Capacitive sensor

Capanivo® - CN 7100

Application area

The capacitive level detector Capanivo® 7100 is used as a full/demand or empty detector as well as for leakage detection in any kind of liquids. Due to its compact design, the sensor is ideal for small containers or tubes. Even aggressive media will be reliably detected due to the resistant materials. Even measurement from the outside and thus without direct contact with the medium is possible.
