October 2014 CARLO
GAVAZZI is proud to announce the launch of their new 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELD CA30CA Capacitive
Proximity Sensors. In addition
to greatly improved immunity to dust, humidity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI),
the CA30CA Series includes diagnostic alarms and two LEDs for better reliability and
simplified troubleshooting during installation.

The Carlo Gavazzi TRIPLESHIELD design, now in its 4th generation, continues a
tradition of providing the best EMI immunity of any capacitive sensor on the market. In
addition to improved compensation for dust and humidity, an optional Dust Alarm
Output gives an early warning of accumulation on the face of the sensor. The CA30CA Series is designed for harsh environments, providing IP67
and IP69K protection, ECOLAB approval for chemical resistance, and rated to withstand
temperatures up to 248ºF (120°C) on the sensing face. An optional Temperature
Alarm Output warns the user if the sensing face surface exceeds 140ºF (60°C).
