ifm’s KI6000 M30-diameter and KG6000 M18-diameter capacitive proximity sensor provides accurate level detection of solid
and liquid materials. A unique 13-LED bar display indicates signal
strength and switch point and is visible from long distances.
Potentiometer adjustment
The set-up process is simplified by using two potentiometers.
With the top potentiometer, the sensor’s output can be easily
changed from normally open to normally closed, providing
flexibility of one sensor solving multiple applications. The other
potentiometer adjusts the sensitivity of the sensor and allows the
sensor to be precisely tuned to the application. The switch point
is always indicated in the center of the 13-LED display. Green
LEDs on either side of the switch point indicate the strength of
the signal and can alert the user if conditions have changed,
build-up is occurring, or if more material needs to be delivered.
Improved noise immunity
This sensor offers superior immunity to electrical noise. ifm’s
capacitive sensors incorporate sensing electrodes and patented
circuitry to detect low-moisture, low-density materials. Combined, these innovations enable the sensors to perform
in today’s plastic processing applications.
NO/NC output adjustable via potentiometer
Additional features including on/off delays
via IO-Link
The KI6000 /
KG6000 capacitive
proximity ­sensor is
ideal for position
sensing of non-metallic objects, such as
plastic, glass, wood
and paper.
The capacitive
technology can be
used as a point-level
sensor. It can be
mounted directly to
the wall of a tank to
indicate tank empty
or tank full.
For harsh environments
The sensor’s robust plastic h
­ ousing is designed to prevent liquid
ingress and is rated IP69K. It is available with an M12 quick
disconnect connector.
