IFM ELECTRONIC Capacitive Sensors KI0040

True wide-voltage 2-wire AC design: Operates directly on 20–250 VAC (50/60 Hz) without additional power supply or relay interface; can be wired straight into AC contactors, relays, or PLC AC inputs for minimal wiring effort.

Superior immunity to interference: Thyristor output provides excellent surge and burst immunity, making it ideal for old factories, long cable runs, and unstable grids.

Classic 12-turn potentiometer: Precise 12-turn sensitivity adjustment for fine-tuning in applications with varying moisture content or uneven container walls.

High-temperature silicone cable: Standard 0.5 m silicone cable (180 °C resistant) with tinned ferrules; oil-, acid-, and aging-resistant for significantly longer service life than standard PVC cables.

Clear output status indication: Large yellow LED visibly shows switching state even in bright ambient light; the classic “at-a-glance” status loved by veteran engineers.

Proven over decades: In production for more than 20 years with millions of units installed worldwide; unmatched spare-part availability and drop-in replacement compatibility in legacy systems.
