Model DCS-45 Differential Capacitance Type Proximity Sensor

Application

  • Paper remaining amount detection
  • Detection of banknotes
  • oin quantity detection
  • Human proximity detection
  • Detection of remaining liquid level
  • Detection of remaining level of grains
  • Detection of kerosene level (non-contact)
  • Level detection of coffee powder (non-contact)

Features

  • Detection of minute capacitance change is possible by the differential capacitance detection method.
  • Minute capacitance changes in the fF (femto farad) range can be detected.
  • Capacitance change can be output as an analog voltage.
  • Detection of changes due to the thickness of a single sheet of paper.
  • Non-contact detection of liquid inside plastic piping.
  • Non-metallic liquid in the tank can be detected without contact.

International Standards

  • Our products do not have overseas safety regulations such as CE mark, UL standard, EN standard etc.
  • Products is compliant to the RoHS directive.

* Please consult about "change of specification" and "request of specification" of the product.

Mutual Interference

  • When using two or more sets of sensor of the same frequency type, separate them in  the distance shown below more toavoid possible mutual interference.

Precautions During Use

  • The principle of operation of differential capacitance type proximity sensors is an analog output sensor that detects the difference between a reference capacitance inside the sensor and the capacitance of the sensor detection surface.
    There are two motion models, the "ground model" in which the capacitance decreases in principle and the “floating model" where the capacitance increases.
    The output voltage is set to 1 V at the time of non-detection, and if the detection object has a large capacitive coupling with ground, the ground model is applied and the output voltage increases from 1 V to 5 V .
    When the detection object has small capacitive coupling with ground, the floating model is applied if it comes close enough to come into contact with the detection surface, at which time the output voltage falls from 1 V to 0 V.
  • Never peel off the film on the detection surface as this will prevent capacitance from being detected.
  • For other precautions, please refer to "General Precautions" of differential capacitance type proximity sensors.
