Capanivo - CN 8100 Capacitive Sensor

Brand: UWT GmbH
Application Area

The capacitance level detector Capanivo® 8100 is used in storage and process vessels as a full, demand and empty detector in all liquids.

Due to different probe versions, a suitable solution will be found for every installation setting.

A robust construction allows service at process temperatures up to +125 °C and a process overpressure up to 25 bar.
Features
  • Simple commissioning without adjustment to the medium
  • Adjustable hysteresis avoids unnecessary switching and thus increases the service life of the system
  • Reliable measurement results even with strongly adhering material
