KI0054 is an IFM capacitive sensor designed for detecting liquids and dry bulk materials in industrial applications. Its sensing range can be programmed between 5 and 40 mm using the integrated programming buttons. The sensor supports selectable normally open and normally closed output operation for flexible machine integration. Its M30 threaded housing provides a robust installation format for suitable equipment. KI0054 is particularly suitable for level detection through non-metallic container walls and bypass pipes.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
KI0054 uses capacitive measurement technology to detect changes caused by suitable materials near the sensing face. It can be used for detecting liquids as well as dry bulk materials. The programmable sensing range allows the sensor to be adapted to different installation conditions. The factory sensing-range setting is 20 mm, with an actual sensing range of 20 ± 10%. This makes the sensor suitable for a range of level and presence-monitoring applications.
The sensor includes programming buttons that allow convenient adjustment of the sensing range. Its output function can be configured as normally open or normally closed. Seven programmable output-hold times are available on the related configuration. A yellow LED ring provides clear switching-status indication during operation. Electronic locking helps prevent unintended parameter changes after setup.
KI0054 is specifically suited to detecting materials through non-metallic container walls or bypass pipes. It can detect dry bulk materials and liquids in compatible installations. The M30 x 1.5 threaded housing provides a practical mounting solution for industrial equipment. IP65/IP67 protection supports use in suitable industrial environments. The sensor is useful for level monitoring, material presence detection and automated process control.
