## **Adjustment Guide** 

The environments in which capacitive sensors are installed can often be un stable regarding temperature, humi dity , object distance and industrial (noise) interference. Because of this, Carlo Ga vazzi offers as standard features in all _TRIP LESHIELD_ ™ capacitive sensors a user-friendly sensitivity adjustment instead of having a fixed sensing range, extend ed sen sing range to 

accommodate mechanically demand ing are as, temperature stability to en sure minimum need for adjusting sensitivity if temperature varies and high immunity to elec tro magnetic interference (EMI). 

## **Note:** 

The sensors are factory set (default) to maximum rated sensing range.

## **Installation Hints** 

Capacitive sensors have the unique ability to detect al most all materials, either in li quid or solid form. Capa ci tive sensors can detect metallic as well as non-metallic ob jects, however, their traditional use is for non-metallic materials such as: 

- **Plastic Industry** 

- Resins, regrinds or mould- 

ed products. 

- **Chemical Industry** 

- Cleansers, fertilisers, liquid soaps, corrosives and pe - - t ro chemicals. 

- **Wood Industry** 

- Saw dust, paper products, door and window frames. 

- **Ceramic & Glass Industry** 

- Raw material, clay or 

finish ed products, bottles. 

- **Packaging Industry** Package inspection for level or contents, dry goods, fruits and vegetables, dairy products. 

Materials are detected due to their dielectric constant. The bigger the size of an object, the higher the density of ma terial, the better or eas- 

ier it is to detect the object. Nominal sensing di stan ce for a capacitive sensor is refe r enced to a grounded me tal plate (ST37). For additional information regarding di elec tric ratings of materials please re fer to Technical Information.
