The X112 LIPS® (Linear Induction Position
Sensor) is ATEX approved for use in potentially explosive gas/vapour
atmospheres. It is designed for gauge head positioning in industrial
and scientific applications and is ideal for OEMs seeking good sensor
performance for arduous applications in hazardous areas. The X112,
like all Positek sensors, provides a linear output proportional to
displacement. Each sensor is supplied with the output calibrated to
the travel required by the customer, from 10mm to 50mm and with full
EMC protection built in.
Overall performance, repeatability and stability are outstanding over
a wide temperature range. The sensor is very robust, the body and
plunger being made of stainless steel for long service life and environmental
resistance.
The plunger is spring loaded with a domed end. The X112 is easy to
install with a long ½ inch UNF mounting thread and is supplied
with two lock nuts for positioning. Environmental sealing is to IP67.
Positek intrinsically safe sensors are designed to be used with a galvanically isolated barrier. Approved barriers are available from Positek; there is a choice of 0.5-9.5V or 4-20mA transmission outputs.
Sensor can be installed with a cable length up to 150m from the barrier.
