RPC Coded Magnetic Actuation Non Contact

IDEM Safety Switches IDEM RPC coded magnetic actuator with a switching tolerance up to 10mm.

Specified to 80C but designed to work up to 100C and will operate with most safety relays.

The IDEM RPC has a cylindrical fitting which is suitable for all industrial applications with an easy to install with an M30 threaded body and easy to set.

The IDEM RPC is extremely robust allowing suitability for harsh environments and can be flushed mounted if required.

Quick Connect versions available and LED indication (available without LED if required)

The IDEM RPC has a safety standard of up to: PLe ISO 13849-1 SIL 3 EN 62061 Cat 4 EN 954-1.

The IDEM RPC has 2NC & 1NO circuits, a high switching life and no moving parts.

Appliction

Coded Non Contact switches are designed to interlock hinged, sliding or removal guard doors. They are specifically advantageous when:

  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.
