Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi VC12RT92410M Capacitive Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi VC12RT92410M 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 VC12RT capacitive sensor series, it combines an adjustable sensing distance with an integrated SPDT change-over relay output and built-in OFF-delay timer.
This sensor provides an adjustable sensing range of 4–12 mm and is designed for non-flush mounting. Its relay output allows compatible control circuits and loads to be switched directly, while the adjustable 1 s to 10 min OFF-delay is particularly useful where the output needs to remain active for a set period after the target is no longer detected.
With a nominal 24 V AC/DC supply, 2 m PVC cable, smooth cylindrical plastic housing and IP67 protection, the VC12RT92410M is well suited to industrial level control, agricultural systems, packaging machinery and material-handling applications.

Adjustable Capacitive Detection with Integrated Relay Timing
Capacitive sensors detect changes in capacitance caused by the presence of a target material. This allows the VC12RT92410M to detect liquids, powders, granules and solid materials, making it particularly suitable for level monitoring in containers, hoppers and process equipment.
The integrated SPDT relay output and adjustable 1 s to 10 min OFF-delay provide additional control flexibility. The relay can remain energised for a defined period after the detected material leaves the sensing zone, helping to stabilise 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 release.
- Machine building and OEM automation systems.
