XT Capacitive Sensors / 12 mm 18 mm, 30 mm and Limit Switch Style; AC and DC

Features Capacitive proximity sensors are ideal for sensing non-metal objects or for level control of fluids and granular material. A special wall mounting bracket has been designed to replace thick or metal walls the sensor is not capable of penetrating. The actual sensing range varies widely depending on the target material and environmental conditions (humidity, dust, etc.).
XT1/4 Threaded

An internal compensation electrode is incorporated to suppress the effects of material deposits on the sensors face. The threshold level is adjustable via a 20 turn potentiometer (except 12mm) located at the rear of the switch. This adjustment can be used to zero out the presence of a plastic tube allowing the switch to sense through a bulk material or liquid level. Other features include: metal housing: nickel plated brass, plastic housing: PBT; can be flush mounted in metal (except XT4); LED indication for output in closed state; mounting nuts included for threaded models; mounting bracket included for non-threaded versions, well mounting brackets are optional; sensitivity adjustment tool included; UL & CSA; CE mark.

The operating distance of the sensor is related to the dielectric constant () of the object material to be detected. The higher the value of , the easier it will be for the object to be detected. NOTE: This product should not be used in an environment with dew or condensation
The Usable Sensing Distance depends on the object material: Su = Sn x Fc Su = Usable Sensing Distance; Sn = Nominal Sensing Distance; Fc = Correction Coefficient for the object material

Example: Sensor XT1M30PA372 used to detect a rubber object Sn = 10 mm, Fc = 0.3 Usable Sensing Distance Su = 10 mm x 0.3 = 3 mm
