The CAP-100 series offers a unique level sensing solution for a wide variety of bottle
types including plastic, glass and fiberglass. The non-contact sensor is ideally suited
for medical applications such as waste, reagent or diluent liquids as well as dark,
sticky or viscous fluids. The easy-to-calibrate sensor is available in both aqueous and
non-aqueous versions and can be delivered with factory preset sensitivity for quick
installation for OEM orders. The CAP-100 may also be used as a proximity sensor to
detect the presence of solids such as paper or pulp.
