KI5085 Capacitive Threaded Sensor 10 to 30 VDC PNP Overview A compact capacitive sensor in a threaded housing designed for reliable presence detection of solids and liquids. Operates from 10 to 30 VDC and uses a PNP output for direct integration with control systems that accept sourcing signals. unit, ready for straightforward installation in industrial automation and sensing applications. Key benefits Reliable detection: Capacitive sensing detects both conductive and nonconductive materials, enabling monitoring of items through nonmetallic containers and direct detection of parts, liquids, and bulk materials. Flexible power range: Wide 10 to 30 VDC supply voltage simplifies compatibility with common industrial power systems. Control system friendly: PNP output provides a sourcing signal type commonly accepted by PLCs and automation controllers for easy wiring and integration. Space efficient and mountable: Threaded housing enables secure, repeatable mounting and alignment in confined or panelmounted locations. condition: Delivered as a sensor for dependable initial performance and long service life when used according to recommended operating conditions. Features and specifications Model: KI5085 Sensor type: Capacitive Mounting: Threaded housing for secure mechanical installation Supply voltage: 10 to 30 VDC Output type: PNP (sourcing) Condition: Practical applications Level monitoring: Detects liquid or bulk material levels inside nonmetallic tanks or hoppers where optical or float sensors are unsuitable. Packaging and conveyor systems: Senses presence of products through plastic film or packaging, enabling automated counting, rejection, or positioning operations. Assembly and end of line detection: Confirms presence of components or fixtures, including nonmetal parts, prior to the next production step. Installation and compatibility notes Threaded mounting provides stable positioning and repeatable sensing distance once aligned. PNP output is suitable for direct connection to controllers and input modules that accept sourcing signals. Verify input type on your controller prior to wiring. Use appropriate wiring and protection consistent with the 10 to 30 VDC operating range and your system requirements. Why choose this model This threaded capacitive sensor offers versatile material detection in a compact, mountable form with a wide operating voltage and a PNP output for straightforward integration. It is suitable for applications that require throughcontainer sensing, nondestructive part detection, and reliable level sensing in industrial environments. Compatibility reminder Confirm that your control system or input module accepts PNP sourcing outputs and that the available supply voltage falls within 10 to 30 VDC before installation.
