QF5.5

This is the new flat style capacitive sensor from TURCK. This sensor is small in

size, but long on range. It measures only 5.5 millimeters in width and has an

embeddable sensing range of 10 millimeters. The sensor housing is overmolded

with a rugged polypropylene material and is available with or without

potentiometer.

Q10

This is another addition to the growingQ-Pak line. The Q10 fits in size between

the 8 mm and 14 mm low profile sensors. The Q10 is available in DC only with

a fixed 8-millimeter range without potentiometer.

K34 Barrels

TURCKnow has 34-millimeter diameter capacitive sensors in smooth barrel

plastic housings. They are available in 2-wire AC, 3-wire DC and 4-wire DC

with variable output options. We also offer the BS-34 mounting bracket that

allows for base mounting or side mounting options.

BCF Noise Immune Capacitive Sensors

The new BCF capacitive sensors are designed to be used in environments

where electrical noise and high static discharge may exist. Improvements made

to the circuitry of our printed circuit board has allowed for increased protection

against radio frequency, high voltage transients, line coupled noise and surges.

Package Inspection

One of the major benefits of capacitive sensors

is their ability to sense through low-dielectric

materials. With the sensitivity properly

adjusted, these sensors can be used to see

through an object wall to detect its contents.

From inspecting jars through a cardboard box

to sensing ammonia in a vat - capacitive

sensors are made for these applications. In

addition, capacitive sensors have the ability to

sense most materials including wood, plastics,

cardboard, glass, grain, all metals and most

fluids. The versatility of these sensors can helpyou save time and run more efficiently.

Grain and Plastic Pellet Detection

The wide sensitivity band ofTURCKsensors

allows for detection of a variety of granular or

powdered materials. Capacitive sensors arewidely used to monitor the level of plastic

pellets in the hoppers of injection molding

machines. TURCKs new BCF line of

sensors are ideal for this application.

TURCKIntrinsically Safe NAMUR sensors are

also used in grain elevators to monitor the

levels of materials ranging from rice and barley

malt to corn and soybeans.

Small Parts Detection

Another great use for capacitive sensors is to detect small items as they

come down the assembly line. They can be used to count product or

sense proper operation of the line. Choose from many styles with

short-circuit and overload protection in AC, DC and Intrinsically Safe

NAMUR.

Wire Break Detection

TURCKcapacitive sensors are ideal for

sensing wire breakage. Our sensors will

detect even the smallest wires of anymetal. The long sensing ranges allow

the wire to bounce during the process

without causing false outputs.

Liquid Level Detection

Capacitive sensors have the ability to see through lower dielectric materials, such

as plastic or glass, to detect higher dielectric ones. This allows capacitive sensors to detec

levels of many types of materials either directly through the wall for plastic tanks, or by

utilizing a sight glass or tank well for metal tanks. With TURCKs Intrinsically Safe NAMU

sensors, PVDF models and Teflon tank wells, even explosive or corrosive materials can

safely sensed.

You may know thatTURCKhas the broadest product offering in inductive sensors, but d

you also know that we have the most extensive line of capacitive sensors?

TURCKs Q-Pak capacitive

sensors are available in packages up

to 10 times narrower than

conventional barrel-style sensors.

Also our PVDF sensors offerincredible resistance to harsh

chemical environments found in

the semiconductor and chemical

industries.

Sensitivity Adjustments

Many applications require adjusting the sensitivity of thecapacitive sensor in order to reliably detect the target

material.

Although the potentiometer is factory set for an operating

distance of 0.7 to 0.8 times the rated operating distance, it

can be easily changed. Some sensors even feature a

remote potentiometer, allowing adjustments to be made

in locations away from the sensor.

MostTURCKcapacitive sensors are listed as embeddable.

By increasing the sensitivity, the embeddable sensor can

be changed into a non-embeddable version with

enhanced sensing capabilities.

