FAQs
To install, position the reed switch for flush mounting in compatible profile cylinders, align with the magnetic piston, and secure with standard mounting provisions. Route the 5 m cable away from heat sources and sharp edges; verify IP66 ingress protection with appropriate grommets. Ensure EN 60947-5-2 compliant wiring to your control circuit.
The sensor complies with EN 60947-5-2 and carries an IP66 rating, protecting against dust and powerful washdowns. EN 60947-5-2 ensures electrical safety and compatibility with industrial controls, while IP66 protection reduces false trips and maintenance needs in challenging environments.
Yes. The 5 m cable length provides flexible routing between the cylinder sensors and controller, making retrofits easier without additional adapters. It supports typical machine layouts and enables simpler daisy-chaining within M/50 actuator switch ecosystems.
Yes, flush mounting is supported and recommended for compact layouts. Ensure accurate alignment with the magnetic piston and provide secure mounting to maintain signal integrity across temperature swings. Use appropriate sealing and cable management to preserve IP66 protection and long-term reliability.
The robust IP66-rated design and EN 60947-5-2 compliance reduce unscheduled downtime and maintenance costs by delivering reliable sensing in harsh environments. The 5 m lead simplifies wiring, enabling faster upgrades, easier scalability in automation lines, and a shorter time-to-value for OEMs and end users.
