CapFox® ENT 21 MS-21 | 5656021ST-L-5B02

capacitance level switch

in-stock items

  • easy adjustment via magnetic pin
  • IP 68 degree of protection
  • for temperatures of the medium of up to 300 °C
  • EX version suitable for mining

For level detection of conductive and non-conductive liquids in tanks, ducts, pipes or silos. Particularly suitable for application in the food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Also ideal for level detection of bulk solids such as sand, gravel, cement and granular material stored in open or closed containers.

The capacitance level switch CapFox® ENT 21 consists of an electronics module integrated in a robust stainless steel housing and the measuring electrode. The electrode is partially or fully insulated; in conjunction with a conductive tank wall or an earthed counter-electrode, it forms a capacitor whose capacitance depends on the electric characteristics of the environment. As soon as the dielectric (electric field) is no longer formed by a air or a another gas (free electrode), but by a liquid or the bulk solids, the capacitance changes. This is converted into a switching signal by the electronics. An NPN or a PNP transistor output is available as electrical output. The sensor output of the EX version complies with EN 60947 (NAMUR).
Fully or partially insulated rigid probes or flexible probes are available, depending on the medium and the application. Only fully insulated electrodes are used for level detection of adhesive, corrosive or electrically conductive media.
