The environments in which
capacitive sensors are install -
ed can often be un
stable re
-
garding temperature, humi dity ,
object distance and industrial
(noise) interference. Because
of this, Carlo Ga vazzi offers as
standard features in all TRIP -
LESHIELDTM capacitive sen-
sors a user-friendly sensitivity
adjustment instead of having
a fixed sensing range, extend -
ed sen
sing range to accom-
modate mechanically demand -
ing are as, temperature stability
to en sure minimum need for
adjusting sensitivity if temper-
ature varies and high immuni-
ty to elec tro magnetic interfer-
ence (EMI).
Note:
Sensors are factory set
(default) to maximum rated
sensing range.

Installation Hints
Capacitive sensors have the
unique ability to detect al
-
most all materials, either in li -
quid or solid form. Capa ci tive
sensors can detect metallic
as well as non-metallic ob
-
jects, how ever, their tradition-
al use is for non-metallic
materials such as:
Plastic Industry
Resins, regrinds or mould -
ed products.
Chemical Industry
Cleansers, fertilisers, liquid
soaps, corrosives and pe -
t ro chemicals.
Wood Industry
Saw dust, paper products,
door and window frames.
Ceramic & Glass
Industry
Raw material, clay or
finish ed products, bottles.
Packaging Industry
Package inspection for level
or contents, dry goods,
fruits and vegetables, dairy
products.
Materials are detected due to
their dielectric constant. The
bigger the size of an object,
the higher the density of ma -
terial, the better or easier it is
to detect the object. Nominal
sensing di stan ce for a capaci-
tive sensor is refe r enced to a
grounded me tal plate (ST37).
