Sense
e-Catalog
Sense is a non-contact safety sensor consists of two complementary parts that can sense each other’s presence without mechanical contact. This enables more flexible mounting compared to traditional mechanical switches. Sense is constantly communicating between the two parts and any failure will directly lead to a stop signal. Sense works together with safety relays (ex. Sentry Safety Relay) and Safety PLCs (ex. Pluto Safety PLC).
Features and benefits
Easy to install
- Available in all industry standard footprints (Stainless Steel (Z) and Plastic housing). Different models allow for easier installation with different sensing angles
- Commonly stocked with 5m flying lead cables and M12 8pin 250mm pig tail Quick Connect
Continuous operation
- All fitted with back plates to prevent the shrinkage of encapsulation often caused by temperature fluctuations
- Stainless steel 316 body and a IP67/IP69K rating available, resistant to harsh environments with both dirt and water
- Hygienic designs available
Optimum interface
- Sense can be connected to a safety relay (e.g Sentry Safety Relay) or safety PLC (e.g Pluto Safety PLC)
- Both magnetic (reed switches) and coded (transistors) non-contact options available, depending on your guarding requirements. Coded versions have a built in LED for status

Application
Used for interlocking (monitors) moveable guards (ex. doors and hatches). These can also be used for safe position monitoring. For use with the safety relay (ex. Sentry Safety Relays) or Safety PLCs (ex. Pluto Safety PLC).
