Sensor of hygiene: the mechanical actuator substitutes by a compact white

Picture of Sensor of hygiene
The AZ 16 is for a lot of companies the switch of hygiene by excellence. The Group Schmersal has produced a lot of million units of this series and the switch keeps on being very popular. Schmersal Presents a sensor of hygiene that will help to a lot of users to give the from the beginning electromechanical step until the control without contact of doors of resguardos. In spite of containing the last technology of sensors, the basic size of the CSS 16 is exactly the same that the one of the AZ 16, with the difference that in the devices CSS the mechanical actuator substitutes by a compact white.

The technology CSS, developed and patented by Schmersal, allows a bisteeringal communication between the sensor and the white and therefore it offers distinctive advantages. The principle of ‘Sensor of hygiene Encoded' (CSS, by his acronyms in English) allows distances of conmutación long. The sensors tolerate the performance desalineada and issue a warning when the actuator operates near of the margin of histéresis. In this way, if for example it exists an unfit in a door of a protect, the user is informed with sufficient time to realise the necessary readjustments. It is thus by what this principle of operation offers a high immunity to the interferences, as well as a big protection in front of manipulations.

Another advantage of the technology CSS is the possibility to connect in series until 31 devices autocontrolados (the number depends on the series used), fulfilling the requirements of the Category of Control 4 or the level of provision ‘and' as the norm IN 13849-1. The different variants of connection and the wide range of accessories of cableado allow a link IP 67 elegant with the machine without that see affected the level of hygiene. The manufacturer of machines no longer needs a module of control of hygiene for each device of conmutación, with what save costs.

Besides, the technology CSS provides additional information that can use to obtain diagnostics, with what increases the availability of the machine. For the compilation, transfer and evaluation of the signals of diagnostic exists a new generation of runways with interfaces for different bus systems.