TURCKCapacitive Sensor - Principles of Operation

Noise Immunity

Capacitive sensors were originally designed for use in level detection applications in areas that were generally far away from other

electrical equipment. As factory automation has become more prevalent throughout industrial markets, these capacitive sensors

have gravitated into new environments where electrical noise levels are greatly increased. Electrical noise can be produced by

various sources including variable frequency drives, electromechanical motors and standard walkie-talkie devices. These noisy

environments can have adverse effects on sensing devices causing them to operate improperly and unreliably

TURCKrecognizes this and has developed a new circuit for its capacitive sensors. These new BCF sensors incorporate a

unique filter principle, making them immune to most industrial noise. This principle involves a fixed oscillator frequency

combined with a rectifier filter providing superior noise immunity over the competition.

TURCKs fixed oscillator allows the sensor to maintain a constant frequency regardless of sensitivity adjustment. This fixed

frequency is high enough to ignore most of the standard noise levels seen on plant floors

Electrical noise is mostly symmetrical which makes it easier to identify and separate from the sensors input signal. The TURCK

rectifier filter is able to block this noise allowing only the useful input signal, which is in phase with the oscillator frequency, to

pass.

These two innovative electrical techniques give TURCKthe best defense against industrial noise. The list of specifications and test

results below demonstrates how TURCKmeets or exceeds all of the rigid standards established by CE. In fact, the criteria set

forth by CE is so stringent that most capacitive sensors offered on the market today cannot pass any or all of these testing

requirements. If you have a capacitive sensor application located in a noisy environment choose the new BCF sensors from

TURCKto ensure your process operates smoothly.

Figure 1

Figure 2

The active element is formed by two metallic electrodes positioned much like an opened capacitor (Figure 1).Electrodes A and B are placed in a feedback loop of a high frequency oscillator. When no target is present, thesensors capacitance is low, therefore the oscillation amplitude is small. When a target approaches the face of thesensor, it increases the capacitance. This increase in capacitance results in an increased amplitude of oscillation.The amplitude of oscillation is measured by an evaluating circuit that generates a signal to turn on or off the output(Figure 2).

Sensitivity Adjustment

Figure 5 Standard Target

Capacitive sensors can be adjusted two ways in order to sense a target consistently.

1. Physical adjustment - moving the sensor towards or away from the target is the preferred method of adjusting sensitivitywhen the sensor is not in direct contact with the target. This allows materials to be moved into or out of range whileleaving the sensor at the factory setting or after re-calibration to the nominal operating distance Sn.

2. Adjustment of the potentiometer - turning the potentiometer in a clockwise direction increases the sensitivity of thesensor. The potentiometer is factory-set for an operating distance of 0.7 to 0.8 Sn to a grounded standard target(Figure 5). It should be adjusted in increments of no greater than a quarter-turn (Figure 6). Increasing the sensitivityresults in a greater operating distance to both conductive and non-conductive targets.

Figure 7

In general terms, the larger the dielectricconstant of a material, the greater theachievable operating distance.

When detecting organic materials thesensing distance will depend largely onthe water content ( water = 88).

When sensing non-conductive targets, the larger the dielectric constant of a material, the greater the achievableoperating distance (Figure 7). Adjusting the potentiometer affects the total curve; for example, if the potentiometer isadjusted for less sensitivity, it will have less operating distance to all materials.

It should be noted that a large increase in sensitivity will cause the sensor to become nonembeddable, and may resultin an unstable switching point that can be influenced by environmental changes such as temperature, humidity, dust,etc.

At adjustments of S > Sn, the differential travel (hysteresis) can also increase.

Example Application 2 - Mounting

Problem:

A metal tank containing a water-based solution has a 1" outsidediameter sight glass. What sensor and bracket could be used formonitoring the liquid level?

Solution:The QF 5.5 flat style can used on non-conductivetubing up to 1.0 inch in diameter with the standardmounting straps provided with the sensor (Figure 8).

Other mounting straps for larger diameters are availableupon request (consult factory).

Example Application 1 - Adjustment

Problem:Can aBC20-K40SR-FZ3X2 be used to sense the presence of ammonia from behind a .125" glass panel?

