INDUCTIVE SENSORS SI SERIES

WORKING PRINCIPLE
By applying a voltage to the oscillator coil an alternating inductive field is
created in front of the active surface of the unit.
When a metallic object (steel, aluminium, copper, brass etc.) enters this
field from any direction and the state of the oscillator is modified until the
threshold of the trigger is inverted this induces a change in the final stage
and the subsequent command of an external load.
The intervention distance depends on the type of metal and as described
earlier, in the reduction factors. All the sensors are protected against inver-
sion of polarity and electrical disturbances of inductive sources and can be
supplied with short circuit protection in the D.C. version. The main advan-
tages offered by proximity sensors in relation to normal limit switches are
mainly unlimited duration as they have no moving parts (wheels, springs
etc.) lack of maintainance requirement and elimination of possible false
contacts due to contact movement.
APPLICATIONS
Inductive sensors have wide uses in many applications, even in the most diffi-
cult working conditions for example in the presence of oils, powders, liquids
and vibrations which do not have any effect on their secure functioning.
AECO sensors are mounted on machine tools, textile machines, transfer lines,
transport systems, packaging equipment, in the automobile industry and in all

APPLICATIONS
The NAMUR (DIN 19234) proximity switches are electronic sensors whose absorbed current varies in the presence of
metallic objects.
The reduced dimensions, the low values of voltage, current and impedance (unaffected by overvoltage and excessive
current from inductive or capacitive sources), allows them to be used in various applications in both intrinsically safe and
normal areas.
Applications in intrinsically safe areas (explosive atmospheres). *
The sensor must be used with an intrinsically safe relay or an equivalent static input suitable for intrinsically safe appli-
cations.
Standard applications (normal atmospheres).
The sensor must be used with AECO supply and amplifier units ALNC, ALN2 or similar.
* When ordering, add “Ex” (Es. SI8-N1 Ex).

SELECTION OF RING SENSOR
Selection should be made based on the minimum hole diameter required.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION
In this way the sensitivity adjustment can be made within normal parameters and need not be pushed to the maximum
risking the proper functioning of the unit. Fig. 1 Fig. 2
USE WITH A DELAYED AMPLIFIERS B
S A
All types of ring sensor can work in combination with a delayed amplifier of the programmable ALTP series or ALNC series
which ensures the sensing of small objects in rapid movement. ≥S ≥S ≥S
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
After having followed the instructions regarding the choice of the most suitable unit it is recommended that the sensiti-
vity adjustment be carried out when the sensor is installed in the final position taking into account how much metal mass
is close by which could alter its functioning. The sensitivity increases turning the trimmer clockwise.
EFFECTS OF METAL IN THE CLOSE VICINITY
If a moving metal part is close to the sensing area the functioning can be disturbed.
In order to avoid this, install the units some distance from metallic objects. Ensure that this does not interfere with the
functioning. When applying to a metal surface make sure not to apply too close to ring hole otherwise sensor may not-
function correctly. Model SIA05 SIA12 SIA15 SIA22 SIA30 SIA44 SIA63 SIA100
USE OF SENSOR
A distance equal to the width of the sensor should be left between each object that passes through the sensor. If more A (Fig. 1) mm 25 30 30 60 60 300 300 600
than one sensor is to be installed in close vicinity, the minimum distance indicated between sensors should be maintai- B (Fig. 2) mm 10 10 10 20 20 250 250 650
ned as per chart indications.

INDUCTIVE RING SENSORS

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
In ring sensors, sensing is made within the ring
itself. The sensor is activated when a metallic
object is introduced within it.
They are particularly suitable for applications
where detection of small metal objects such as
screws, nuts, washers etc... is requested and
also for break detection of continuos metal
wires that pass through it. The sensor’s housing
is made of plastic and the electrical attach-
ments are available by means of a cable or M8
and M12 connectors depending on the
models.
They are supplied with fixed timing impulse
(100mS) insertable by means of an ON/OFF
switch, that makes them ideal for detection of
fast moving small metal objects.
They are available with internal diameter of 5-
12-15-22-25-30-44-63-100 mm and supplied
with NPN or PNP output, sensibility regulation,
insertion/disinsertion of impulse retention time
and LED state of condition.
All ring sensors have antivalent output
(NO+NC) accept for the types with H1 connec-
tors.
SELECTION OF RING SENSOR

Selection should be made based on the minimum hole diameter required.
In this way the sensitivity adjustment can be made within normal parameters

USE WITH A DELAYED AMPLIFIERS
All types of ring sensor can work in combination with a delayed amplifier of
the programmable ALTP series which ensures the sensing of small objects in Fig. 1
rapid movement. S A
≥S ≥S ≥S
After having followed the instructions regarding to the choice of the most suit-
able unit it is recommended that the sensitivity adjustment be carried out
when the sensor is installed in the final position taking into account how much
metal mass is close by which could alter its functioning. The sensitivity increas-
es turning the trimmer clockwise and reduces by turning it anti-clockwise.
EFFECTS OF METAL IN THE CLOSE VICINITY

If a moving metal part is close to the sensing area the functioning can be dis-
Fig. 2
turbed. B
In order to avoid this, install the units some distance from metallic objects.
Ensure that this does not interfere with the functioning.
USE OF SENSOR
A distance equal to the width of the sensor should be left between each object
that passes through the sensor. If more than one sensor is to be installed in
close vicinity, the minimum distance indicated between sensors should be
observed.

