Carlo Gavazzi EC3016PPAPL Capacitive Sensor

The capacitive sensor, also known as a level sensor or proximity sensor, with type number EC3016PPAPL from Carlo Gavazzi, is an electrical sensor for non-contact detection of objects or fill levels. It has the dimensions 15 x 13 x 5 cm and weighs 0.12 kg. Capacitive sensors detect objects or fill levels without contact by measuring capacitance changes caused by the approach of an object or a change in a medium within the detection range. They are suitable for detecting metallic and non-metallic materials. Typical applications are found in automation technology for position monitoring, in the packaging industry for level control of granules and liquids, and in process technology for material flow monitoring.
