KI0061 is an IFM capacitive sensor designed for detecting liquids and dry bulk materials. It provides a 20 mm sensing distance with an adjustable sensing range for application-specific setup. The sensor uses a normally closed output and supports adjustable output-hold timing. Its M30 x 1.5 threaded housing is suitable for non-flush industrial mounting. KI0061 is suitable for level monitoring, material detection and automation applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
KI0061 uses capacitive sensing to detect suitable materials without direct physical contact. It provides a nominal sensing distance of 20 mm with a real sensing range of 20 ± 10%. The sensing distance can be adjusted to suit the application. Capacitive detection is suitable for liquids and dry bulk materials. Correct positioning and calibration help maintain consistent detection performance.
KI0061 provides a normally closed switching output for compatible control systems. Its output hold time can be adjusted from 0 to 60 seconds. Potentiometers are provided for sensing-distance and binary-output-delay adjustment. A yellow LED indicates the switching status during operation. These controls allow the sensor to be configured for different machine requirements.
The sensor uses an M30 x 1.5 threaded housing with an overall length of 81 mm. Its PBT housing and non-flush mounting arrangement support industrial installation. The device is rated IP65/IP67 and is specified for an ambient temperature range of -25...80 °C. It is suitable for compatible liquid-level and dry-material monitoring applications. KI0061 is an archived article, with IFM listing KI0021 or KI6000 as alternatives.
