The ME80 capacitance switch utilises an anti-static probe for applications with high static probability, such as plastic pellets. A high-temperature variant is also available.
The ME Series is the first of a versatile range of capacitance technology products for material level switching to be introduced by Hycontrol. Traditional capacitance switches have a critical technology limitation that requires a specific transmitter or sensor depending upon the dielectric constant and conductance of the material monitored. As a result of a significant technological breakthrough, the ME Series uses the same transmitter and sensor for all applications. This technological advancement simplifies product selection, ordering, installation, maintenance, and spare parts stocking.
While the ME Series may be adjusted to suit specific process requirements, the factory settings are ideal for most applications. For example, a simple sensitivity adjustment (dip switch or potentiometer) may be required when sticky conductive materials are to be detected. Usually, you can mount it, wire it, and forget it!
