Intrinsically Safe RF Speed Sensors

Intrinsic safety has become an increasingly popular approach for handling sensing requirements in hazardous locations. These sensors are intrinsically safe versions of Motion Sensors Hermetically Sealed VR Sensors or Epoxy Encapsulated VR Sensors.

Type
Variable reluctance (VR) or inductive type

Warranty
Unconditional one (1) year warranty if used within specifications

Physical Features

  • Body material: 300 series stainless steel (locknut included)
  • Encapsulation: hermetically sealed, heli-arc welded construction or epoxy encapsulation
  • Magnet that resists demagnetization
  • Focusing tip (pole piece) which allows greater air gap with no signal loss
  • IR leakage: 100 Mohms @ 100 VDC min.
  • High signal output
  • High Shock and Vibration resistance (MIL-STD-202G METHOD 214A, Test Condition H)
 

Entity Parameters

  • Group IIC:
    – Vmax/Ui = 30 VDC
    – Imax/Ii = 300 mA
    – Pi = 0.75 W
    – Ci/Ci = 0 uF
    – Li/Li = 0 mH
