SR EN IEC 60947-5-2:2020

Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 5-2: Control circuit devices and switching elements - Proximity switches

IEC 60947-5-2:2019 applies to inductive and capacitive proximity switches that sense the presence of metallic and/or non-metallic objects, ultrasonic proximity switches that sense the presence of sound reflecting objects, photoelectric proximity switches that sense the presence of objects and non-mechanical magnetic proximity switches that sense the presence of objects with a magnetic field. This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition published in 2007 and Amendment 1:2012. This edition constitutes a technical revision. This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: <ul> <li>update of the scope;</li> <li>adaptation and update of the construction requirements according to IEC Guide 116 (e.g. material requirements, artificial optical radiation, instruction requirements, hot surface, unattended operation, foreseeable misuse…);</li> <li>modification of the specifications concerning the sensing range and operating distance;</li> <li>new definitions for photoelectric proximity switch type D with background
