CM12 Capacitive Proximity Switch utilizes the blocking, covering, or reflecting of the light beam between the light source and the photosensitive device to achieve detection of objects.
When connecting to power supply, RC oscillator does not work. When an object is clos eto capacitor electrode, the capacitor capacity will increase, and the oscillator will vibrate. Through the treatment of behind stage circuit, both signals of stop oscillation and oscillation will be converted to switch signs for checking the existence of object. this distance can be obtained, but to nonmetal object, the action distance is d etermined by material dielectric constant, the more dielectric constant, the more action distance will be obtained.
