Description The pms ultrasonic sensors are designed for the most demanding hygienic requirements according to EHEDG guidelines. Two versions of the sensor are available: D12 adapter shaft and D12 bayonet catch. The standard version D12 adapter shaft is mounted with a hygienic screw connection BF-pms/A1 or an adequate mounting clip. The innovative design of the stainless steel housing ensures that the pms sensor has no horizontal surfaces in almost all conceivable installation positions. Even with horizontal installation of the hygienic sensor for measuring vertical downwards, the rear side of...
