Product Description
The CA30CA.. capacitive
proximity switches feature an
improved 4TH generation TRIPLESHIELDTM
technology.
Furthermore, these sensors
feature increased immunity
to electromagnetic interference (EMI), especially to frequency drives. Not only does
4TH generation TRIPLESHIELDTM feature an increased
EMI, but it also increases
the immunity to humidity and
dust. The implementation of
stability indication eases the
setup procedure, as both
Stable ON and Stable OFF
positions are indicated by
Ordering Key
the green and yellow LEDs.
The sensing distance is
increased by 20 – 25 %
allowing room for additional
stable detection.
The dust alarm function
gives an early warning that
the sensing surroundings
have to be cleaned.
The temperature alarm function raises an alarm if the
sensing surface goes beyond
60 degree Celsius.
The sensor housing is featuring IP69K as well as approval
by ECOLAB for cleaning and
disinfection agents.

* The IP69K test according to DIN 40050-9 for high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down applications.
The sensor must not only be dust tight (IP6X), but also able to withstand high-pressure and steam cleaning.
The sensor is exposed to high-pressure water from a spray nozzle that is fed with 80°C water at 8’000–
10’000 KPa (80–100bar) and a flow rate of 14–6L/min. The nozzle is held 100 –150 mm from the sensor at
angles of 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° for 30s each. The test device sits on a turntable that rotates with a speed of 5
times per minute. The sensor must not suffer any damaging effects from the high pressure water in appearance and function.

Adjustment Guide
The environments in which
capacitive
sensors
are
installed can often be unstable as regards temperature,
humidity, object distance
and industrial (noise) interference. This is why Carlo
Gavazzi offers, as a stand-
ard feature in all TRIPLESHIELD™ capacitive sensors,
a user-friendly sensitivity
adjustment instead of a fixed
sensing range. Likewise,
these sensors provide an
extended sensing range to
accommodate mechanically
demanding areas and temperature stability to ensure
high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and a
minimum need for adjusting
sensitivity if the temperature
varies.
Note:
The sensors are factory set
(default) to nominal sensing
range Sn.

Installation Hints
Capacitive sensors have a
unique ability to detect al
most any material in liquid or
solid form. Capa
ci
tive sensors are able to detect me
tallic as well as non-metallic
objects. However, their traditional use is for non-metallic
materials such as:
• Plastics Industry
Resins, regrinds or mould
ed products.
To avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch power cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables
• Chemical Industry
Cleansers, fertilizers, liquid soaps, corrosives and
petrochemicals.
• Wood Industry
Saw dust, paper products,
door and window frames.
• Ceramics & Glass
Industry
Raw materials, clay or
finished products, bottles.
Relief of cable strain
• Packaging Industry
Package inspection for level or contents, dry goods,
fruits and vegetables, dairy
products.
Materials are detected due to
their dielectric constant. The
bigger the size of an object,
the higher the density of ma
terial, the better or easier it is
to detect the object.
The nominal sensing distan
ce for a capacitive sensor
is referred to a grounded
metal plate (ST37). For addi
tional information regarding
dielectric ratings of materials please refer to Technical
Information.
