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 as
standard features in all
LESHIELD™ capacitive sen-
sors a user-friendly sensitivity
adjustment instead of having
a fixed sensing range, extend-
ed sensing range to accom-
Installation Hints
Capacitive sensors have the
unique ability to detect almost
all materials, either in liquid or
solid form. Capacitive sen-
sors can detect metallic as
well as non-metallic objects,
however, their traditional use
is for non-metallic materials
such as:

• Packaging Industry
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
