The KI0024 is an AC/DC capacitive sensor with selectable normally open or normally closed output. It provides a 15 mm adjustable sensing range with a 0–12.1 mm operating distance. The sensor operates from 20–250 V AC/DC and supports 25 Hz AC or 40 Hz DC switching. Its M30 × 1.5 threaded housing has a 125 mm length. Terminal connection, IP65 protection, and increased RF immunity support industrial process installations.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The KI0024 provides a 15 mm adjustable sensing range. Its real sensing range is 15 ±10%. The operating distance is 0–12.1 mm. A potentiometer provides sensing-range adjustment. This makes the sensor suitable for applications where switching points need periodic adjustment.
The output can be configured as normally open or normally closed. The sensor operates from 20–250 V AC/DC. It supports 200 mA continuous output current. AC switching frequency is 25 Hz, while DC switching reaches 40 Hz. Short-circuit and overload protection are not provided.
The KI0024 uses terminal connection rather than a fixed cable. Terminals support conductors up to 2.5 mm². The cable gland is M20 × 1.5 with a 7–13 mm cable sheath range. Two lock nuts are supplied. The 137 g sensor uses PBT, PC, and PPE material elements.

The KI0024 is suitable for dry bulk solids and fluids. Capacitive detection enables non-contact sensing. The adjustable range allows the switching point to be adapted to material conditions. The selectable output supports different control logic. This makes the sensor flexible for conventional automation systems.
The terminal connection allows field wiring to be adapted to the installation. The M20 × 1.5 cable gland supports compatible cable sizes. The M30 × 1.5 thread provides secure mechanical mounting. Increased RF immunity helps maintain operation in electrically noisy environments. IP65 protection supports general industrial installation.
