MK2- Series

MK2/2 - MK2/3
Magnet Bridging Sensor for security applications

Characteristics

These proximity switches operate when in the presence of magnetically conductive material. Instead of an actuating magnet, only a simple piece of iron is required to operate the switch - from the front or from above.  These sensors are available as form A and form B switches.  The standard cable is a 4 - wire round core 4 x 0.14 mm² (cable sheath and wires are white) forming a sabotage loop.

Applications

  • Door and window control
  • Opening recognition control
  • Fastening bolt control
  • Building BUS technology
  • Fire protection doors

Dimensions

Tolerance +/- 0.10mm (0.004 inch)

Termination

The standard termination is a four-wire UL-approved round cable with a cross section of 4 x 0.14mm²; white colored cable sheath and wires with integrated sabotage loop. The standard cable length is 500mm, other lengths can be supplied on request. The required length has to be stated in the part number. The cable end can be supplied with the following connection styles (please note after the length in the part number).

W Cable end cut, dismantled on 30 mm, cores stripped and tinned on 5 mm
