TROLEX TX1013 Magnetic Proximity Switch
APPLICATION
Vehicle counting, vehicle location, loco zoning shores.
Machine traverse and position detection overtravel, ultimate limits.
Ideal for Intrinsically Safe and Hazardous Area applications.
A pair of magnets, North and South poles, can be used together to obtain an
extended pulse length.
The lengths of pulse is directly related to the distance between the two
magnets.
PRIN CIPLE OF OPERATION
The TX1013 Proximity Switch contains a sealed magnetic reed switch in a robust
environmental proof housing.
The reed switch is positioned in an accurately balanced magnetic circuit and
will respond to an external operating magnet, latching ‘on’ when the magnet
passes in one direction and re-setting ‘off’ when the magnet returns
(bistable). No auxiliary electrical supply is needed and the switch will
retain its last ‘set’ under power failure.
IN STALLATION
The TX1004 Magnetic Proximity Switch should be used in conjunction with a standard Trolex Operating Magnet (Order Ref. TX1080).
-
Mount the switch and magnet face to face, approximately on the same centre line aligned together as shown.
-
The contacts close as the magnet passes in one direction and opens when the magnet returns.
Direction of operation is determined by using either a north pole magnet or a south pole magnet, or simply by inverting the switch housing.
DIMENSIONS
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Temperature Limits: –20…100°C.
Protection Classification: Dust and waterproof to IP65.
Housing Material: Glass reinforced polycarbonate.
Operating Distance: 80mm maximum with TX1081 Magnet.
This may be reduced by any surrounding metalwork in close proximity.
Net Weight: 1.0Kg.
ELECTRICAL DETAILS
Connections:
Contact Rating: 230V ac, 2A, 50W.
The contacts are suitable for direct switching of small inductive loads such
as control relays. Contact protection must be provided to ensure these
instantaneous ratings are not exceeded, especially during any peak in-rush or
surge conditions which may be present in the circuit – we can advise.
PRECAUTIONS
DO NOT use inductive test buzzers, bells, or incandescent lamps on the
contacts.
Current in-rush and voltage spikes may damage the contacts.
