NG501A Applications
The IFM NG501A is an inductive NAMUR sensor used for position and presence detection in hazardous (gas and dust Ex) areas. It is suited for valve position feedback, end-position and rotation monitoring on equipment in ATEX Zone-0/20 environments. Designed for connection to certified intrinsically safe circuits via a NAMUR switching amplifier, it carries ATEX II 1G / 1D Ex ia marking, offers an 8 mm sensing range in a robust metal housing, and provides clearly visible LED switching indication with a permanently legible laser type label.
