Note:
all

switches
are
available
with

cable
of
25’
and
50’.
For
25’
of
cable,
add
(

to
the
end
of
the
part
number
and
for
50’
of
cable,
add
(

to
the
end
of
the

Testing
Tip:
The
LVC
‐
152
series
sensor
looks
for
changes
in
capacitance
based
upon
the
dielectric
constant
of
the
liquid.
Although
water
has
a
high
dielectric
constant,
the
volume
of
a
cup
of
water
will
not
have
enough
change
in
capacitance
to
switch
the
sensor
into
a
wet
condition.
One
way
to
increase
the
capacitance
for
the
cup
of
water
is
to
dip
your
finger
into
the
cup.
The
volume
of
water
within
your
body
will
add
to
the
water
in
the
cup
and
will
result
in
the
sensor
identifying
a
wet
condition.
