12VDC Waterproof Capacitive Inductive Proximity Sensor Reed Switch Magnetic for Water Meter

Product overview

Core functionalities

Applicable scenarios

Unique advantages

  • Non-Contact Object Detection: Equipped with both capacitive and inductive sensing technologies, this proximity sensor detects the presence of conductive objects (capacitive) and metallic targets (inductive) without physical contact, ensuring reliable operation in demanding environments.
  • Water Meter Integration: Specifically designed for water meter applications, it facilitates "closing" mechanisms (e.g., valve detection) with an 8mm sensing distance, enabling precise monitoring of fluid flow or system status.

Key features

  • 1. Corrosion-Resistant Metal Body & Waterproof Design

    • With a corrosion-resistant metal body and waterproof design, you can ensure reliable operation in harsh environments like water meters. Disclaimer: Performance in wet conditions may vary based on installation.

  • 2. Non-Contact Detection with Adjustable Sensing Distance

    • With non-contact detection and adjustable sensing distance (up to 8mm), you can achieve precise object detection without physical contact, unlike traditional mechanical switches. Disclaimer: Sensing distance may vary by model and environmental conditions.

  • 3. 12VDC Power Supply & Wide Operating Temperature Range

    • With a 12VDC power supply and operating temperature range of -25°C to 85°C, you can maintain consistent performance across diverse industrial environments. Disclaimer: Temperature range may vary by specific model configuration.

  • 4. Optimized for Water Meter Applications

    • Designed specifically for water meter applications, you can ensure accurate measurements and operational efficiency in closed systems. Disclaimer: Compatibility with specific water meter systems may require additional verification.

  • 5. IP67 Environmental Protection Rating

    • With an IP67 environmental protection rating, you can achieve superior resistance to dust and water ingress, outperforming non-waterproof sensors in wet environments. Disclaimer: Protection rating confirmed through internal testing; verify with the manufacturer for specific use cases.

Supplier's note

  1. Technical Breakthroughs:

    • IP69K Resistance (Pro Model): Withstands high-pressure cleaning, ideal for food processing or outdoor equipment.
    • Dual Technology Flexibility: Switch between capacitive (non-metal objects) and inductive (metal objects) modes for universal detection.
    • Extended Temperature Range (Pro Model): Operates in extreme cold/hot environments, such as Arctic pipelines or industrial ovens.

  2. Version Selection Guide:

    • Base Model: Best for standard water meter installations requiring basic IP67 protection and 8mm sensing.
    • Advanced Model: Choose for harsher environments (e.g., sewage systems) needing IP68 and extended temperature tolerance.
    • Pro Model: Opt for high-precision automation in extreme conditions (e.g., offshore drilling or chemical plants) with ultra-fast response and IP69K durability.

With the Pro Model’s triple-industry-standard chemical resistance, operators can safely handle corrosive fluids while its IP69K rating ensures longevity. Pair with stainless steel construction for seamless integration into rugged systems.
