The DIAS Infrared GmbH provides the product line PYROVIEW compact in EEx d housing for using in explosive areas.
The housing is certified by ATEX II 2 GD EExd IIC T6 T85°C with an environmental protection degree of IP65. The integrated heater enlarges the operating temperature range down to -20°C.

Compared to conventional LED diffuse sensors, professional laser models feature improved accuracy. As a result, the professional switch point of the new Contrinex devices can be accurately set at any point within the whole setting range of 40 ... 250 mm or 60 ... 600 mm. The narrowly focussed laser beam permits the detection of smallest objects (down to 0.1 mm). The diffuse sensors are built i...

The all-metal sensors in size M8 for embeddable and non-embeddable mounting are now also available with S12 connector suppliers . These inductive Contrinex devices feature a one-piece stainless-steel housing, thus eliminating the most important weak spot of conventional sensors, i.e. the normally relatively fragile plastic sensing face. As a result, these devices are mechanically and chemically ve...
