September 25, 2014 - Carlo Gavazzi releases Tripleshield CA30CA Capacitive Sensors. In addition to immunity to dust, humidity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), the CA30CA Series includes diagnostic alarms and two LEDs for better reliability and simplified troubleshooting during installation. In addition to improved compensation for dust and humidity, an optional Dust Alarm Output gives an early warning of accumulation on the face of the sensor. The CA30CA Series is designed for harsh environments, providing IP67 and IP69K protection, ECOLAB approval for chemical resistance, and rated to withstand temperatures up to 248ºF (120°C). An optional Temperature Alarm Output warns the user if the sensing face surface exceeds 140ºF (60°C).
The CA30CA Series Capacitive Proximity Sensors are available in a vast range of configurations, and are ideal in a numerous applications and industries, including: plastics, agriculture, pellet burning stoves, packaging, material handling, and food and beverage. Technical specifications include:
- Sensing distance: 2-20mm flush or 4-30mm non-flush
- 10-40VDC, NO & NC, NPN or PNP, 200mA transistor outputs
- IP67, IP69K; NEMA 1, 2, 4, 4X, 5, 6, 6P, 12
- Laser engraved labeling withstands IP69K cleaning
- Dust and humidity compensation
- Increased temperature stability
- Optional Dust Alarm or Temperature Alarm output
- Two diagnostic LEDs (green and yellow)
The CA30CA Tripleshield Sensors are cULus and ECOLAB approved.
