General description
The capacitive sensors, our abbreviation KAS, generate a capacitive field within the area of the active
surface. All media, liquid, pastes, bulk material or solids, with a dielectric constant e
and indicated as a switching signal, so that the level or the desired detection task can be controlled via
the connected PLC or control system.
Electronic circuits, PLCs, relays or contactors can be activated directly by capacitive sensors.
KAS can be used in machines, systems and vehicles for:
• Level monitoring of liquids, pastes or bulk material, and also through non-metal windows,
if the dielectric constant of the material to be detected is higher (approx. Factor 5).
• As limit switches, contact-less position switches for monitoring and positioning, as pulse
generator for counting tasks, distance and speed measurements and for many other
applications.
