Functional Description
The detectors operate by detecting the magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet mounted on a piston. This field causes a change in the resistance of semiconductors, generating a switching signal. They are static, non-contact proximity switches designed for air cylinders with built-in permanent magnets.
Connection and Electrical Protection
The detectors are connected via a PVC lead outlet with stripped ends. They are protected against short-circuits if the output current is limited to 0.1 A. Proper wire connection is crucial to prevent operational failure or damage. A protection diode is recommended for inductive loads.
Accessories
Accessories include a detector position adjustment memory unit and compatible barriers and interfaces from manufacturers like PEPPERL & FUCHS and MTL. The document also lists type approval certificates and classification zones for the detectors.

MAGNETIC POSITION DETECTORS for "T" grooves magneto-resistive (MR) Detectors designed for use in explosive atmosphere zones 0-20, 1-21, 2-22, according to ATEX directive 2014/34/EU. Static non-contact proximity switch on air cylinders equipped with built-in permanent magnets. FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION When the permanent magnet which is mounted on the piston approaches the detector the magnetic field it generates causes the semiconductors’ resistors to change. This current variation increases the resistance and a switching signal is generated.
