Presentation Advantages
bb No physical contact with the object to be detected.
1 bb High operating rates.

bb Solid-state product, no moving parts (service life not related to number of

operating cycles).

bb Detection of any object irrespective of material or conductivity, for example:

2 metals, minerals, wood, plastic, glass, cardboard, leather, ceramic, fluids, etc.

Electrical field
Operating principle
An electrical field is created between 2 electrodes on the front face of the sensor.
Electrode
These electrodes constitute a capacitor with a capacitance of:
C = e0 * er * A/d where:

3 e0 = 8.854 187 pF/m (permittivity in free space)

er: relative permittivity of the material present between the 2 electrodes
A: dimensions of electrodes
d: distance between electrodes
Air er = 1
C = C0 All materials where er > 2 will be detected.

4
Object er > 2
When an object of any material (er > 2) passes the sensing face of the sensor, it
modifies the coupling capacitance (C1).
This variation in capacitance (C1 > C0) instigates the starting of the oscillator
which, in turn, causes the output driver to operate and provides an output signal.

5
C = C1

Types of sensor Sensors flush mountable in support

6 The special feature of these versions is the shape of the electrical field which is
rectilinear and confined within the dimensions of the product.
Cylindrical and block type models used for the detection of insulated materials
(wood, plastic, cardboard, glass…), conductive materials (metal…) or liquid
through an insulated partition (glass, plastic…) with a maximum thickness of 4 mm.

These products are recommended for:

7 -- comparatively short detection distances,
-- applications requiring flush mounting of the sensor,
-- detection through a partition (example: detection of glass through cardboard),
Sensing face -- side by side mounting.

Sensors non flush mountable in support

Cylindrical models (plastic case).
8 The spherical shape of the electrical field enables detection of any type of material
whether it be solid, liquid, granular… (metal, water, oil, plastic pellets, powder,
flour…). Detection can be achieved through a partition or by direct contact
(immersion) of the active surface with the object to be detected.
Distances to be adhered to around the sensing face. (See characteristics page 15).
Sensing face

Mounting precautions
9 Non flush mountable models cannot be flush mounted in their support.
The non flush mountable models require a free zone around the active head.

Terminology Definitions

Standard target
selection, the standard IEC 60947-5-2 defines various sensing distances, such as: 1
Nominal sensing distance (Sn)

Effective sensing distance (Sr)

Assured operating distance (Sa)
H = Differential travel This is the operating zone of the sensor.
The assured operating distance is between 0 and 72% of Sn.

Standard metal target

4
Standard metal target
The standard IEC 60947-5-2 defines the standard metal target as a square mild
steel (Fe 360) plate, 1 mm thick.
The side dimension of the plate is either equal to the diameter of the circle engraved
on the sensing face of the sensor or 3 times the nominal sensing distance (Sn).

Sn
5
Assured operating
distance 0.72 Sn

Repeat accuracy
The repeat accuracy (R) is the repeatability of the sensing distance between
PE PR successive operations. Readings are taken over a period of time whilst the sensor is
subjected to voltage and temperature variations: 8 hours, 10 to 30 °C, Un ± 5%. 6
Frontal approach It is expressed as a percentage of the effective sensing distance Sr.

Sensing distance H

PE = pick-up point, the target is detected

PR = drop-out point, the target is no longer detected
7
Differential travel
The differential travel (H) or hysteresis, is the distance between the operating point,
as the standard metal target moves towards the sensor, and the release point, as it
moves away.
This hysteresis is essential for the stable operation of the sensor.

Terminology (continued) Sensitivity of the sensor

All our sensors incorporate a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer. This enables the
1 sensitivity of the sensor to be adjusted to suit the type of object to be detected.

Depending on the sensor version, the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer is either

- mounted on the side or the rear.
+
The sensors are factory preset for nominal sensitivity.
LED
2 Depending on the application, adjustment of the sensitivity could be necessary as
follows:
-- increasing the sensitivity for objects which have a weak influence
(weaker): paper, cardboard, glass, plastic,
-- decreasing the sensitivity for objects which have a strong influence
(stronger): metals, liquids.

3 LED However, in the event of severe variations in the ambient conditions, do not
increase the sensitivity of the sensor such that it is set to its maximum operating
limits.

An increase in sensitivity causes an increase in the switching hysteresis.

4 +
-

Operating distances
5 The operating distance of the sensor is related to the dielectric constant (er) of the
object material to be detected.
The higher the value of er, the easier the detection of the object will be.

The assured operating distance depends on the object material: Sa = Sn x Fc

Sa = assured operating distance,
Sn = nominal sensing distance of the sensor,

6 Fc = correction factor related to the object material.

Example: sensor XT130B1PAL2 used to detect a rubber object.

Sn = 10 mm, Fc = 0.3.
Assured operating distance Sa = 10 x 0.3 mm.

The list below indicates the dielectric constant values of the most common object

7 materials, together with their correction factors (Fc) for the nominal sensing
distance of the sensor.

Environment
bb Electromagnetic interference
The sensors undergo electromagnetic interference testing in accordance with the
recommendations of standard IEC 60947-5-2 (electrostatic discharges, radiated
1
electromagnetic fields, fast transients, impulse voltages).
bb Thermal influences
It is advisable to remain within the values stated on the characteristic pages so as to
avoid sensing distance drift and possible incorrect operation of the sensor.
bb Chemical agents
To ensure a long service life, it is essential that any chemicals coming into contact
with the case of the sensor are non corrosive.
2
bb Earthing
Earthing of an object that has high conductivity increases the sensing distance.

Additional information relating to outputs

Adjustment: the filling operation commences.
- sensor 1 is adjusted to detect the bottle, Sensor 2 remains in the unoperated state.
- sensor 2 is adjusted to detect the water in the bottle.
Reminder: the wall of the container must be non metallic and its thickness y 4 mm

Livestock feeder filling

Capacitive technology is particularly suited for the detection of feed levels in
automatic dispensers for livestock. Any type of feed can be detected (pellets, 7
powders, broths, grains, pastas, etc.).
The materials used, as well as the degree of protection of the sensor, have been
specially selected to tolerate the acidic and dusty environments associated with this
application.
