exPoS MAGNetiC PoSitioN SeNSor

The device was designed to sense position changes occurring in industrial applications. Its compact size is an ideal solution for natural gas industry processes. The sensor has an enhanced safety cable leader which takes into consideration the requirements of products used in explosion hazard environments. A built-in reed relay switch excludes any possibility of failure. FEATURES
Reed relay contact element High-sensitivity Magnetic operation

OPERATION
Normal open design Position signal

INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
Certificate free Ex component IP67 design (IEC 529 conform) Lengthened cable Screw-in installation

exPoS teChNiCAL DetAiLS

OPERATION
The switch unit within the product is a reed relay which is open in its normal state. A magnet closely positioned to it will create a magnetic field which closes the reed relay causing a short circuit signal within the device. If the magnet is moved, the magnetic field is lost and the reed relay is opened thus breaking the circuit.

ELECTRICAL PROTECTION
The product is sealed air tight with a poured resin, thereby protecting the contact element and the cable from all types of environmental damage. The detector is categorized IP67 electrical protection according to the IEC 529.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The device can be mounted in several ways. The detector can be screwed into the desired position with accompanied by the two counter nuts. This solution is only recommended when the detector does not need to be frequently moved or if the other end of the cable is not fixed in position. The other option is mounting it in a hole in a metal plate with the two counter nuts.

FUNCTIONAL DISTANCES
Correct installation is critical to proper functioning. The magnetic field and geometric extension vary depending on the properties of the magnet used. From an operational standpoint two measurements are important. The first is the distance between the magnet and the sensor, known as the detector distance. The second is the distance between the axis of the detector and the center point of the magnetic field, known as the operational eccentricity. The recommended detector distance is 10mm. If there is no eccentricity, the field lines of the magnet do not close and a magnetic field is not produced.

MAGNET
A magnet is necessary for the sensor to function. The minimum size of the magnet used depends on its type. The sensor will function with magnets of any material. A Ferrite magnet should be at least NA204 in size while neodymium and AlNiCo magnets should be NA120.5. Circular magnets are preferred for operation with the detector. The detector is shipped with a magnet.

APPLICATION
The sensor has an enhanced safety cable leader which takes into consideration the requirements of products used in explosion hazard environments. It also has intrinsic safety circuitry.

GAS DeteCtiveDw 85 Gex

It has been designed to be safely used in explosion hazard zones. The sensor is equipped with a voltage outputand is primarily optimized to detect gas in closed areas. FEATURES Measurement of gas concentrations on air, in closed areas Optimized for the detection of methane, butane, ethanol, and hydrogen Short reaction time Fast signal reception Voltage output SPECIAL CHARATERISTICS Explosion-proof design Compact construction Corrosion resistant INDUSTRIAL DESIGN Operational temperature range: -35C to+60C Protection: IP65 (IEC 529 conform) ATEX certification

fASt DeteCtiON

GAS DeteCtive teChNiCAL DetAiLS

THE DETECTION PROCESS
When the semiconductor is heated, an electrical current is produced at its particle limit. If this takes place in the presence of clean air (free of dangerous gases), the oxygen in the air absorbs the freed electrons on the surface of the semiconductor. This creates a potential barrier and increases the electrical resistance. If the sensor comes into contact with reduction gases, the gas molecules absorb on the semiconductor which results in oxidation. The oxidation reduces the potential barrier, and thus also the electrical resistance. This process depends greatly on the material composition of the semiconductor used and the catalytic temperature applied. The GasDetective - DW 85 GEx is optimized especially for the detection of methane, butane,ethanol, and hydrogen.

ELECTRONIC OPERATION
The signal processing and control unit makes use of the rise and fall in the electrical resistance described above. The signal is produced on a comparator using a resistor bridge. One branch of the resistor bridge is used for temperature compensation. The other branch is sensitive to the measured gases. The resulting signal reflects the gas concentration independent of temperature.

INSTALLATION
The sensor may only be installed and operated horizontally or vertically with the sinter steel filter facing outwards or downwards. If this is not the case, the device will not operate properly, resulting in dangerous gas concentration levels, which will not be registered as such because of the improper installation.
