CAPACITANCE TYPE
CAP-150 Series - Capacitive Level Sensor
 For non-metallic containers
 Non-intrusive level sensing
 Optional Sight Glass Bracket
 Potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment
The CAP-150 series offers a unique level sensing solution for a wide variety of bottle types
including plastic, glass and fiberglass. The non-contact sensor is ideally suited for medical
applications such as waste, reagent or diluent liquids as well as dark, sticky or viscous
fluids. The easy-to-calibrate sensor is available in both aqueous and non-aqueous versions
and can be delivered with factory preset sensitivity for quick installation for OEM orders.
The CAP-150 may also be used as a proximity sensor to detect the presence of solids such
as pulp and paper.
