Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VC11RT92410M Capacitive Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi VC11RT92410M is a robust capacitive proximity and level sensor designed for detecting liquids, solids and granular materials in industrial automation and process applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi VC11RT capacitive sensor series, it combines an adjustable sensing distance with an integrated relay output and built-in ON-delay timer.
The sensor provides an adjustable sensing range of 4–12 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its SPDT change-over relay output allows compatible control circuits and loads to be switched directly, while the built-in adjustable time delay makes it particularly useful for level-control and material-handling applications where nuisance or momentary detections need to be filtered.
With a nominal 24 V AC/DC supply, 2 m PVC cable, smooth cylindrical housing and IP67 ingress protection, the VC11RT92410M is well suited to industrial machinery, agricultural equipment, packaging systems and applications requiring reliable capacitive detection of non-metallic or metallic materials.

Adjustable Capacitive Detection with Integrated Relay Timing
Capacitive sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by the presence of a target material. This allows the VC11RT92410M to detect a wide variety of liquids, solids and granular products, making it particularly useful for level sensing through container walls, hopper monitoring and material-presence applications.
The integrated SPDT relay output and adjustable 1 s to 10 min ON-delay provide additional control flexibility. The delay can prevent brief or transient detections from immediately changing the relay state, helping stabilise control in filling, emptying and material-handling processes.
Typical Applications
- Liquid level detection and control.
- Powder and granular material monitoring.
- Hopper, silo and container level sensing.
- Agricultural material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Industrial presence and proximity detection.
- Applications requiring delayed relay switching.
- Machine building and OEM automation systems.
