Dist. Output

The environments in which

capacitive sensors are install-

ed can often be un

stable re-

garding temperature, humidity,

object distance and industrial

(noise) interference. Because

of this, Carlo Gavazzi offers as

standard features in all TRIP-

LESHIELD™ capacitive sen-

sors a user-friendly sensitivity

adjustment instead of having

a fixed sensing range, extend-

ed sensing range to accom-

modate mechanically demand-

ing areas, temperature stability

to ensure minimum need for

adjusting sensitivity if tempe-

rature varies and high immu-

nity to electromagnetic inter-

ference (EMI).

Note:

Sensors are factory set

(default) to maximum rated

sensing range.

Installation Hints

Capacitive sensors have the

unique ability to detect al-

most all materials, either in li-

quid or solid form. Capacitive

sensors can detect metallic

as well as non-metallic ob-

jects, however, their traditio-

nal use is for non-metallic

materials such as:

•Plastic Industry

Resins, regrinds or mould-

ed products.

•Chemical Industry

Cleansers, fertilisers, liquid

soaps, corrosives and pe-

trochemicals.

•Wood Industry

Saw dust, paper products,

door and window

frames.

•Ceramic & Glass

Industry

Raw material, clay or

finished products, bottles.

•Packaging Industry

Package inspection for level

or contents, dry goods,

fruits and vegetables, dairy

products.

Materials are detected due to

their dielectric constant. The

bigger the size of an object,

the higher the density of ma-

terial, the better or easier it is

to detect the object. Nominal

sensing distance for a capaci-

tive sensor is referenced to a

grounded metal plate (ST37).

regarding dielectric ratings

of materials please refer to
