The Rectangular Magnetic Proximity Sensor S3394 from Fargo Controls, Inc. operates using reed contacts activated by the presence of a permanent magnet. It features a plastic case with a protection degree of IP 67, ensuring resistance to dust and water. The sensor is hermetically sealed, which enhances its durability and reliability in various environments. It has an operating temperature range of -25 to +100¬8C (-13 to +212¬8F) and supports a switching frequency of up to 230 Hz for NO output. The sensor requires a specific magnet for actuation, such as the S3414 or S3415 models. This product is RoHS compliant and suitable for applications requiring compact and maintenance-free operation.
Magnetic sensors are actuated by the presence of a permanent magnet. Their operating principle is based on the use of reed contacts, which consist of two low reluctance ferro-magnetic reeds enclosed in glass bulbs containing inert gas. The reciprocal attraction of both reeds in the presence of a magnetic field, due to magnetic induction, establishes an electrical contact.
