Inductive sensors for ATEX 3D (zone 22) and 3G (zone 2)
Maximum protection in hazardous areas.
The 4 joules impact test guarantees high mechanical stability of the housing.
Full metal sensors in the threaded housings M12, M18 and M30.
M12 connector ecolink for ATEX categories 2D / 3D / 3G.
High vibration and shock resistance.
EU-wide explosion protection
The ATEX directive 94/9/EC (ATEX) sets out detailed rules for explosion prevention. This sensor family passed a very demanding test series of artificial ageing, 4 joules impact test and subsequent protection rating test. The result: The sensor housings are designed to ensure that, even in the toughest conditions they will not become an ignition source in explosive dusts or gaseous atmospheres. This guarantees maximum protection in hazardous areas.
Only safe with the matching connection
ifm ecolink series connectors also comply with the strict requirements of the standard and are therefore allowed for use in hazardous areas of the categories 2D, 3D and 3G.
M12 connector · output function NO · 3-wire DC PNP
ecolink M12 – the safe connection in ATEX applications.
This series of ecolink connectors meets the strict requirements of the standard and is therefore allowed for use in ATEX areas of the categories 2D, 3D and 3G. It is a simple matter to tighten the connector so far that it complies with the ATEX requirements but cannot be loosened by hand.
Observe the recommended tightening torques of 1.2...1.5 Nm!
