SMC-F Stainless Steel Non Contact Switch

 

IDEM Safety SwitchesIDEM< SMC-F HYGIECODE coded non contact switch has been specifically designed for food processing applications with its mounting hole at the rear and no food traps. The rear fixing has 2 M4 tapped holes which can withstand high pressure and high temperatures. It has a stainless steel 316 mirror polished finish and is suitable for CIP and SIP cleaning. The IDEM hygiecode has a 22mm fixing hole centre, 50mm wide body, 14mm wide sensing high tolerance misalignment, LED indication and a universal shroud. The IDEM SMC-F hygiecode has a quick connect with m12 versions fitted with 250mm (10”) cable and has been tested to IP69K.

  1. poor guard alignment exists
  2. anti-tamper is required
  3. high hygiene requirements exist e.g. food industry hose down
  4. a long mechanical life is required (no moving or touching parts). When used in combination with a Dual Channel Safety Relay, Coded Non Contact Switches can be used to provide protection up to Category 4 and Ple to ISO13849-1.

Operation 

All IDEM Coded Non Contact Safety Switches are designed to conform to IEC 60947-5-3 and be used as directed by EN1088, EN ISO12100 and EN 60204-1. They have coded magnetic sensing which provides a wide (>10mm) sensing distance and provides a high tolerance to misalignment after sensing. They can be fitted behind stainless steel fittings and can operate in extreme environments of temperature and moisture.
