FAQs
Plan for secure mounting within an IP66-rated enclosure or housing and route the 5 m cable to the control panel with weatherproof connectors. Keep the actuator area aligned with the magnet to ensure reliable actuation, and allow some slack for vibration. The long cable simplifies routing, reducing junctions and potential failure points.
Key specs include a -20 to 80 °C operating range, IP66 ingress protection, a 5 m cable length, 22 mm height, 15 mm width, and a weight of 0.27 kg. The LED indicator provides quick status visibility, and the part belongs to the Lintra Plus family for seamless integration with Norgren components.
Yes. The IP66 rating protects against dust and water ingress, making it appropriate for washdown zones and damp manufacturing environments. Ensure proper cable sealing at entry points and use compatible connectors to maintain the IP66 integrity during installation.
The built-in LED indicator offers at-a-glance status of the reed switch, helping technicians quickly confirm actuation or fault conditions without specialized test equipment. This reduces diagnostic time during routine maintenance and line changeovers, improving overall equipment effectiveness.
The 5 m cable reduces wiring complexity and installation time, while the IP66 protection and wide temperature range extend sensor life in harsh environments. Combined with the LED indicator for quick fault detection, this supports higher line uptime and lower maintenance costs in automated systems and retrofits.
