Additional information

Key Operational Features
Adjustable Sensing Range: Features a nominal sensing distance of 15 mm, fine-tunable via a rear potentiometer to calibrate sensitivity for specific media density (e.g., plastic granules, grain, water, or oil).ATEX Category 1D / 3G Certification: Suitable for dangerous explosion-hazard zones, fulfilling rigorous European directives for hazardous location safety.
Corrosion-Resistant Housing: Constructed with high-grade Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) housing and a PBT sensing face, providing resistance against moisture, chemicals, and mechanical wear.
Clear Optical Diagnostics: Equipped with yellow LED status indicators that provide clear visibility of output switching state during setup and routine field checks.IP65/IP67 Protection: Fully sealed against dust ingress and immersion in water, ensuring reliable performance in harsh washdown or outdoors environments.
