Working principle
Use the sensing rod to detect the capacitance between the sensing rod and the barrel wall with the object to be measured as the medium. When the sensing rod is covered by the material, the capacitance increases gradually. When the matching value of the circuit set inside the switch is reached, the circuit generates high-frequency resonance. Use this resonance signal to convert the switching action.
Adjustment method
The products are tested and calibrated before leaving the factory, and no adjustment is required for general use. However, there are products with lengthened induction rods, which must be re- calibrated before leaving the factory.
