2 - What is the environment? I 3 - What is your input voltage? o 4 - What are you controlling? Many situations have developed that have resulted in the loss of valuable production hours, due to not enough time being taken to choose the correct sensor for the application. These situations can be avoided if each application is systematically approached in the following manner. Which sensor? Four basic questions should be asked: 2 - What is the environment? Consider the surrounding and working conditions, steam coolant, metal surfaces, temperature both high and low, all can influence the performance...
