摘要 |
The invention relates to an electrode arrangement for achieving the detection of the presence, position, and/or the intrusion of an object, particularly of human limbs in an observation region. The aim of the invention is to provide solutions that are advantageous over prior solutions when detecting an object, especially a living body that is approaching a detection system. Said aim is solved, according to the invention, by an electrode arrangement for detecting the presence of an object within an observation region, with an electrode device for emitting an alternating field into an emission range, an electronic circuit for applying an alternating voltage to the electrode device, a connecting line for connecting the electrode device to the electronic circuit, and a device for shielding the connecting line. Said electrode arrangement is characterized in that an electrode-testing device is provided for generating a signal indicating the continuity of the electrode device.
