LCT-1000 Capacitance Level Sensor
The capacitance level sensors measure liquid levels using the principle of electrical
capacitance. These sensors consist of two electrodes that sore electrical energy, known as
capacitance, which directly depends on the volume and level of the liquid present between the
electrodes. The sensor accurately detects these capacitance variations caused by changes in the
volume of liquid and converts them into a precise and standardized electrical signal, effectively
indicating the exact liquid level. Equipped with a highly integrated capacitive measurement chip,
the sensor provides exceptional accuracy, stability, reliability, and continuous measurement
capability, further enhanced by precise temperature compensation and linearity adjustments.
