Capanivo - CN 8100 Capacitive Sensor

Brand: UWT GmbH

The Capanivo® CN 8100 Capacitive Sensor from UWT embodies a versatile, dependable capacitive level sensor solution, well-suited for an extensive array of industrial applications. Whether your priority is preventing overfill in large grain silos, maintaining feed levels in plastic processing, or ensuring smooth operations in food and chemical processes, the CN 8100 delivers robust performance, minimal maintenance overhead, and long-term reliability.

Key Takeaways for plant engineers and operators:

Integrated, Durable Design
An all-in-one sensor requiring no external transmitter box, featuring high IP ratings for demanding environments.

Adaptable Mounting Options
Threaded, flanged, or extended rod/cable versions accommodate diverse vessel geometries.

Advanced Electronics
Built-in active shielding, adjustable sensitivity, and optional auto-calibration address sticky, low-dielectric, or dynamic processes.

Easy Maintenance
No moving parts in contact with the medium, straightforward calibration, and robust materials minimize downtime.

Scalable Integration
Multiple output and power supply options allow seamless connection to PLCs, SCADA, or local alarm circuits.

Harness the full potential of the CN 8100 for years of worry-free level detection.

With the CN 8100 in place, plant operators can focus on productivity and safety, confident that an essential aspect of their level monitoring—a robust and intelligent capacitive sensor—is reliably securing their process boundaries.

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
