Scope

This part of IEC 60947 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. These proximity switches are self-contained, have semiconductor switching elements(s) and are intended to be connected to circuits, the rated voltage of which does not exceed 250 V 50 Hz/60 Hz a.c. or 300 V d.c. This Standard is not intended to cover proximity switches with analogue outputs. The object of this standard is to state for proximity switches: - definitions; - classification; - characteristics; - product information; - normal service, mounting and transport conditions; - constructional and performance requirements; - tests to verify rated characteristics. 1.1 DV Addition of 1.1 DV.1 - 1.1 DV.3: 1.1DV.1 This equipment is for use in ordinary locations in accordance with the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70. 1.1DV.2 These requirements cover electronic proximity switches for use on industrial machinery or mass-production industrial equipment as defined by the Electrical Standard for Industrial Machinery, NFPA 79. 1.1DV.3 Equipment intended for use in hazardous locations as defined by the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 are covered by the Standard for Industrial Control Equipment for Use in Hazardous (Classified) Locations, UL 698. 1.1DV Addition of 1.1DV.4: 1.1DV.4 Equipment requirements are intended for use in an ambient temperature of 0 to 40?C degrees unless specified otherwise
