Abstract:
1. A sensing device, comprising: an enclosure ( a capacitive sensor ( preventive means that prevents, in a mutually seal-tight manner with the enclosure ( wherein the first capacitive detection area (A) is located at a first end of the enclosure, and the second capacitive detection area (B) is spaced from the first capacitive detection area (A) toward a second end of the enclosure, the preventive means located between the first capacitive detection area (A) and the second capacitive detection area (B), wherein both the first and second detection areas are mounted on a substrate located inside the enclosure, and wherein the preventive means is a seal extending around the substrate at a location on the substrate between the first and second detection areas, the seal having a thickness sufficient to cooperate with the enclosure to form a moisture-tight barrier between the first and second detection areas.
