Adjustment Guide
The environments in which
capacitive sensors are install-
ed can often be unstable re-
garding temperature, humidity,
object distance and industrial
(noise) interference. Because
of this, Carlo Gavazzi offers

Installation Hints
Capacitive sensors have the
unique ability to detect al-
most all materials, either in li-
quid or solid form. Capacitive
sensors can detect metallic
as well as non-metallic ob-
jects, however, their tradition-
al use is for non-metallic
materials such as:

To avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch pow-
er cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables

• Packaging Industry
Materials are detected due to
their dielectric constant. The
bigger the size of an object,
the higher the density of ma-
