## **Adjustment Guide** 

The environments in which capacitive sensors are install­ ed can often be un stable re­ garding 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 user­friendly sen­ sitivity 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:** 

Sensors are factory set (de­ fault) to maximum rated sens­ ing 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 non­metallic ob­ jects, how ever, their tradition­ al use is for non­metallic ma­ terials such as: 

- **Plastic Industry** 

- Resins, regrinds or mould­ ed products. 

- **Chemical Industry** 

Cleansers, fertilisers, liquid soaps, corrosives and pet­ rochemicals. 

- **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 vegeta­ bles, 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 easier it is to detect the object. Nominal sensing di stan ce for a capac­ 

itive sensor is referenced to a grounded me tal plate (ST37). For addi tional information regarding di elec tric ratings of materials please re fer to Technical Information.
