Proximity Switch - Ferrous

IECEx / ATEX Line Fault Monitoring Proximity Switch - FS-P Series
Certifications / Approvals






FS-P Series overview
FS-P Series Proximity Switch (3/8" UNF Thread) has a wide range of applications where reliable signals are required.
The switch uses proven magnetic technology, which enables it to sense ferrous material at a distance of up to 1.0mm (0.039). It utilises volt free SPCO/SPDT (Form C) contacts as standard.
When packaging space is limited, the FS-P series is available with side-exiting leads that reduce the overall switch length.
The FS-P Series is covered by the following hazardous area certifications.
Explosion Proof: | IECEx & ATEX Exd (Zone 1 & Zone 21) |
Intrinsically Safe: | IECEx & ATEX Exia (Zone 0 & Zone 20) ¦ UL/CSA IS (Zone 0) |
Other Regional Approvals Include: | EAC/TRCU, INMETRO, KCs, CCOE/PESO, ECAS ex, NEPSI/CQST |
With Systematic Capability (SC3), the FS-P proximity switches meet the requirements of IEC 61508:2010 Route 1H & 1S as an element/subsystem, and are suitable for use in safety related systems up to and including SIL 2 with HFT=0 (1oo1) and SIL 3 with HFT =1 (1oo2).
