Proximity Switch Used In Hazardous Area
General product information
Protocontrol offers Intrinsically Safe Proximity Switches for use in Hazardous area. These switches are certified by competent authority for use in flammable area group classification I, IIA, IIB, IIC. Suitable intrinsically safe Isolating Amplifier is also offered which receives signal from these switches and drives a relay or produce solid state O/P.These switches are used for position, speed, and direction & level sensing. Proximity switches can replace limit switches with many advantages.
1) No physical contact
2) No wear and tear, hence long life.
3) No contact bounce. No false pulses
4) Non-contact and maintenance free.
5) High repeat accuracy
6) Many mounting options are available.
7) Led indicator.
8) Switches for use in hazardous locations are also available.
Namur sensors are current operated switches and draw specific current as per norms of intrinsically safety. The on and off current is limited to specific value.
