Review the complete description, feature set, and specification details before sending your inquiry.

Capanivo® CN 7121 is a high-performance capacitive level switch engineered for precise liquid detection in industrial environments. Designed with durable synthetic materials, it ensures reliable operation in aggressive media where traditional sensors may fail. Its flexible installation and advanced electronics make it suitable for modern automation systems requiring accurate and efficient level monitoring.

Key Features

  • Chemical-resistant plastic construction for harsh liquids
  • External measurement capability without direct contact
  • Integrated IO-Link for digital communication
  • Adjustable sensitivity via built-in potentiometer
  • Compact housing options for versatile installations
  • Reliable detection for full, demand, empty, and leakage monitoring

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. Its external mounting capability eliminates direct contact with aggressive liquids, extending sensor life. With digital communication support and adjustable settings, it provides flexibility, accuracy, and improved process control for modern industrial systems.
