Application
The CN 4020 is widely used in industries such as food processing, cement, chemicals, plastics, and agriculture. It serves as a full, empty, or demand level indicator in storage tanks, conveyors, and silos. Its ability to operate reliably in dusty, high-pressure, or high-temperature environments makes it ideal for continuous production processes.
Design & Functionality
This sensor utilizes capacitive measurement principles to detect material presence based on changes in electrical capacitance. Its rugged probe construction ensures durability, while the integrated shielding technology prevents signal interference caused by buildup or residue. The device supports multiple power supply options and output configurations, allowing seamless integration into existing control systems.
Total Crossed Beams
Not applicable for this sensor type, as detection is based on capacitive field changes rather than optical or beam-based measurement.
Beam Pitch Options
Not applicable; the CN 4020 operates using a single-point capacitive sensing mechanism.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor ensures stable signal processing with consistent switching behavior, reducing false triggering and enhancing operational reliability.
Operational Advantages
The CN 4020 improves process efficiency by eliminating false level detection caused by buildup.
