Wear-Free Structure & Ultra-Long Service Life
Fully electronic non-contact detection structure eliminates mechanical moving parts such as floating balls and connecting rods. It is free from mechanical wear, liquid scaling adhesion and structural fatigue failure caused by frequent liquid level fluctuations. It can adapt to long-term repeated start-stop operation of household and commercial equipment, greatly reducing equipment failure rate and after-sales maintenance costs.
Strong Compatibility & High Safety
The whole machine adopts food-grade safe materials and fully sealed insulation design, with waterproof, dustproof and leakage-proof performance, meeting the safety standards of household and commercial electrical appliances. It supports multiple universal signal outputs, which can be seamlessly matched with mainstream appliance control boards and intelligent control systems, featuring strong anti-electromagnetic interference ability and stable operation in complex electrical working environments.
Working Principle
The CL-305 capacitive liquid sensor works based on the principle of dielectric constant difference induction. The sensor's built-in induction electrode forms a stable electric field with the equipment shell or reference electrode. Air and liquid have completely different dielectric constants; when the liquid level rises to contact the sensor induction area, the overall capacitance value of the sensor changes instantly and linearly. The high-precision intelligent chip captures subtle capacitance variations in real time, converts liquid level height changes into standard switch or analog signals, and outputs accurate level judgment data. This non-contact induction method realizes real-time, stable and continuous liquid level monitoring without direct contact with the liquid medium, avoiding medium pollution and sensor corrosion.
