EBE CAPATEC Level Sensors for Precision and Reliability

With the capaTEC® level sensor, EBE sensors + motion offers a capacitive and non-invasive sensor for liquids and solids. This is ideal for OEM and high-volume products. Our planar, capacitive sensors are ready for immediate use and are particularly suitable for aqueous liquids or liquids with high permittivity.

The EBE capaTEC® level sensor is particularly suitable for aqueous liquids and those with high permittivity. With an impressive measuring distance of up to 6 mm to the tank, the sensor provides continuous, non-contact level measurement. It does not come into contact with the medium. This feature eliminates complex build-up on the tank container and contamination of the medium by the sensor. Easy implementation in various applications is an outstanding advantage of our level sensors. A printed circuit board, which can be attached directly to the tank, contains everything you need. The sensor is equipped with a common connector. It provides data over the entire measuring range of the electrodes via PWM or I2C.

The Advantages of EBE Level Sensors at a Glance:

• Detection of a continuous level of aqueous media with air gap up to 6 mm.
• Contact-free, wear-free and reliable measurements without direct contact with the medium.
• Maintenance-free sensor solutions that work reliably even in the presence of contamination or biofilms.
• Easy integration with other applications due to compact design and common connector.
• Different models, such as the LCPB025 with a 25mm sensor area or the LCPB096 with a 96mm sensor area, can be flexibly adapted to different requirements.

Our LCPB series of level sensors are based on the second generation of the patented capaTEC® technology. This innovative technology detects only the differential capacitance between the electrodes. This makes the sensors extremely insensitive to interference. The sensors have built-in temperature and humidity compensation. This enables them to deliver accurate measurements in fluctuating environmental conditions.

EBE Level Sensor Evaluation Kit – Quick Introduction to the Application

We offer the EBE level sensor evaluation kit for immediate readiness for use.

This includes:

• Sensors with the dimensions 25mm (38x25mm) and 96mm (33x100mm)
• JST plug-in connection incl. Interface-Box (5 V)

The data is transmitted via PWM, UART or I2C interface. This allows customers to test the performance of the level sensors in their own applications. 

Customer-Specific Level Sensors for Individual Projects:
EBE designs level sensors according to the specific requirements and characteristics of the customer’s application.
