Abstract

See full text

A system for the early detection of damage to and/or soiling of a capacitive sensor includes determining a degree by which the sensor is damaged and/or soiled by measuring a physical property of an electrode, e.g. the resistance of the electrode, or optically by means of the coefficient of reflection of the electrode surface of at least one electrode of the capacitive sensor. A capacitive sensor, according to the system described herein, may include components for provide the diagnostic function.
