Norstat now offers the FEMTO PRESSURE and VACUUM Sensor, a sensor designed with a transistor switching output plus an additional analog output.
The FEMTO is truly a multi-functional sensor as it has both an adjustable transistor switching output (loadable with 250 mA) as well as an additional analog output. With its compact yet rugged design and ability to be programmable via a keyboard this sensor can accurately control actuators directly or indirectly and at the same time and give out an analog measured value proportional to the applied pressure/vacuum. These properties, along with its ability to operate using filtered, dry or oiled air and non-corrosive gasses, make the FEMTO ideally suited for applications in the pneumatic field.
The FEMTO has a plastic PC housing with brass nickel-plated process connections and utilizes a M8, 4 pole electrical connection. Output is 1x switching signal ( PNP ), Analog output 1-5V with NO/NC output function ( Programmable ). The sensors also have short circuit and reverse polarity protection and a measuring range of -1…0 bar, -1…10bar and use LED’s for status and switching indicators. Protection rating is IP 65 and the FEMTO can operate in temperature ranges of -20°C to +85°C.
