EBE sensors + motion offers a powerful solution for continuous, contactless level detection of various media, even for larger filling heights, with its new sensor platform. The innovative approach enables accurate measurement in a range from a few millimeters to 10 cm.

A key advantage of the new LCPB sensor generation is its ability to detect a wide variety of media such as liquids, granulates, and powdered materials. The capacitive sensors offer high accuracy and are virtually immune to external interference. In addition, the sensor sensitivity can be customized to ensure that even oils or certain solids can be reliably detected. The standard sensors are suitable for a wide range of media and applications. Even for special applications, EBE's capacitive technology offers a simple solution: the sensitivity of the sensors can be customized to meet specific requirements.

With the LCPB level sensors, it is now possible to continuously measure even larger fill levels using a single sensor. Until now, cascading switches were generally used for contactless measurements over a large area. However, switch solutions on the outside of the tank are complex and not very accurate. Alternative float solutions with integrated reed switches wear out over time and come into contact with the medium. EBE sensors offer a reliable, compact, and cost-effective solution: The sensor technology is integrated on a single circuit board and can be mounted outside the tank. Thanks to their high sensitivity, the level sensors can measure accurately even through tank walls up to 8 mm thick. Measurement is possible despite the air gap between the tank and the sensor. Fill levels up to 10 cm can be achieved with the LCPB standard sensor, but longer measuring ranges can also be implemented with continuous measurement on customer request.

For easier integration, EBE offers an evaluation kit that allows the sensors to be tested under real operating conditions. The kit's intuitive software enables quick commissioning and visualization of the measured values without the need for costly hardware or interface adjustments. The measurement results can be analyzed, stored, and processed directly.
