Model DS60

Single Probe - Small Double Metal Sheet Detector for Tough Locations

PRIME’S …NEW

The Model DS60 offers the economy of a small self-contained sensor package without compromising the sensing or the control functions. The split arrangement allows installation of the control outside the hazardous or inaccessible area where the probe must be located.

The control module is a 18-mm threaded aluminum housing. No additional enclosure is necessary because both the DS60 and probe meet IP67 sealing standards. View Installation Instructions

With one of four Prime Model PMxx, it detects steel (ferrous metals) over a thickness range of .05-mm to 1.5-mm (.002” to .060”). The system works by measuring a change in the magnetic field as metal contacts or slides across its face

These probes connect through a IP67 connector located on the top or face of the DS60 Control. Also located on top of the control are a Green LED power indicator, a Amber LED multifunction indicator and a pushbutton switch used to calibrate and indicate the status of the system.

A four-pin connector at the rear provides connections for power, ground, sourcing output, and sinking output.

Features...

Sense

 
ferrous metal, steel, tinplate, galvanized, magnetic stainless

Thickness Range

  .05 mm to 1.5 mm single thickness (.002 “ - .060”)

Calibration

  Two options. One push of the switch instantly measures single metal blank thickness; calculates the double thickness; sets reject 30% above measured value. Second requires two samples, sets thickness range, rejects at mid- range between to sample values

Visual Meter

  Increase flashing of amber lamp rate as thicker metal is detected

Connection

  Sealed IP67 connector & cable

Split Self-contained

  System package permits mounting probe in hazardous area with control adjustments located out in a safe location

Two Outputs

  Fast, Solid State, DC Sinking and Sourcing

Specifications:
Power input: V in = 12 to 24 Volts DC
Output PNP transistor sourcing Single Sheet= V in minus 1 volt No Sheet = 0 V dc Maximum load source 24 Volts, 100mA max. NPN transistor sinking Single Sheet = 5 to 30 V dc @ 100 mA max No Sheet = 0 V dc
Output fail Safe: Contact goes to double condition. PNP changes to nothing condition. Flashing indicators sequence code identify problems.
Metal Sensitivity: Ferrous metal, steel, tinplate
Thickness range: .04-mm to 1.5-mm (.002” to .060”)
Calibration: Push-button switch with single sheet or double sheet sample
Indicators: Green power, amber for double, amber blinking probe is bad calibrate E
Sensor Operation: Permanent magnetic flux field is shunted across sensor poles by the thickness of metal. Maximum thickness is limited by the diameter of the probe. The chart below provides a range for each probe.
