The CLC series from Sensortechnics uses a contact-free capacitive sensor technology to continuously measure the fill level of liquids as well as granular or pulverised materials.
The miniature sensor can be easily mounted to the outside of a container or vessel and is able to measure through almost any non-metallic wall material.
The level sensing range of the standard device is up to 10cm, which can be enlarged in special multi-sensor configurations.
The non-invasive design, with no contact between the sensor and the fluid, eliminates media compatibility and sterility issues.
The device is flexible and the user can calibrate the sensor to measure to the desired levels, media and application set-up.
The CLC series achieves high accuracy and reliability due to an additional reference electrode that compensates for all changes in ambient environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity.
As an optional safety feature, the sensor can be supplied with an extra sensing pad to detect if a container is actually present or not.
The CLC sensor offers an analogue voltage output as well as a digital interface.
Sensortechnics can also provide modifications of its capacitive level sensor based on customer-specific requirements.
Features of the CLC series are: continuous, contact-free level monitoring; capacitive measurement of liquids, granular or pulverised materials; miniature-sized sensor, easily mountable to the outside of a container; and analogue and digital outputs.
Sensortechnics's CLC capacitive sensor can be used in many level-monitoring applications within medical technology, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, also biotechnology as well as food and beverage.
