Product catalog summary
Overview
This document provides technical specifications and operational details for capacitive proximity sensors, specifically models VC11RT, VC12RT, and VC12RN. These sensors are designed for detecting solid, fluid, or granulated substances with adjustable sensing distances and optional time delay features.

Specifications
  • Sensing Distance: Adjustable between 4-12 mm.
  • Supply Voltage Options: 120 VAC, 230 VAC, and 24 VAC/DC.
  • Power Consumption: Maximum 1.5 W.
  • Output: Relay SPDT, 2 A/240 VAC with yellow LED indication for output ON.
  • Time Delay: Adjustable from 1 second to 10 minutes for models VC11/12RT.
  • Environmental Protection: IP 67 rating, operating temperature range from -20º to +70ºC.
  • Housing Material: Thermoplastic polyester.
  • Approvals: CSA (only with OFF delay), CE-marking.

Mode of Operation
  • VC11RT: The sensor activates a relay after a set time delay when the sensor is triggered. The relay remains released until reactivation.
  • VC12RN: The relay remains ON until the sensor is activated, at which point it releases.
  • VC12RT: The relay operates after a set time delay and remains connected until the sensor is activated.

Installation and Adjustment
  • Includes a capacitive switch, screwdriver, and user manual.
  • Installation involves mounting through the wall of a tank.
  • Adjustments can be made for sensing distance and time delay using the provided tools.

Additional Information
  • Wiring diagrams and operation diagrams are provided for clarity on connections and sensor operations.
  • The document emphasizes the suitability of these sensors for agricultural applications, such as detecting grains and fluids.

Thermoplastic Polyester Types VC11RT, VC12RT, VC12RN-2

2 Specifications are subject to change without notice (20.08.01) Mode of Operation VC11RT (See operation diagram). Power supply is applied to the sensor (brown and blue cables). When sensor is not activated, the relay operates (connection between black and yellow cables) and LED lights. When sensor is activated the time measurement starts and LED flashes. After expiration of the set time (0-10 min.), the relay releases (connection between black and grey cables) and LED turns off. The relay remains released until sensor is activated again. VC12RN (See operation diagram). Power supply is applied...
