Description

The CCJ-A18-8ANB capacitive proximity sensor operates by detecting changes in capacitance caused by the presence of a target object, enabling reliable detection of non-conductive materials without physical contact. Its dedicated IC ensures stable operation with excellent immunity to electrical noise and interference common in industrial environments.

Built into a robust M18 threaded metal housing, the sensor is designed for durability in automation applications. It includes built-in polarity and short-circuit protection for enhanced system safety and longevity. The adjustable sensitivity potentiometer allows for precise tuning to accommodate different material types and environmental conditions.

Key Features

  • Capacitive sensing technology for non-metallic object detection.
  • NPN (sinking) output configuration for standard PLC integration.
  • 8mm nominal sensing distance for precise proximity detection.
  • M18 x 1mm threaded barrel for secure mechanical installation.
  • Integrated sensitivity adjustment potentiometer for application optimization.
  • Red LED status indicator for immediate visual feedback.
  • Built-in protection against reverse polarity and output short-circuits.
  • High-reliability design for long-term operation in industrial settings.

Applications

  • Level detection in plastic or glass tanks for liquids, granules, or powders.
  • Presence sensing of non-metallic packaging (bottles, cartons) on conveyor lines.
  • Material level monitoring in hoppers and silos for food, chemical, or pharmaceutical industries.
  • Object counting and positioning in automated assembly and packaging machinery.
  • Proximity detection for safety interlocks and limit switches in automated equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of objects can this capacitive sensor detect?

This capacitive proximity sensor is specifically designed to detect non-metallic objects, such as plastics, glass, liquids, powders, and wood. It senses changes in dielectric constant, making it unsuitable for detecting purely metallic targets, which are better served by inductive sensors.

What is the required supply voltage and how do I wire the NPN output?

The sensor typically operates on a 10-30V DC supply. The NPN output is a sinking type; connect the brown wire to DC+, blue wire to DC-, and the black output wire to your PLC input or load. The load is then connected back to DC+. Ensure polarity is correct as per the sensor's markings.

How do I adjust the sensor's sensitivity and what is the purpose of the LED?

Use a small screwdriver to turn the sensitivity adjustment potentiometer located on the sensor body. Rotate clockwise to increase sensitivity (detect objects farther away) and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The integrated red LED illuminates when the sensor is powered and flashes or stays solid upon target detection, providing clear operational status.
