ANTI-PINCH SENSOR

摘要

An anti-pinch sensor (1, 1'), particularly for detecting an obstacle in the path of an actuating element of a motor vehicle is disclosed, having a sensor body (2), a measuring electrode (6, 7), which is disposed in the sensor body (2) and to which a measuring potential can be applied, a calibrating electrode (4), which is electrically disconnected and disposed in the sensor body (2) adjacent to the measuring electrode (6, 7), and a control unit (S). The control unit (S) controls the measuring electrode (6, 7) and the calibrating electrode (4) such that the measuring potential and the calibrating potential are equal in a measuring phase, and differ from each other in a calibrating phase.
