Product Description

Capacitive proximity switch
CA18CAN12NAM1
TheCA18CA..capacitive
proximity switches feature an improved 4THGenera- tion TRIPLESHIELDTM tech- nology. Furthermore, these sensors feature increased immunity to electromagnetic inteference(EMI),especial- ly to frequency drives. Not only does 4THGeneration TRIPLESHIELDTM feature anincreasedEMI,but it alsoincreasestheimmuni- ty to humidity and dust. The implementation of stability indication eases the setup procedure as both Stable ON and Stable OFF positions are
indicatedby 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 warningthat the sensing surroundings have to be cleaned.
The Temperature alarm func- tion raises an alarm if the sensing surface goes beyond
60 degree celcius.
The sensor housing is featur- ing IP69K as well as approval by ECOLABfor cleaning- and disinfection agents.
