Les détecteurs de proximité capacitifs JOLA sont destinés au contrôle et à la régulation de niveaux de liquides ou de granulés. La fonction de ces détecteurs repose sur le changement de capacité de l'électrode située dans le tube de détection à proximité de la surface de détection. Ce changement de capacité est provoqué par le rapprochement ou le contact avec le liquide ou le granulé.
