 Magnetic sensors for cylinders

General

The limit switches, or magnetic sensors, have to be mounted on cylinders with magnetic piston. These, when hit
by the magnetic field generated by the piston as it approaches, close the circuit sending an electrical signal by
relè solenoid valve control, etc. or converse with the controlling electronic system situaded on the machine.
There are available magnetic sensor with ampulla Reed type and with Hall effect. The sensors are attached to
the cylinder by a proper clamp and have a Led insertion indicator.
The magnetic sensors with ampulla are made in 3 versions:
- U (universal) functioning with continuous or alternate current, protected by varistor Led indicator.
- U/1(universal) functioning with continuous or alternate current, with contact Reed only to avoid 3 volt tension
drop caused by led.
- D.C. for functioning with continuous current only, utilized for switching heavy loads since the contact Reed
become the pilot of a semi-conductor power circuit.

Note: The magnetic sensors are according to the Directive EMC 89/336/CEE and following amendments.

Instruction on how to use the sensors properly

Particular attention should be paid not to exceed the wide operating limits showed in the specification table.
Besides the sensor has never to be connected to the mains if a load has not been yet connected in series. These
are the only cares that, if not followed, may cause damages to the sensor.
Furthermore it has to be considered that, while loading, the current absorbed by the sensor might be 50% higher
that the rated one. Therefore, specially while using alternate current (AC) there is the need to observe the
appropriate safety margins.
In the case of direct current (DC) sensors (see code numbers 1500.DC and 1600.DC), the polarity of the
connection has to be observed: the brown cable must be connected to the plus (+) and the blue one to the minus (-).
Attention has also to be paid to the orientation of the connector, cause by inverting the connection the circuit will be
not damaged, but the sensors will remain switched, the load connected and the led turned off.
Due to the particular structure of the switching circuit of these sensors, which is made of semiconductors, there are
no particular contra-indications related to its use: the supported load may therefore be indifferently of inductive,
capacitive or resistive type, and similarly the length of the connecting wire is not of importance.
On the contrary, in case of use universal (U) sensors with direct current (DC), attention has to be paid to the length
of the cable, which has to be no longer than 10m with 48V voltage.
Besides, there are some other external factors to be taken into consideration, such as proximity of powered cable,
magnetic fields produced by electric motors, mass of iron too close to the sensor, and so on: these factors have to
be therefore carefully avoided, being able to influence the sensors and accordingly to cause irregularity of
operation.
