KI0065 is an IFM capacitive sensor designed for position detection and level-monitoring applications. It provides a 15 mm adjustable sensing distance and uses a normally open output function. The sensor features a combined AC/DC output stage and a two-wire technology design. Its M30 x 1.5 threaded housing and 6 m PVC cable support practical industrial installation. KI0065 is suitable for automation, material detection, level monitoring and machine-control applications.
Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
KI0065 uses capacitive sensing to detect suitable objects and materials without physical contact. Its nominal sensing distance is 15 mm and the sensing distance is adjustable. The actual sensing range is specified as 15 ± 10%, with an operating distance of 0...12.1 mm. Correction factors are provided for materials including glass, water, ceramics and PVC. This makes the sensor suitable for different industrial detection requirements.
The sensor operates across a wide 20...250 V AC/DC voltage range. It uses a normally open output function and a two-wire connection arrangement. The specified permanent switching current is 200 mA, with higher values available under stated UL conditions. AC and DC switching frequencies are 25 Hz and 40 Hz respectively. Appropriate circuit protection should be provided according to the manufacturer's requirements.
KI0065 uses an M30 x 1.5 threaded housing with an 81 mm overall length. Its 6 m PVC cable provides extended connection length for suitable machine installations. The PBT housing and IP65 protection are intended for compatible industrial environments. A yellow LED provides switching-status indication. The sensor is suitable for position detection, level monitoring and industrial automation systems.
