Proximity switchesseries RZT7 and MZT8 |
|
These proximity switches are produced as reed switches or electronic switches. Advantage of these switches is that they can be used with all types of Stránský a Petržík‘s cylinders. It means, that there can be used not only several diametrs but also more types of cylinders (VDMA, compact, DIN ISO, etc.) in pneumatic circuit and for all cylinders only one type of switch can be used (it is necessary to select proper bracket for various types of cylinder - see table bellow). It brings cost savings at designing electrical cirquits, at connection as well as at cirquit maintaining. Switch can be used with cylinders with T-slot made by other producers. |

Rules for using of proximity switches
WarningDo not exceed specification, permanent damage to the sensor may occur. |
1. | For reed switch type sensors, polarity must also be observed for the proper functioning of LED. Connect the brown wire in series with load positive (+) and the blue wire to negative (-) of power source. If the polarity is reversed, reed switch remains functional but LED will remain in “OFF” state. | |

2. | For solid-state type sensors , polarity must also be observed . Connect brown (red for SP-472 switch) wire to the positive (+) and the blue to the negative (-) of DC power source. The black (white for SP-472 switch) wire must connect to the load only. If the black (white for SP-472 switch) wire is accidentally connected to the power source, permanent damage to the sensor may occur. | |

3. | An external protection circuit may be required if the reed switch is used with inductive load. For DC voltage, the diode must be connected, for AC voltage, the RC circuit must be connected as shown below. | |
DC power |
AC power R: 2,7kΩ C: 0,1µf/600V |
|
4. | Keep sensors away form stray magnetic field to prevent malfunctions. | |
5. | When using reed switch with capacitive load or if the lead wire length exceed 10 meters, an inductor must be installed in series. | |
