Capacitive proximity switch CPS-24

Reliable Liquid Detection for Industrial Systems

The CPS-24 Capacitive Proximity Switch delivers accurate liquid detection in industrial environments. This sensor identifies liquids inside glass or plastic pipes without direct contact. It also monitors liquids inside the inter-coat space of double-walled tanks.

Manufacturers use this sensor to improve safety and monitoring in storage systems. The device quickly detects liquid presence and sends signals to control systems. As a result, operators gain reliable information about tank conditions.

Many industries rely on capacitive sensing technology because it provides stable and non-invasive measurement. The CPS-24 performs consistently even in demanding industrial conditions.

Adjustable Sensitivity for Accurate Detection

The CPS-24 allows users to adjust the sensing sensitivity. This feature ensures precise detection for different materials and wall thicknesses. The sensor supports a sensing distance from 0 to 10 mm.

Users can easily configure the sensor to match the installation environment. This flexibility improves accuracy and reduces detection errors. Consequently, the sensor adapts well to multiple industrial processes.

Multiple Output Options for System Integration

The CPS-24 supports NPN, PNP, and NAMUR outputs. These output options enable seamless integration with PLC systems and industrial controllers. Engineers can choose the output type that matches their automation system.

NPN and PNP outputs support general automation environments. Meanwhile, the NAMUR output supports intrinsically safe industrial applications. Therefore, the sensor fits both standard and hazardous installations.

Durable Stainless Steel Construction

The CPS-24 features a robust stainless steel housing. This construction protects the sensor from corrosion and mechanical stress. The durable body ensures reliable operation in harsh industrial environments.

The sensing surface uses PTFE material. This material resists chemicals and maintains stable sensing performance. As a result, the sensor maintains long service life with minimal maintenance.

Explosion-Proof Option for Hazardous Areas

The CPS-24 includes a version designed for explosive environments. This variant supports intrinsically safe operation in hazardous industrial zones. Industries such as chemical processing and petrochemical storage often require this protection.

The explosion-proof version meets strict safety standards for gas and dust atmospheres. Consequently, facilities maintain reliable monitoring while meeting safety regulations.

LED Status Indicator for Easy Monitoring

The CPS-24 includes a clear LED status indicator. This indicator shows the current switching state of the sensor. Technicians can quickly verify sensor operation during installation or maintenance.

This visual feedback improves troubleshooting and system monitoring. Operators can confirm sensor activity without additional testing equipment.

The CPS-24 combines precise sensing, flexible configuration, and strong industrial durability. These features make it a reliable solution for liquid detection and automation control systems.
