KF5001 Applications
The IFM KF5001 is a compact capacitive sensor used for position detection and level monitoring of dry bulk material and liquids. It is suited for detecting fill levels in small hoppers and pipes, part-present checks, and sensing non-metallic objects in factory automation. The robust stainless steel M12 housing suits harsh environments, the sensing range is set easily from 1...6 mm via potentiometer, high noise immunity gives stable switching, and a clearly visible LED indicates switching status.
What is the sensing range of the IFM KF5001 capacitive sensor?
The KF5001 has an adjustable sensing range of 1...6 mm, with a factory setting of 4 mm.
What can the IFM KF5001 detect?
The KF5001 detects both dry bulk material and liquids, with correction factors such as water 1.0, glass 0.6, ceramics 0.5 and PVC 0.4.
What output does the IFM KF5001 have?
The KF5001 has a single PNP normally open output, with a permanent current rating of 100 mA DC and a maximum voltage drop of 2.5 V DC.
What is the switching frequency of the IFM KF5001?
The KF5001 has a switching frequency of 50 Hz DC.
What operating voltage and current does the IFM KF5001 use?
The KF5001 runs on 10...36 V DC and consumes less than 12 mA.
What is the housing of the IFM KF5001?
The KF5001 has a threaded M12 x 1 housing, 60 mm long, made of stainless steel (316L/1.4404) with a PEEK sensing face. It weighs 39.3 g.
What is the IP rating and operating temperature of the IFM KF5001?
The KF5001 is rated IP 65 with an ambient temperature range of -25...70 degrees C.
How is the IFM KF5001 adjusted and connected?
The KF5001 has 1 potentiometer for adjustment and a yellow LED for switching status, and connects via one M12 A-coded connector with 3 contacts. It includes short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.
