Intrinsically Safe EAC & TR CU Ex ia Proximity Switch - High Temperature - SPCO/SPDT NAMUR LFM/LFD - 316L Stainless Steel
Certifications / Approvals
Proximity Switch Certified for EAC & TR CU Ex ia Groups IIC / IIIC T3 / T4 / T6 Rated for use in Gas & Dust Zones 0 and 20
This is a high temperature Proximity Switch has a 316L Stainless Steel Cylindrical housing with NAMUR LFO (Normally Open) , volt free Palladium-Silver contacts. It has a maximum switching current of 4A and can be used for switching multiple voltages in AC or DC. These switches are able to sense ferrous material, such as carbon steel or stainless steel (17/4 or 400 series), through the end face at up to 2.5mm|0.10" and are reliable through millions of operations. Optional magnetic targets can be used to further increase sensing range. This is a high temperature Proximity Switch specifically designed for use in applications with elevated temperatures up to 204°C (400°F)*, this switch is proven to withstand it all. Suitable for use in the design of safety functions up to SIL2 or SIL3. Using the latest production methods and materials this product meets global certification requirements and its robust design makes it suitable for use in arduous and hazardous environments. Euroswitch products are also available with multi-approvals including combinations of the following global and regional certification standards; ATEX / IECEx Ex d (Ex db); Ex ia; UL & CSA Cl I Div 1 & 2 and Cl II Div 1 & 2; EAC / TRCU; INMETRO; KCs; CCOE / PESO; ECAS Ex, and NEPSI/CCC Ex.
These proximity switches meet the requirements of IEC 61508:2010 Routes 1H & 1S with Systematic Capability (SC3) as an element/subsystem suitable for use in safety related systems performing safety functions up to and including SIL 2 with HFT=0 (1oo1) and SIL 3 with HFT =1 (1oo2).
