Datasheet - KQ1000

COO (Country of Origin):: DE

The ifm electronic continuous level sensor uses capacitive technology for precise measurement in non-metallic and non-conductive environments. Its compact design (250 x 28 x 16.7mm) facilitates easy installation in tight spaces, while IO-Link communication enhances integration and flexibility. Equipped with protective features like reverse polarity and overload protection, this sensor ensures reliable performance for both bulk materials and liquids.

Continuous level measurement behind non-metallic and non-conductive surfaces

No stress caused by the medium thanks to non-contact detection

Three point level sensors in one unit

Deposits can be detected and signalled to improve quality of the process
