DC capacitive Μ18, with or without alarm (dust or temperature). Sensing range: 2 - 10 or 3 - 15 mm. Ecolab IP69K (potentiometer)

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION

    CA18CA..

    The CA18CA.. capacitive proximity switches feature an improved 4th Generation TRIPLESHIELDtm technology. Furthermore, these sensors feature increased immunity to electromagnetic inteference (EMI), especially to frequency drives. Not only does 4th Generation
    TRIPLESHIELDtm feature an increased EMI, but it also increases the immunity to humidity and dust. The implementation of stability indication eases the setup procedure as both Stable ON and Stable OFF positions are indicated by the Green and yellow LEDs.
    The sensing distance is increased by 25 % allowing room for additional stable detection.
    The Dust Alarm function gives an early warning that the sensing surroundings have to be cleaned.
    The Temperature alarm function raises an alarm if the sensing surface goes beyond 60 degree celcius.
    The sensor housing is featuring IP69K as well as approval by ECOLAB for cleaning and disinfection agents
