Inductive proximity switches

Namur version namur-DIN 19234 ( 2 wire )

Two wire non-amplified DC sensors contain only the oscillator and are adapted to control an electronic amplified threshold circuit. Only a few
components are required, guaranteeing maximum operational safety and reliability. The sensor is not susceptible to inductive or capacitive
irradiations into the amplifier.

Ideally suited for explosion proof applications connected intrinsically safe amplifiers.

Nominal voltage: 8 VDC ( 7.7 ÷ 9 V ) - Load resistant 1 kΩ

Output current: Presence of metal ≤ 1 mA
Absence of metal ≤ 3 mA

DC version direct voltage ( 3 wire )

Amplified Dc sensors containing an output amplifier. In addition to the oscillator they are supplied with functions NO or NC in NPN or PNP.
As standard this version if sensor is protected against short circuit and against polarity and peaks created by the disconnection of
inductive loads.

AC version alternative voltage ( 2 wire )

Two wire amplified AC sensors containing a thyristor output amplifier, in addition to the oscillator the load ( i.e. relay ) is connected in series.
Due to this system attention must be paid ( particularly in the low voltage range ) if electronic controls have high resistance inputs, as there is a
residual current flow even when in the open state. All AC sensors protected against overvoltage created by the power supply.

Capacitive proximity switches

Capacitive sensors

These are electronic transducers which give output signals when any material ( wood, marble, metals, glass, coffee, fodder, etc. ) affects their
sensing part without necessarily entering in contact with them. They have high resistance to knocks and vibrations and can operate in severe
ambient conditions since they are completely static. The devices can be supplied with a rapid or delayed intervention.
