Carlo Gavazzi is a company offering a wide range of industrial automation equipment for measuring, monitoring and switching devices. Sensor technology: including opto-electronic sensors, ultrasonic sensors, inductive, capacitive and magnetic proximity switches for a wide range of applications, as well as optical, conductive, capacitive and magnetic level switches. Monitoring devices: including energy counters for AC and DC, network analysers with and without MID certification, and LoRaWAN master gateways and LoRa terminal adapters for wireless data transmission. Switching devices: These include semiconductor relays for board mounting or industrial forms for switching DC or AC loads, as well as semiconductor contactors for DIN rail mounting. They also offer semiconductor relays and contactors with Modbus or Profinet communication interfaces, as well as proportional thyristor controllers with 1, 2 or 3 poles.

Inductive sensors
Mobile machinery is one of the most demanding application areas for sensors. Every installation on refuse collection vehicles, mobile cranes, concrete mixers, tractors or fire engines is exposed to extreme conditions: shock and vibration loads, extreme temperature conditions, voltage fluctuations due to voltage peaks and voltage dips, as well as cleaning cycles in high-pressure washers or electromagnetic interferences. ics E1 inductive sensors have been developed specifically for use in vehicles, where their daily use under harsh conditions must guarantee Its reliable operation ensures accurate and reliable position detection of moving parts in moving machinery.

Product features
Robust M12, M18 or M30 stainless steel housing.
2 metre PUR connection cable or M12 connector
Flush or non-flush mounting
Switching output: PNP or NPN
Switch type: normally open or normally closed
High switching distances from 4 to 22 metres
E1 type approved and resistant to radiated interference up to 200 V/m
Integrated load sag protection prevents voltage spikes from damaging the sensor power supply
Resistant to 20g vibration, 100g shock and 40g continuous shock
Wide voltage range of 8 to 60VDC, wide power supply range ensures reliable sensor operation. Safe operation is ensured even in the event of voltage spikes caused by discharging, voltage increases when charging car batteries, or voltage spikes when switching large electrical loads (e.g. hydraulic pumps).
The extended temperature range of -40 to +85°C has been taken into account in the selection of components for the ICS E1 sensors when they are used in extreme outdoor temperature conditions. The sensors must also work reliably when mounted in the vicinity of engines or exhaust pipes where heat is generated
Unloading protection, due to the effects of corrosion or loose contacts, the car battery may be disconnected from the alternator during charging. The resulting surge voltage can damage the supply circuit. The voltage supply in the sensor is protected by a load-surge protection function in accordance with DIN ISO 7637-2/SAE J1113-11.
High mechanical resistance, the robust stainless steel housing not only prevents corrosion of the sensor by salt water, but also increases the sensor's resistance to shock and vibration. the high protection rating of IP69K not only protects against the ingress of water and dust in normal operation, but also the high pressures and temperatures that the sensor has to withstand when washing the vehicle with a high-pressure washer in order to remove oil, dirt, lubricants and soil
As a customised solution, the ICS E1 model with PUR connecting cable is also available on request as a pigtail model with universal connectors from well-known manufacturers such as Deutsch, Packard or Molex (please note the minimum order quantity).
