Sentrol Sensors

The ShatterPro Plus is an acoustic glassbreak sensor combined with a passive infrared motion detector for the purpose of eliminating occupant-generated false alarms. When a person enters the motion detector's field of view, the glassbreak sensor is shunted for as long as the person remains in the area. The sensor can be wired into a 24-hour perimeter loop, free from concerns about false alarms.

An Inexpensive, Compact, Easy-to-Use, Current Indicator with Flashing LED

The AMPFlasher ACI Series Current Indicator is a compact, inexpensive, easy-to-use LED ring which slips onto a conductor to give a flashing indication of current flow. Ideal for use in control panels, or wherever confirmation of current flow is desired, AMPFlasher current indicators are a cost-effective way to detect live conductors and see current flow to fans, heaters, pumps, lighting or other powered devices.

  • 5/16th inch ID suitable for conductors up to 100A
  • Low sensitivity turn-on point detects currents as low as 0.5A with a single conductor pass
  • High visibility flashing LED gives visual status
  • Compact 1" package with cable tie for secure mounting
  • Optional 12" pigtails for remote mounting of LED

  • Use as a quick visual aid to troubleshooting current problems

Applications for AG and AGL Ground Fault Sensors

Since the late 1960's, the National Electric Code has required Ground Fault Circuit Protection in many areas; each revision cycle seems to add new requirements. The requirements for personnel protection in bathrooms, construction sites and for most outdoor mounted outlets has greatly reduced the number of deaths by electrocution. More recent versions have added requirements for equipment protection, which are designed to prevent damage from phase to earth faults.

Monitoring a three phase circuit for ground fault current requires more than comparing the hot and neutral loads. NK Technologies' sensors monitor all current carrying conductors at the same time. If more current is used at the load than is being returned to the source, there is earth leakage. This leakage can be detected by using our extremely sensitive ground fault detection products.

Ground Fault Sensors Can Prevent Costly Shutdowns in Industrial Processes

NK Technologies' ground fault sensors allow the system designer to choose what the sensor output will do if a fault to ground is sensed. The output contact can be selected to close, operating a shunt trip circuit breaker, or a contact can open the circuit to a contactor coil. Both would shut down the monitored load.

In many industrial processes, shutting down the process would create huge maintenance issues. For example, it is common to use heat trace to keep material flowing through a pipe at a consistent temperature. De-energizing the heat cable would likely damage the product. Using an NK Technologies' sensor to trip an alarm may prevent costly material losses and allow the system operator to take preventative action at a more convenient time.

New SUNX PM-64 U-Shaped Photoelectric Sensor

Matsushita SUNX PM-64 Series Photoelectric Sensors are so compact, space-saving with easy workability. The PM-64 series sensor incorporates a built-in connector, which realized large space-saving compared to the conventional model. Commercial connector is employed to increase availability and reliability of connection. Six different types of SUNX Photoelectric Sensors are selectable depending on the place of installment. The connector is built into the sensor. This greatly reduces the amount of space taken up compared to previous products.

The connector connection type eliminates the extra work of soldering and insulation processing. In addition, the connector used is acommercially-available multi-purpose connector which is also currently used by the DP-100 Series Of Digital Pressure Meters. Adjustable long range and fixed-focus reflective type SUNX Photoelectric Sensor EQ-500 Series is capable of the detection for 2.5m long sensing rang by adjustable long range system which doesn't get affected by the color/angle/gloss of background object. Adjustable long range system is capable of the stable detection under the bad environment such as in a cloud of dust because it distinguishes at the receiving position not by the light intensity. Also, due to Multi-voltage type, it works in the application for other than FA scene. It is suitable for when the objects are not fixed in its size and color for such as confirming if there is any baggage at the automatic warehouse.

SUNX Ultra-Thin Static Ionizers

SUNX ER-VW Series of ultra-slim, high-performance ionizers performs highly efficient static removal using a high-frequency AC method. This method produces an excellent ion balance ensuring that acts to quickly remove static charge from your work piece. Also, the supplied air pressure or the setup distance does not affect the ion balance, so installation is quick and easy. The dual nozzle design of SUNX ER-VW Ionizer incorporates a nozzle angle adjustment feature for optimal placement and targeting of your ion flow. Up to five units can be easily connected together allowing for the use of one air line and power supply for a series of units.

Also, with a low air flow minimum or 15 l/min, air usage is much lower than with conventional units. High performance functions have also been added to enhance the usability and the lifetime of the discharge needle. A discharge halt input has been integrated to interact with a trigger sensor to only allow discharge in the presence of a work piece. Furthermore, if the unit detects a drop in pressure below the minimum air flow requirement, it will automatically shut off the ion discharge and activate the output for an alarm. This eliminates the possibility of charged pieces to go untreated if the air supply halts.

The maintenance procedure has been simplified by using 'check' and 'error' LEDs to notify the operator of the need for service; and, because the discharge needle is fully covered by the nozzle, safety in needle replacement operations is ensured.

Single-Handed Mounting on Sensors for C-Groove Cylinders

TURCK's Line Of Magnetic Cylinder Position Switches has been expanded to include the BIM-UNR, a miniature sensor designed to mount within C-groove cylinders with no accessories required. Its dimensions of 2.9 x 4.6 x 18 mm make the BIM-UNR one of the most compact sensors on the market. The sensor can be inserted into a C-groove from the top rather than from the side, simplifying installation.

On the sensor's side is a built-in tab that keeps the sensor in place to facilitate one-handed mounting. The BIM-UNR sensor also incorporates a 1.5 mm hexagon mounting screw that requires only a quarter-turn to securely mount the sensor. As this mounting screw is located near the cable exit, the sensor remains fastened even if the cable is pulled.

Since the BIM-UNR sensor is designed to fit inside the C-groove, it is protected from mechanical damage. In addition, the sensor's active sensing element is located at the bottom of the groove as close to the magnet as possible providing reliable detection, especially on shortstroke cylinders. BIM-UNR sensors are also highly immune to EMC interference in accordance with EN 60947-5-2.
