Rechner Capacitive Long Distance (KXS)
Rechner (KXS/KXA) Capacitive Sensors have an extremely long sensing distance and are based on the three electrode measuring principle. This measuring principle provides a much larger sensing distance compared to the two electrode principle of common capacitive sensors (KAS), up to 10-times the norm.
Rechner KXS systems are used for applications where the sensing distances of standard sensors are not sufficient. A further feature of the Rechner KXS is the Duplex- or Triplex-operation. With the corresponding evaluation unit it is possible to adjust 1, 2 or 3 switching points with only one sensor.
The Rechner KXS/KXA series of capacitive sensors can be used for level monitoring of liquids, pastes or bulk material, including measurement through non-metal partitions; overflow protection and filling level control material with low dielectric or low density. They can also be used as limit switches, contact-less position switches for monitoring and positioning, as pulse generator for counting tasks and numerous other applications.
