The KI0020 is an AC/DC capacitive sensor with a normally closed output. It provides a 15 mm adjustable sensing range and a 0–12.1 mm operating distance. The sensor operates from 20–250 V AC/DC with 25 Hz AC and 40 Hz DC switching. Its M30 × 1.5 PBT housing is designed for non-flush mounting. A yellow LED, 2 m PVC cable, and IP65 protection support conventional industrial automation.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KI0020 uses a 15 mm adjustable sensing range. The factory setting is 15 mm. The real sensing range is 15 ±10%. Its operating distance is 0–12.1 mm. Correction factors support glass, water, ceramics, and PVC targets.
The sensor uses a normally closed AC/DC output. It supports 250 mA continuous current under standard conditions. The short-time current rating is 1500 mA. AC switching frequency is 25 Hz and DC switching frequency is 40 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are not provided.
The M30 × 1.5 housing provides a threaded installation format. The sensor has an 81 mm dimensional length. Its PBT housing provides an industrial plastic construction. A yellow LED indicates switching status. The 2 m PVC cable provides two-wire connection.
