Application
This capacitive level sensor is widely used in chemical processing plants, water and wastewater treatment facilities, food and beverage systems, and industrial manufacturing units. It is ideal for detecting liquid levels in tanks, pipelines, bypass systems, and standpipes. Its non-contact measurement capability is particularly beneficial in applications where contamination, corrosion, or maintenance challenges are present.
Design & Functionality
The sensor operates on a capacitive measurement principle, detecting changes in dielectric properties when liquids are present. Its synthetic housing ensures long-term durability while maintaining consistent performance. The IO-Link interface enables seamless integration into digital control systems, allowing real-time data transmission and process optimization.
Total Crossed Beams
Not applicable for this capacitive sensor design, as detection is based on electrical field variation rather than optical beams.
Beam Pitch Options
Not applicable; sensitivity is controlled electronically for precise level detection.
Intrinsic Synchronism
The sensor maintains stable performance across varying process conditions, ensuring consistent switching behavior and accurate detection even in fluctuating environments.
Operational Advantages
Capanivo® CN 7121 enhances operational efficiency by reducing downtime, minimizing maintenance, and enabling reliable leak detection.
