Description
The IFM KI0054 is a capacitive proximity sensor designed for reliable detection of liquids, dry bulk materials, and other non‑metallic substances. It features easy adjustment to empty and full states via a pushbutton, making it well‑suited for level detection tasks in tanks, hoppers, and containers. The sensor uses a two‑wire AC/DC output stage with a programmable normally open or normally closed function, allowing flexible integration into control systems. Its non‑flush M30 housing, 40 mm sensing range, and IP65/IP67 protection support stable operation in demanding industrial environments.
Features
- Capacitive sensing principle — detects solids, liquids, powders, and non‑metallic materials.
- Adjustable sensing range — configurable via potentiometer or teach button for flexible setup.
- Wide operating voltage — supports 30–250 V AC and 20–250 V DC, making it compatible with many systems.
- 2‑wire AC/DC output — simplifies wiring and supports NO/NC switching.
- Unshielded M30 housing — provides extended sensing distance and easier detection through container walls.
- High noise immunity — stable performance in electrically noisy industrial environments.
- Durable construction — PBT housing with IP65/IP67/IP69K protection for harsh or washdown conditions.
- Suitable for level and position detection — commonly used on tanks, sight glasses, and bulk material handling.
