with their new and unique visualisation concept. Using a 12-LED bar display the user can always adapt the switch point to suit the application conditions – it is always in the centre of the display. The green LEDs either side of the switch point indicate the reliability of the switch point. Deposits, material changes etc. are directly displayed on the sensor and the user can readjust perfectly the switch point as needed. An imminent error can be detected in good time and avoided thus minimising the risk of failures or deactivation.

Diagnostic support

If help is needed with the effects of process changes this is much easier to explain and rectify with the clear switch-point visualisation.
