BI8U-EM18WD-VP6X-H1141/3GD is a TURCK uprox inductive sensor for the food industry, in a stainless steel 1.4404 housing with an LCP front cap, approved for ATEX zones 2 and 22. Correction factor 1 for all metals and immune to magnetic AC and DC fields up to 300 mT, so steel, stainless steel, aluminium and brass are detected at the same distance.
- Switching distance: 8 mm, flush mounting
- Output: PNP, complementary (NO + NC), 4-wire, max. 200 mA, switching frequency 1.5 kHz; short-circuit, wire-break and reverse polarity protection
- Supply: 10...30 VDC, no-load current 25 mA
- Housing: M18 x 1 stainless steel 1.4404 (AISI 316L), LCP front cap rated to 15 bar, thread length 36 mm, nut torque max. 25 Nm
- Environment: IP68 / IP69K, operating temperature -40...+100 °C
- Connection: M12 connector, 4-pin
Used on washdown lines where sensors are cleaned with high-pressure water and alkaline agents, including areas classed as zone 2 or zone 22. A yellow LED shows the switching state.
