摘要

A field sensor control mechanism for doors and the like has two or more insulated electrodes mounted at different levels in the leading edge of a door or the like. A first oscillating circuit is connected with one of these electrodes and a second oscillating circuit, separate from the first one and serving as a comparison circuit for the same, is connected to the other electrode. The two circuits have base oscillating frequencies which are either identical or differ only slightly from one another. The circuits are so coupled to one another that the oscillations of the first circuit vary as a function of capacitance changes taking place in the electrodes.
