Product Overview
The SensorsX SX-LDNB Series provides capacitive point-level detection for liquids, powders and granular solids. Changes in capacitance are detected as the process material reaches the sensing probe and are converted into a switching output. With adjustable sensitivity and a range of electrode, mounting and temperature configurations, the series can be adapted to a wide variety of process applications.
