The
Series PS Proximity Sensors
are noninvasive sensors ideal for level detection, position
indicating and counting applications. Capacitive type sensors
detect electrically conducting and nonconducting materials,
liquids, solids, or powders and include a sensitivity adjustment
to differentiate between various materials. Inductive sensors
detect ferrous or nonferrous metals only. A bright red LED
indicates the state of the output switch. Sensors feature
short circuit, reverse polarity and transient protection.
Small size and threaded body make installation easy. Inductive
sensors are embeddable (can be mounted flush). Capacitive
sensors are environmentally protected to IP65 and Inductive
sensors are protected to IP68. Units include two fixing
nuts, screw driver, and operating instructions.
APPLICATIONS
Level control of liquids, powders, or solids, parts detection
and counting, motion and speed detection, leak detection,
rotation control.
