The eloProtect range features a choice of housing styles based on the two most popular industry standard sizes, the 153 (see right) and 165 (see below) formats. IP69k housings are standard on both switches. The range conforms to all the appropriate safety standards and is UL/CSA approved.

Key features of the eloProtect range are:

  • IP67 and IP69k9 rating for harsh environments
  • Higher protection against manipulation
  • Mounting from both sides (left/right)
  • Bigger offset values
  • Compact construction of housing
  • Cable or pigtail with M12 connector
  • High reliability and life expectancy
  • Tamperproof sealing plugs
  • Sleek modern design
  • Series connection of up to 30 sensors

For the eloProtectM range, additional circuitry has been incorporated to reduce the possibility of manipulation from a non-coded source. Each version allows for a greater misalignment value of between 3 and 5mm. This results in a reduction of any unwanted influences due to machine vibration. The improved design means elobau offers LED indication with the normally-open contact arrangement. There is also an option of an additional control contact.

In the eloProtectE (RFID) range, there are three different coding levels to choose from, allowing the tampering protection to be set according to the application. The device has two 400mA current rated outputs and can be used as a standalone device, with no need for a safety relay, making it suitable for OEMs manufacturing small or compact products.
