Overview
The Migatron RPS-2300-36 is an ultrasonic proximity and ranging sensor designed for industrial automation, level control, and material detection. This 36-inch range variant features two independent, isolated form C relay outputs, dual range-adjustment controls, and a sealed remote transducer. It operates at 222 kHz for precise, non-contact detection independent of target color, density, or reflectivity.
Key Features
- Dual Relay Outputs: Two independent, isolated form C relays with N.O. and N.C. contacts for simultaneous high and low-level control or two independent set points
- Sealed Transducer Design: Silicon rubber sensing face with Delrin/epoxy construction resists dirt, moisture, and harsh environments
- Narrow Sensing Beam: Approximately 1.5″ diameter at 4.5″ distance minimizes false triggers and interference
- Master/Slave Capability: Unique feature enables multiple units in close proximity without cross-talk interference
- Remote Transducer: Allows sensor head installation in cramped spaces while controller remains accessible
- Adjustable Delay Controls: Separate turn-on and turn-off delay potentiometers for each set point
- LED Indicators: Visual feedback of detection status and operational state
