The hygienic ultrasonic sensors of the AGVU...H series from EGE for the detection range of 150..1500 mm meet all requirements for optimum hygiene and robustness. Thanks to IP69K protection, they can be easily cleaned using high-pressure and steam cleaners. This ensures optimum hygiene, e.g. in the food and beverage industry or in medical and pharmaceutical technology, where the sensors can be used for level detection, distance measurement or presence monitoring as well as for detecting and counting moving objects. The sensors in the robust, fully encapsulated stainless steel housing with gap-free transitions are available in two sizes for different installation conditions: D30 and the particularly compact D18 design with an overall length of only 30 cm including hygienic cable gland. The integrated temperature compensation allows high measuring precision in the range from -20 °C to 70 °C. A protective circuit ensures short-circuit resistance and reverse polarity protection. Versions with analog output (4...20 mA) are supplied with fixed characteristic curves, while the desired switching point for models with switching output can be quickly and easily set via teach-in.
