Capacitive sensors avoid 'nuisance' switching
Carlo Gavazzi's new Tripleshield M18 size capacitive sensors are immune
to the effects of mobile telephones and large switched loads, and thus
avoid the problem of nuisance switching in industrial environments. The
sensors, which are suitable for detecting levels of solids and liquids in
vessels and cartons over a 3-12mm range, are also protected against
electrostatic discharge to 17kV - well above the minimum protection of
8kV as stated in the IEC 801.2 Grade 3 standard. The M18 housings are
available in polypropylene, Teflon and PVC ensuring a high degree of
chemical resistance and suitability for food and beverage processes.
