ABSTRACT:
A capacitance sensor arrangement is used to determine the distance of an element such as a shearing handpiece from a surface such as the skin of a sheep. The arrangement processes data from one or more sensors which include a variable capacitor dependent on the distance, and provides an output voltage consistent with the distance, the output voltage being dependent on the voltage drop across a reference capacitor in the sensor circuit.
