CAT-PT-LightCAP

The CAT-PT-LightCAP Capacitive Level Sensor combines all the advantages of level monitoring, temperature measurement and tank illumination in a single device. Designed for demanding industrial applications, it offers a reliable, flexible and robust solution for process monitoring.

The integrated PT100 temperature sensor located in the sensor tip enables accurate temperature monitoring, while the capacitive measurement technology ensures reliable level detection. In addition, four extremely bright LEDs integrated into the threaded base provide tank illumination up to a depth of 3000 mm, improving visibility during operation, maintenance and inspection.

The temperature signal is available through a dedicated M8 connector, allowing independent access to temperature data. The sensor is compatible with different amplifier systems and can be configured with various probe designs to suit specific application requirements.
