Features

• *Suitable mounting band required. RS PRO Proximity Reed Switch. Introducing the proximity switch/sensor designed to detect and respond to the presence of a magnetic field. The inductive proximity sensor is usually mounted on to the cylinder and detects the piston position. The information about the cylinders' position is being ***d to signal electrical circuits as required. The switch is supplied with a 2,5m long flying leads and is impregnated with epoxy resin to give protection in accordance with IP67. It also guarantees an excellent impact resistance and a wide operating temperature range from -20°C up to 85°C. Metal Reeds contained in a glass tube are mutually influenced when within a magnetic field, thus changing the circuit. The switch is operating in N/O (normally open) contact function and features a LED indicator. When connected to several switches with indicators at low voltage the *** of suitable circuit (D2) is recomm***ed, which overcomes problems ca***d by the voltage drop across the LEDs. The switch can be ***d with AC or DC circuits and have mechanical and electrical life of the order of 10 ;sup>7 ;/sup>operations. Features and Benefits:.
