Capacitive proximity sensor with long sensing distance
The manufacturer of capacitive sensors with extreme long sensing distance are based on the three-electrode measuring-principle. this measuring principle allows much larger sensing distances compared to the two-electrode principle of common capacitive sensors, up to 10-times the norm. Although one achieves essentially larger switching distances with these capacitive systems, the size of the sensors is small.
KXS-Systems are used for applications where the sensing distances of standard sensors are not sufficient.
A further feature is the Duplex-or Triplex-operation. With the corresponding evaluation unit it is possible to adjust 1, 2 or 3 switching points with only one sensor.
