The Autonics CR18-8DN2 belongs to the CR series – Cylindrical Capacitive Proximity Sensors.
Capacitive proximity sensors react to any material with a dielectric constant – plastic, wood, glass, liquids and powders – so they are used for level detection through container walls and for non-metal parts.

Compatibility and replacement
Order with the full model code CR18-8DN2: in the Autonics code the letters and digits after the series select the size, sensing distance or resolution, the output type and the supply, so a different suffix may not fit your wiring.
If the label of the old unit is worn or the model is discontinued, send us a photo and we will confirm the current Autonics equivalent before quoting.
Before you replace it
