EBE Capacitive Level Sensor for Liquids and Solids: Precision and Reliability for your Application

The capaTEC® level sensor is a capacitive, non-invasive sensor that has been specially developed for precise level measurement in liquids and solids. This EBE level sensor is ideal for OEM and high-volume products and impresses with its immediate readiness for use and reliability. The level sensor shows its strength particularly in aqueous liquids or those with high permittivity.

With an impressive measuring distance of up to 6 mm from the container, the EBE level sensor enables continuous and non-contact level measurement. This technology avoids direct contact with the medium, which makes complex structures on the tanks unnecessary and prevents contamination of the medium by the sensor. A particular advantage of this level sensor is its ease of implementation in various applications. The sensor, equipped with a standard plug connection, provides precise data over the entire measuring range of the electrodes using PWM or I2C.

The advantages of the capaTEC® level sensor at a glance:

  • Continuous level measurement of aqueous media with an air gap of up to 6 mm.
  • Non-contact and wear-free measurements for maximum reliability without direct contact with the medium.
  • Maintenance-free sensor solutions that work reliably even in the presence of contamination or biofilms.
  • Easy integration thanks to compact design and standard plug connection.
  • Various models, such as the LCPB025 with a 25 mm sensor area or the LCPB096 with a 96 mm 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 measures only the differential capacitance between the electrodes, which makes the level sensor particularly insensitive to interference. Thanks to integrated temperature and humidity compensation, it delivers precise measurement results even under fluctuating ambient conditions.
