It limits the current and voltage to prevent sparks in hazardous (explosive) environments, communicating its state (sensed/not sensed) by switching between two distinct low-current levels.</p> <strong>Can I connect this sensor directly to a standard PLC digital input?</strong><br><p>No, a NAMUR sensor cannot be connected directly to a standard PLC input. It requires an approved isolator barrier or amplifier. This device provides the correct operating voltage and interprets the low-current signals, converting them into a standard digital signal for the PLC while maintaining safety isolation.</p> <strong>What does the ‘non-flush’ installation mean for this sensor?</strong><br><p>’Non-flush’ (also called ‘unshielded’) means the sensor’s active face must protrude from any surrounding metal mounting surface. This design allows for a larger electromagnetic field, resulting in a longer sensing distance (30mm in this case) compared to a flush-mountable (shielded) sensor of the same size.</p> <p>Last Update: Friday, March 13, 2026</p> <p><em>spareparts2day is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
