Description

The Series BNS250 coded-magnet sensors are designed for use as a safety interlock switch on movable machine guards/articulating robot arms. Each sensor set consists of a multiple reed switch unit and a coded-magnet actuator. The reed switches, wired in series, will only close in the presence of their matched magnetic field array.

Both switch and magnet assemblies are sealed to IP67 (submersible) standards. Their tamper-resistant design prevents bypassing with a simple magnet or improperly coded magnetic field. In addition, the BNS module features a 1- meter long prewired pigtail.

Features & Benefits
