Product Description

The CA30CA.. capacitive
proximity switches feature
an improved 4TH Genera­tion TRIPLESHIELDTM tech­nology. Furthermore, these
sensors feature increased
immunity to electromagnetic
inteference (EMI), especial­ly to frequency drives. Not
only does 4TH Generation

TRIPLESHIELDTM feature

an increased EMI, but it
also increases the immuni­ty to humidity and dust. The
implementation of stability
indication eases the setup
procedure as both Stable ON
and Stable OFF positions are

indicated by the Green and
yellow LEDs.
The sensing distance is
increased by 20 – 25 %
allowing room for additional
stable detection.
The Dust Alarm function
gives an early warning that
the sensing surroundings
have to be cleaned.
The Temperature alarm func­tion raises an alarm if the
sensing surface goes beyond
60 degree celcius.
The sensor housing is featur­ing IP69K as well as approval
by ECOLAB for cleaning­and disinfection agents.

* The IP69K test according to DIN 40050-9 for high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down applications.
The sensor must not only be dust tight (IP6X), but also able to withstand high-pressure and steam cleaning.
The sensor is exposed to high pressure water from a spray nozzle that is fed with 80°C water at 8’000–
10’000 KPa (80–100bar) and a flow rate of 14–6L/min. The nozzle is held 100 –150 mm from the sensor at
angles of 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° for 30s each. The test device sits on a turntable that rotates with a speed of 5
times per minute. The sensor must not suffer any damaging effects from the high pressure water in appear
ance and function.
