Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CD34CNFLFPCT5 Capacitive Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CD34CNFLFPCT5 is a compact and reliable capacitive liquid level sensor designed for non-contact detection of water-based conductive liquids through non-metallic container walls. As part of the advanced Carlo Gavazzi CD34 capacitive level sensor series, it provides dependable liquid level monitoring with foreground suppression technology, reducing false switching caused by residue, foam and moisture.
This sensor features a foreground suppression sensing system with a compact plastic housing, universal mounting capability and pigtail M8 plug connection. The intelligent sensing principle detects the liquid level while compensating for wall thickness variations and environmental influences, making it suitable for demanding industrial and hygienic applications.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, PNP normally closed output, 100 mA switching capacity and robust IP-rated protection, the CD34CNFLFPCT5 is ideal for contactless liquid level detection in food, beverage, packaging and industrial process applications.
