Hazardous Area Proximity Sensors
TURCK NAMUR proximity sensors are 2-wire sensing devices meeting the interoperability requirements of EN 60947-5-6.
Because NAMUR sensors operate on very low power, they can be designed to be intrinsically safe for use in hazardous
locations. Turck NAMUR compliant sensors have intrinsic safety approval from FM, CSA, ATEX and others.
Figure 1
The operation of NAMUR sensors is similar to that of a variable
resistor, with a change of impedance as a target approaches the
sensor. When no metal is being sensed, an inductive sensor is in a
low impedance state and draws a current of more than 2.2 mA.
When a metal target enters the high-frequency field radiated from
the sensor face, the impedance increases as the target approaches.
When fully damped, the sensor draws less than 1.0 mA. This
current change is used to trigger an external amplifier at a defined
switch point, usually about 1.5 mA.
NAMUR sensors contain a relatively small number of components, which allows the construction of small devices and helps
to ensure a high degree of reliability. As the sensors are 2-wire current loops with fairly low impedance, they are unaffected
by most transients.
