Product Details
The Idem 138008 CMC coded non-contact switch features LED indication and is designed with 8 ways, including 2 normally closed (NC) and 1 normally open (NO) configuration, and utilizes a QC M12 connection. Constructed from stainless steel 316, this switch is part of the Hygiecode range specifically developed for non-contact guard door interlocking in food processing, pharmaceutical, packaging, and petro-chemical industries. It is suitable for cleaning in place (CIP) and sterilization in place (SIP) processes, and is rated for high-pressure hosing at elevated temperatures, achieving an IP69K ingress protection rating. The switch offers a wide 14mm sensing distance with high tolerance to misalignment and features a mirror polished finish with a roughness average (RA) of 4. The design allows for mounting on steel structures and complies with the hygienic design guidelines set forth by the EHEDG (European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group). Its housing, surface finish, and styling enable the switch to function effectively in environments requiring rigorous cleaning protocols to prevent contamination from foreign particles. The product includes various mounting styles to accommodate different levels of food contact as dictated by EHEDG standards, ensuring that the switch is easy to clean and can endure the CIP and SIP processes typical in the food industry. The universal 22mm fixing centers and compact slim housing make it particularly suitable for applications in food splash zones and areas with space limitations.
