A capacitance measurement circuit for determining a sense current of a capacitive sensor with a sense electrode and a guard electrode. The measurement circuit includes a periodic signal voltage source, a sense current measurement circuit configured for determining the sense current with reference to a reference voltage, and at least one remotely controllable switch member. In a first switching state, the at least one switch member electrically connects the sense current measurement circuit to the periodic signal voltage source for providing a first reference voltage, and in a second switching state, the at least one switch member electrically connects the sense current measurement circuit to a second reference voltage that is different from the first reference voltage.
