SOUTHINGTON, CONN. — Baumer Electric says its CFAH capacitive high-temperature sensor can detect target materials such as liquids, granulates and pastes at temperatures up to 200 degrees C.

The sensor's design separates the sensing head from the oscillator and decoding electronics, letting it withstand high temperatures. Made of Teflon and stainless steel, the sensor head can be used in environments where temperatures range from -40 degrees C to 200 degrees C, with a 250 degrees C option. The head is connected by a coaxial cable at 1 meter from the oscillator and decoding electronics. It can be installed in an environment of -25 degrees C to 75 degrees C.

The CFAH is priced at $339 each in low volumes. Delivery is one week.
