Capacitive Non-Contact Level Sensors

  • Continuously measuring level from outside tank or pipe
  • Non-contact detection so no influence caused by medium
  • Three separate point level sensors in one unit
  • Deposits can be detected and signaled to improve quality of the process
  • Linking several KQ10 via IO-Link

Description

  • High performance electronics with dual core chipset
  • 16 individual capacitive measuring cells create array for continuous level measurement
  • Advanced algorithm learns environment for improved measurement reliability and stability with each filling cycle
  • Onboard diagnostics suppresses and monitors build-up on tank wall, and alerts improper filling conditions

Slight deposits on the inner walls of the tank do not impair the level detection, and they can be signaled via the switching output or IO-Link if the threshold is exceeded. This permanent condition monitoring prevents unplanned production downtime.