Solution:The dielectric constants for these materials can be found on pages 15 and 16.

Dielectric ( r) of ammonia: 20Dielectric ( r) of glass: 10

From Figure 7, r = 20 corresponds to 80% Sn; r = 10 corresponds to 60% Sn.

Since Sn = 20 mm for aBC20: S for ammonia = 16 mmS for glass = 12 mm

The difference is 4 mm. The glass thickness = .125", or 3.1 mm. This application will work with a 0.9 mm

margin. This means that by adjusting the potentiometer there should be a reasonable distinction between theglass and the ammonia as seen by the sensor.

To set up the sensor for this application, the sensing face of the sensor should be flush against the sight glass.

1. With no ammonia present (if possible) turn the potentiometer clockwise until the sensor turns on. If thesensor is

already on, skip step one.2. Next, turn the potentiometer counter clockwise until the sensor turns off.3. Now add the ammonia so that it covers the glass panel.4. Once again, turn the potentiometer counter clockwise, counting the number of turns until the sensor turnsoff.*5. Divide the number of turns by two and turn the potentiometer back clockwise that amount.

Using this process will allow for a margin of error in either direction. If this application had called forsomething other than ammonia, like molasses, that tends to leave buildup behind, step 1 above should beperformed with the buildup present(if possible).* If sensor does not turn off after 10 full turns, turn back the potentiometer clockwise between 3 to 5 turns.Minor adjustments may need to be made to achieve desired setting.

Mounting

Figure 9

Figure 10 Temperature Influence on Operating Distance

Most capacitive sensors manufactured byTURCKareembeddable, which ensures that the electric field is onlyeffective in front of the active face. They are suitable for flushmounting at the factory setting in any material (conductive &nonconductive).

When sensors are flush mounted, the effect on the operatingdistance is minimal and can be overcome by adjustment of thepotentiometer. Minimum separation distances must beobserved to avoid the possibility of interference between thetwo sensors fields.

Compensation Electrode

In practice, sensors can be affected by water droplets, humidity, dust, etc.,causing false outputs. To combat this effect eachTURCKsensorincorporates a compensating electrode (C) which forms part of a negativefeedback circuit (Figure 9).

When contaminants are on the sensor face, they affect the sensors mainfield, as well as its compensation field. The negative feedback circuitdetects the increase in both fields, and can filter out the effects of thecontaminants.

When a large target comes into the sensors main field, the compensationfield is not affected, thus the negative feedback circuit can distinguish a

difference between the two fields, and the sensor generates an output.

Temperature and Environmental Conditions

Operating Distance (Sensing Range) Considerations

The assured actuating range is between 0 and 72% of the rated operating distance. It is the range within which the correct

operation of the proximity sensor under specified voltage and temperature ranges is assured.

An earth-grounded square piece of carbon steel having a thickness of 1 mm (0.04 in) is used as a standard target todetermine the following operating tolerances. The length and width of the square is equal to three times the ratedoperating distance.

The operating distance is the distance at which the target approaching the sensing face along the reference axis causes theoutput signal to change.

The rated operating distance is a conventional quantity used to designate the operating distance. It does not take intoaccount either manufacturing tolerances or variations due to external conditions such as voltage and temperature.

The effective operating distance is the operating distance of an individual proximity sensor at a constant rated voltage and

23C (73F). It allows for manufacturing tolerances.

The usable operating distance is the operating distance of an individual proximity sensor measured over the operatingtemperature range at 85% to 110% of its rated voltage. It allows for external conditions and for manufacturing tolerances.

The operating distance (S) of the different models is basically a function of the diameter of the sensing coil. Maximumoperating distance is achieved with the use of a standard or larger target. Rated operating distance (Sn) for each model is

given in the manual.

Assured Operating Range = Sa 0 Sa 0.72Sn

Standard Target

Operating Distance = S

Rated Operating Distance = Sn

Effective Operating Distance = Sr 0.9 Sn Sr 1.1Sn

Usable Operating Distance = Su 0.72 Sn Su 1.32Sn
