Simple Proximity Detector Sensor Circuit Diagram

A proximity sensor is a sensor able to detect the presence of nearby objects without any physical contact. This simple circuit is actuated by an increase in capacitance between a sensing electrode and the ground side of the line. The sensitivity can be adjusted to switch when a human body is within inches of the insulated plate used as the sensing electrode. Thus, sensitivity is adjusted with the 1 meg ohm potentiometer which determines the anode voltage level prior to clamping This sensitivity will be proportional to the area of the surface opposing each other.
