Because of this, Carlo Gavazzi offers as standard features in all TRIPLESHIELDTM capacitive sensors a user-friendly sensitivity adjustment instead of having a fixed sensing range, extended sensing range to accom- modate mechanically demanding areas, temperature stability to ensure minimum need for adjusting sensitivity if temperature varies and high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI).

Capacitive sensors can detect metallic as well as non-metallic objects, however, their traditional use is for non-metallic materials such as: * Plastic Industry Resins, regrinds or moulded products. * Chemical Industry Cleansers, fertilisers, liquid soaps, corrosives and petrochemicals. * Wood Industry Saw dust, paper products, door and window frames. * Ceramic & Glass Industry Raw material, clay or finished products, bottles. Wiring Diagram tive sensor is referenced to a grounded metal plate (ST37). For additional information regarding dielectric ratings of materials please refer to Technical Information. Materials are detected due to their dielectric constant. The bigger the size of an object, the higher the density of material, the better or easier it is to detect the object.
