Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VC5510NNCP Capacitive Level Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi VC5510NNCP is a compact flat-pack capacitive proximity and level sensor designed for reliable detection of liquids and other materials without mechanical contact. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi VC5510 series, it combines adjustable capacitive sensing with an NPN normally closed output in a slim rectangular housing.
The VC5510NNCP has a rated sensing distance of 10 mm, adjustable over 2–10 mm, allowing sensitivity to be matched to the material and installation. Its capacitive operating principle makes it particularly useful for level detection applications involving water, process fluids and other materials where non-contact sensing is desirable.
Operating from a 5–30 V DC supply, the VC5510NNCP provides a 100 mA NPN normally closed output. Its compact 35 × 55 × 15 mm PC/ABS housing, 1.5 m PVC cable, red LED indication and IP65 protection provide a practical solution for industrial and equipment-level monitoring.

Reliable Capacitive Level Detection
The VC5510NNCP detects changes in capacitance when material approaches its sensing face. This allows non-contact detection through suitable non-metallic surfaces and makes the sensor particularly useful for monitoring liquids and other materials where mechanical level switches may be undesirable.
Its adjustable sensitivity enables the sensing point to be optimised for the application, while the NPN normally closed transistor output provides straightforward interfacing with compatible PLCs and DC control circuits. The flat-pack housing can be mounted using two M4 screws for convenient equipment integration.
Typical Applications
- Liquid level detection in tanks and containers.
- Water level monitoring.
- Process and disinfection-fluid level detection.
- Whirlpool and spa equipment control.
- Industrial filling and dispensing equipment.
- Machine and process automation systems.
