Photoelectric Sensors

Intrinsically Safe Transmitted Beam

These sensors are designed to operate in hazardous environments without the use of "explosion proof" housings by limiting the energy sources entering the hazardous area. These sensors offer an extended 100m (350') sensing range and can be applied in Class I, II, or III; Division 1 (Zones 0, 1, 2) locations when connected to an appropriate safety barrier. The sensor is also approved as non-incendive for installation into Class 1; Division 2 hazardous locations without the need for a safety barrier.

Unlike many competitive sensors, the Intrinsically Safe Series 9000 does not require an expensive current trip amplifer.

Darkroom Models
Series 9000 darkroom sensors can be used in areas where the emission of visible light must be sharply reduced, such as in areas where photographic films, papers and other materials are manufactured. These On/Off sensors have been specifically designed and constructed to reduce visible light emission to less than 0.003 millilux measured 25mm (1 in.) from the sensor.
