of the measuring field to penetrate non-conductive materials is
particularly advantageous for measuring filling levels. Capacitive
sensors can be installed outside of a container to detect a filling
level inside. This protects the sensor from aggressive media and
prevents contamination of high-quality materials by the sensor at
the same time.

Solutions customized for
each customer
No range of products will ever be large enough to provide the optimal solution for every
application. Often within an a pplication, there are requirements that move in a completely
new direction and cannot be fulfilled to the extent desired by the existing solutions in the
market. This is why our development engineers work closely with our customers. Sensors
customized for each customer are continuously being created while searching for the opti-
mal solution to specific requirements.
The range extends from special mechanical housings all the way to completely new types
of sensor systems. An innovative sensor solution may also help you achieve a substantial
competitive advantage.

Definition of sensing distance
Sensing distance The international standard EN 60947-5-2 defines sensing distance as follows: sensing distance
is the distance at which a standard target moving toward the sensing face of a proximity switch
causes a signal change.
The sensing distance of capacitive sensors depends on the following factors

- Sensor diameter
- Sensor design (with/without GND electrode)
- Material of the medium to be detected

Installation and mounting procedure
To rule out unintentional interference of the measuring field and to achieve maximum sensing
distances, it is required to follow the mounting instructions and to maintain the specified mini-
mum distances. If the minimum distances are undercut, a reduction of the sensing distances is
expectable. A sensor test directly at the application is recommended.

Connection diagrams
Explanatory notes The specified diagrams indicate the undamped output. A sensor is in a damped state when an ob-
on the connection ject is located in within its scanning range. In the diagrams Z denotes the typical load resistance
position; Uz denotes the voltage applied to this load resistance. If Uz = high (≈ +Vs), then current
diagrams flows; if Uz = low (≈ 0 V), then no current flows via the load resistance. Load resistance between
output and +Vs is referred to as pull-up resistance, load resistance between output and 0 V as
pull-down resistance.
PNP or NPN Sensors with a PNP or NPN output have a 3-wire design (+Vs, output and 0 V) and operate with
output direct current (DC). The load resistance of PNP sensors is between output and 0 V (pull-down resis-
tance), while load resistance of NPN sensors is between +Vs and output (pull-up resistance). As a
result, the PNP output is connected to the positive voltage supply during switching (positive switch-
ing output), whereas the NPN output is connected to the negative voltage supply during switching
(negative switching output).
Normally open contacts and/or normally closed contacts define the switching function. Normally
open contacts are referred to as normally open (NO), normally closed contacts as normally closed
(NC). During damping with an object, sensors with normally open function establish contact connec-
tions (Uz = high), while sensors with normally closed function disconnect connections (Uz = low).

Push-pull output Sensors with a push-pull output have a 3-wire design like PNP or NPN sensors (+Vs, output and
(push-pull) 0 V) and also operate with direct current (DC). Because this output is designed as a change-over,
it can be used as a positive or as a negative switching output depending on the wiring. Therefore
it is compatible with PNP or NPN outputs and is universally usable. If the load is connected to 0
V, the behavior of the output potential is identical to that of a sensor with a PNP output; when the
load is connected to +Vs, the behavior of the the output potential is identical to that of a sensor
with an NPN output. The switching function active low means that during damping with an object
approx. 0 V (low) are over the load resistance; at active high approx. +Vs (high) are over the load
resistance during damping. Parallel connection of push-pull sensors is possible only with corre-
sponding wiring.

Design and function
Function The capacitive sensor basically functions like an open capacitor. An electrical field is formed
between the measuring electrode and the GND electrode. If a material with a dielectric constant
εr greater than air enters the electrical field, the capacity of the field increases depending on the
εr of this material. The electronics measure this capacity increase, the generated signal is con-
ditioned during subsequent signal processing and causes output switching at a corresponding
magnitude.

well. To prevent undesired switching conductive and optimally grounded
and moisture on the sensor surface, a
compensating electrode was integrat-
ed to suppress undesired objects
16 www.baumer.com
Detectable media
Dielectric constant Capacitive sensors detect conductive as well as non-conductive media with a dielectric constant εr > 1.
The dielectric constant εr (also relative permittivity or inductive capacitance) of a material indi-
cates how many times greater the electric flux density will become if instead of vacuum (air) the
corresponding material enters the measuring field.
Conductive media Conductive media typically has an electrical conductivity > 20 µS/cm. Conductive material can
easily be detected by all sensor types whether they have a GND electrode or not. In conductive
media the dielectric constant is irrelevant for the sensing distance. The sensing distance is influ-
enced by the size of the object and its grounding.
Conductive media include: - Water
- Blood
- Ink
- Milk
- Acetone
- Metals
Non-conductive media Non-conductive media typically has an electrical conductivity < 20 µS/cm. In general sensors with
a GND electrode are recommended for non-conductive media. If a non-conductive object is moved
into the sensor field, the field increases depending on the dielectric constant and the size of the
material to be detected, increasing the capacity of the measuring field. The lower εr is, the harder it
is to detect the medium. Generally it can be said that e.g. for plastics with εr = 3 the effective sens-
ing distance Sr corresponds to approximately 50% of the nominal sensing distance Sn.

Sensor selection
To facilitate the selection of the right capacitive sensor, this double page provides an initial overview of
suitable sensors based on the task and type of medium to be detected
Level detection in direct contact

Capacitive sensors in especially robust
plastic and metal housings are very suitable
for level detection in direct contact with the
medium. The sensors feature high chemical
and mechanical resistance. They are installed
through an opening in the container wall or
inside the container. The internal compen-
sating electrode prevents switching errors
caused by sediments and moisture on the
sensing face. Sensors with a fully enclosed
housing are preferable for applications with
direct media contact.
Level detection through con-

tainer walls
Capacitive sensors can detect media
through non-conductive container walls
without any problems. This is a big
benefit particularly in closed containers,
chemically aggressive media or in me-

conductivity of the medium to be de-

tected, the better it can be detected by
the sensor through the container wall.
Capacitive fill level sensor
Object detection / bulk goods

Capacitive sensors can detect all
kinds of objects without any prob-
lems. The better the level of con-
ductivity and grounding of an object
is, the higher is the level of signal
reserves and detection reliability.
Because many capacitive sensors
can be flush mounted, they are
suitable for protected, space-saving
installation
