Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi CB18CLN12TOFT Capacitive Proximity Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi CB18CLN12TOFT is a reliable capacitive proximity sensor with timer function designed for non-contact detection of solid, liquid and granulated materials in industrial automation and level monitoring applications. Featuring a compact M18 non-flush cylindrical housing, this sensor provides dependable detection performance for tanks, silos, containers and processing equipment.
Part of the Carlo Gavazzi CB series AC TRIPLESHIELD™ range, the CB18CLN12TOFT combines capacitive sensing technology with high noise immunity and adjustable sensitivity. Its fixed 30 s ON-delay timer function helps prevent false switching caused by material movement, vibration or unstable sensing conditions.
The sensor operates from a 20–250 V AC supply and provides a 12 mm rated sensing distance with adjustable sensitivity. With a 2-wire AC SCR output, normally open switching function, 2 m PVC cable and IP67 protection, the CB18CLN12TOFT is suitable for industrial level detection and material monitoring applications.
