KI0063 is an IFM capacitive sensor designed for detecting liquids and dry bulk materials. It features a programmable sensing range and integrated programming buttons for convenient setup. The sensor provides selectable normally open and normally closed output functionality. Its M30 x 1.5 threaded housing supports practical industrial installation. KI0063 is suitable for level detection, material monitoring and automated process applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
KI0063 uses capacitive sensing technology for detecting suitable liquids and dry bulk materials. Its sensing range is programmable from 5 to 40 mm. The factory setting is 20 mm, with a real sensing range of 20 ± 10%. Capacitive operation allows detection through suitable non-metallic container walls and bypass arrangements. Proper setup is important for reliable material detection.
The sensor includes programming buttons that simplify sensing-range configuration. Its output can be selected between normally open and normally closed operation. The integrated LED ring provides visible switching-status indication. The sensor also supports teach functionality and electronic locking. These features make commissioning and subsequent maintenance more convenient.
KI0063 has an M30 x 1.5 threaded housing and 90 mm overall length. It supports 30...250 V AC and 20...250 V DC operation. IP65/IP67 protection is specified for suitable industrial operating environments. The product is identified by IFM as a phase-out article, with KI0054 or KI6000 listed as alternatives. Technical data should be checked before selecting an alternative product.
