SMARTpaddle capacitive sensor

1st January 2015

The Rechner SMARTPADDLE has no moving parts and is therefore not subject to wear or tear. It is ideal for applications where traditionally Rotary Switches, Vibrating Forks or Mechanical Switches are being used.

It cannot be easier. The user mounts the sensor, makes the electrical connection and the sensor is ready for use.

The advantages are obvious: easy installation, reliable level control and at the same time solving the well-known issues of mechanical systems being used today. No more down time due to false detections caused by material build-up, getting stuck between vibrating forks or around rotary switches, etc.

A variant with Easy Teach by Wire is an option for products where the dielectric constant is outside of the preset range.

The sensor‘s housing material, LCP, is very robust and also suitable for contact with food products. It has a G 1/2 inch process connection which can be used with a large range of accessories like welding brackets or "Varivent N DN 50" flanges that are offered by Rechner.

This capacitive level sensor is designed for the level control of bulk materials and liquids with a dielectric constant (DC) of er 2 to 80. It is media optimised and pre-adjusted, so that it can cover this large DC spectrum. An adjustment for the product to be detected simply is not necessary.
