Capacitive sensor
RFnivo® - RF 8200
Application area
The capacitive level detector RFnivo® RF 8200 is used in storage and process vessels as a full, demand and empty detector in all liquids from a DK value of 1.5. It can generally be used at process temperatures up to +400 °C and process overpressure up to 35 bar. Its “Active Shield” function ensures reliable functionality of the sensor against any buildup.
