Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VC11RTM2410M Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi VC11RTM2410M is a versatile capacitive proximity and level sensor with adjustable ON-delay, designed for detecting solid, liquid and granular materials in industrial and agricultural applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi VC capacitive sensor range, it combines adjustable sensitivity, a wide AC/DC supply range and an SPDT relay output in a robust cylindrical housing.
The VC11RTM2410M provides an adjustable 4–12 mm sensing distance, with a rated operating distance of up to 12 mm. Its capacitive sensing principle enables detection of both conductive and non-conductive materials, making it particularly useful for monitoring liquids, grain, powders and other bulk materials.
A built-in adjustable ON-delay timer from 1 s to 10 min helps prevent unwanted switching and allows the response to be tailored to the process. The sensor operates across a broad 20.4–255 V AC/DC supply range, incorporates an SPDT change-over relay and uses a cable connection for straightforward field wiring.

Reliable Capacitive Detection for Level Control
Capacitive proximity sensors detect changes in the electrical capacitance around the sensing face. This allows the VC11RTM2410M to detect many non-metallic materials as well as conductive targets, making it particularly effective for level monitoring of grain, fluids, powders and other process materials.
The integrated SPDT relay can interface directly with suitable control circuits, while the adjustable ON-delay prevents the relay from responding immediately when a target is detected. This is useful in level-control and material-handling systems where short-term changes or transient material movement should not trigger the process.
Typical Applications
- Grain and agricultural material level detection.
- Liquid level monitoring in tanks and containers.
- Powder and granular material detection.
- Hopper, silo and bin level control.
- Industrial filling and material-handling equipment.
- Process automation requiring delayed level switching.
