Featuring a thin-profile rectangular housing, the CD46 Series proximity sensor is the latest expansion of the vendor’s third generation Tripleshield line of capacitive sensors.
These microprocessor-based sensors now provide a single push-button “teach mode” that allows the user to program the sensing range and output, eliminating the need for a potentiometer. The sensors also have a remote-teach wire, allowing them to be fully programmed from a remote location. Sensing range is up to 10mm and the housing is only 5.5mm thick. The sensors can be mounted directly on non-metallic surfaces via screws in diagonal mounting holes. The thin profile allows mounting on pipes with small diameters, using a retaining strap in guide rail on the sensor housing. The sensor can also be recessed into a tank wall and fastened with countersunk screws. List price for the CD46 Series is $130.
