The capacitive KQ type sensors from ifm electronic are ready for use at the push of a button and have been optimised for the detection of conductive media through non-metal vessel walls. This small sensor has four functions: NO and NC function can be programmed by pressing two buttons. The autodetect output function allows the circuitry to detect PNP or NPN output loads at the external electronics automatically. The capacitive sensors are easy and fast to mount using fastening strips and optional accessories and reliably detect bulk materials or liquids. The units are designed for non-flush installation and have a sensing range of 8mm. A LED integrated into the sensor housing indicates the switching status. The operating voltage is between 10 and 36VDC.
