Description
The ultrasonic switch UPY 300 RA 24 is used instead of a conventional electric wall mounted switch when a non contact operation is necessary (e.g. sliding doors, lights etc.). This complies with certain hygienic requirement in, for example, the food processing industry, hospitals and clean rooms.
The advantage of ultrasonic sensors compared to optical switches is that they are less susceptible to dirt and are fully water resistant. The sensor diaphragm is protected against mechanical wear by an orifice. The sensor reacts only to presence and not to movements. As soon as an object (e.g. a hand) is within the 30cm detection zone, the built-in relay switches. Since the sensor senses the time of flight and not an intensity (as usual with optical sensors), it has a 100% background suppression. Loads of up to 30VAC/DC and 6A can be switched with the mono stable relay.
The UPY switch is supplied built into a suitable cover for either wall or surface mount. The precise cover type required is specified at the time of ordering. If required, covers can be sent with the order for further processing.