PROXIMITY CAPACITIVE SENSORS SC SERIES

WORKING PRINCIPLE
Capacitive sensors contain an oscillator transistor in the front section. The
oscillating circuit R-C (resistor-capacititor) is influenced by variations in capac-
ity in fact when any material, solid or liquid (water, wood, metals, coffee, pow-
ders, etc.) come into contact with the active surface of the sensor the capaci-
tance increases putting into action the oscillator up until the threshold of trig-
ger inverts. By introducing a change in the condition of the final stage and
therefore in the command of the external load a potentiometer makes fine
adjustements to the switching distance.
All the sensors are protected against a change of polarity and electrical distur-
bances of inductive origin, and they are protected against short circuits.
They can be supplied with rapid or delayed switching. The plastic parts of the
AECO capacitive sensors (body, plugs, oulets and locknuts) are made of
makrolon which is not toxic, non static and resistant to abrasives.
CHOICE OF A CAPACITIVE SENSOR

When choosing a capacitive sensor the final use should be kept in mind, that
is the material to be controlled, its form and composition.
The reduction factors related to every material should be remembered and
also their physical mass.
If possible it is recommended to use partially screened model, that is not
mounted flush with the surface as it is possible to take advantage of the much
BLOCK DIAGRAM OF AMPLIFIED CAPACITIVE SENSOR greater sensitive field, this means that the sensor need not be set to the max-
imum where it would be more prone to effects from temperature variations,
humidity, powder deposits, etc.
If it is necessary to install the sensor flush with the surface it is advised to make
a setting which is not too close to the maximum.
The main difference between the totally screened and partially screened types
of sensors is that at equal intervention distances the former requires a sensitiv-
ity of about the double of the latter and therefore functions under more criti-
cal conditions.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT APPLICATIONS

It is advisable that the sensitivity adjustment be carried out when the sensor Capacitive sensors are used widely as limit switches which are sensitive to all

can change in respect to the variation of the temperature of about 10% at a
temperature of -20 ÷ +70 °C. The sensitivity increases when the trimmer is
rotated in the clockwise direction and decreases in the anti-clockwise direc-
tion. The adjustment can be carried out once the plastic protection screw is
removed. If the sensor is mounted on a metallic support it is necessary to
make an earth connection in order to avoid alterations in the sensing dis-
tance of the sensor.

DELAYED PROGRAMMABLE CAPACITIVE SENSOR SC30P-RE25T TYPE

SPECIFICATIONS
This proximity sensor belongs to the capacitive sensor family, it supplies a sig-
nal to the external load which can be delayed up to 10 min. when any mate-
rial solid or liquid (water, glass, wood, metal, coffe, powders etc.) come into
the sensing area, it is used principally as a level control.
This model is completly programmable regarding the delay in energization
and de-energization with open or closed output, the sensor does in fact con-
tain a 1A 220V chengeover relay.
Due to its versatility, programmability and high power output compared to a
normal electronic sensor, the stocking of product for the wholesaler is simpli-
fied as is the adaptability of the switch to any application.
This sensor can be used with the protection housing SCM-R which is of POM
and therefore satisfies the most severe abrasion resistance requirements.
When used as a level control, this housing allows for the sensor to be substi-
tuted whenever required.

PROTECTION HOUSING FOR CAPACITIVE SENSORS SCM

SPECIFICATIONS
This is used as a wateroof protective cover for the SC30M series with connector and
SC30P series with cable output both for A.C. and D.C. supply.
The SCM housing is of non toxic material (POM) and is provided with a 1 1/2" GAS
thread which allows for its installation by using a standard fitting. This type of installa-
tion means that the sensor can be rapidly removed for testing without allowing the loss
material from the container and protects the sensor from abrasion.
Furthemore the use of the housing eliminates to a large degree variation in the sensitiv-
ity of the sensor due to deposits of material.
It is also available the protection housing for SC40P capacitive sensors.

HIGH TEMPERATURE CAPACITIVE SENSORS ALSC - SC18M-HT/SC30M-HT

GENERAL DETAILS
The high temperature sensors should be considered as part of the traditional
range of sensors with the difference that electronic portion is completly sepa-
rate from the sensing part which is in the form of an extension and can with-
stand tempeature up to 250°C.
These products are used to control the levels of hot materials such as liquids,
oil, powder and plastic granules.
They also sense solid metallic and non-metallic bodies positioned in areas of
high temperature.
The connecting cable between the sensor and the amplifier must be of stan-
dard length (2M or 5M). It is not capacitive, it resists to temperatures from -
200 to +250°C it is connected to the sensor and it is provided with a screened
connector for connection to the amplifier.
The amplifier is supplied in two different types, model ALSC-1CH which is suit-
able for one sensor and model ALSC-2CH which is suitable for two sensors, the
model ALSC-1CH can be supplied with delayed sensing.
The sensors can be supplied in the following formats M18x1 and M30x1.5
made of stainless steel and PTFE.

PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS SERIES FT

WORKING PRINCIPLE
These electronic devices, photoelectric sensors or photocells, use the light
emission principle combined with the electronic and are made up of an emit-
ter or luminous source, the light rays of which are detected by a receiver. The
variation in luminous signal, obtained when interrupting this ray, is converted
into an electrical signal and is measured and used by an electrical circuit.
The light used is either infrared or red. By making use of this light various type
of photoelectric sensors can be made.
The AECO photoelectric sensors available in the FOTOSTAR range are the
FT18M - FT18 -FTQ series in direct reflection, with reflector with polarized light
and emitter-receiver versions. Due to their flexibility regarding the various
standard programmable versions these products offer the possibility of stock-
ing reduction an are easily interchangeable with most of the units available on
the market. They are used in the field of automation to check for the presence,
countig, position control, etc., and they are compatible with most logic pro-
grammers.

FIBER OPTIC SENSORS - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Fiber optic sensors function electronically like any
other photoelectric sensor with the difference that the
light emitted and received is transported by an optical
fiber the end of which is very small and in different
forms and it can be installed some distance from the
electronic circuit.
The reduced dimension of the fiber allows the sensing
of very small objects and their installation in areas
where other sensors would not fit.
Furthermore they can be used in explosion risk areas as
well as in liquids and have a very high resistance to
mechanical damage and to vibrations which makes
them suitable for installation on machinery were
movement is involved.
They are available in the reflection and barrier emit-
ter/receiver.
The light source is red and the length of the standard
fibers is 2 metres.
TYPES
FT18M-CFR WITH FIBERS FOR DIRECT REFLECTION
In this type of function the red light emitter and
receiver are contained in one fiber (MULTI CORED)
or side by side (DOUBLE CORED).
The sensing is obtained by the reflection of the rays
of the object to be detected. The parameters that
influence the sensing distance are mainly the colour,
the reflective or the roughness of the surface to be
sensed.
The maximum sensing distances mentioned in the
technical characteristics refer to results obtained with
a piece of matt white paper dimension 10 x 10 cm. DIRECT REFLECTION Checking the missing Checking the form
terminals of components
FT18M-CFR WITH BARRIER FIBERS

EMITTER/RECEIVER
In this type of function the red light emitter and
receiver are facing each other and are made up of a
single fiber (SINGLE CORED).
Detection occurs when the rays emitted are inter-
rupted furthermore these fibers can reach at their
maximum sensitivity regulation, long distances as
there is no dispersion between emitter and receiver.
Their power can be increased by using the AT-4101
lenses.

FIBER OPTIC SENSORS - OPERATING PROCEEDURES

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE PROGRAMMING AND ADJUSTMENT
TRIMMER FOR THE SENSING RANGE ADJUSTMENT: The photocell is supplied with max. sensing range with the trimmer
totally rotated in the clockwise direction. The sensitivity reduces by rotating the trimmer in the anti-clockwise direction.
NPN
SWITCH NPN/PNP: The photocell is supplied with the switch in P (PNP output).
To change to NPN turn the switch to N in the anti-clockwise direction.
WARNING! For a correct working of the unit, do not carry out the switching when the photocell is powered.
GREEN LED - STABILITY INDICATOR: This led is on when the level of the output signal and the alignment of the
photoelectric sensors are in the optimum position. In the case that the led is off this indicates that the lens is obscured
or for the types with direct reflection a possible alteration of the dimension or color of the object to be detected.
YELLOW LED - OPERATION INDICATOR: This led is on when the object to be detected enters the sensing range of
PNP the photocell giving output signals.
N.B. SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

• After adjustment the sensitivity can vary depending on variations in the object or conditions in the area of installation.
• As reflection varies in relation to the object, adjustment should be carried out with the object present.
• After having carried out adjustment, the fixing of the way and the curvature of the fiber should not be changed.

FIBER OPTIC SENSORS - NOTES AND CAUTIONS FOR CORRECT OPERATIONS

FIBER PROBES
FIBER CUTTER AT 118
Cutting-free type plastic fibers can be cut by the optional cutter (AT118) at any
desired length
Cut the plastic fiber before connection. Make sure to cut it sharply since the
status of cutting surface influences to the sensing distance which might be
reduced by up to 20%.
Cutting should be done sharply by one action, and do not use the same hole
more than once.
FIBER FIXING
Use the supplied spring lockwasher for fixing the fibers with threaded bushing
in order not do damage the fibers with excessive force.
TYPE FIXING TORQUE Screw
When fixing the non-threaded head type with a set-screw (M3 max.) as indi-

PROXY TESTER
DESCRIPTION
Proxy Tester is a portable instrument created to satisfy the needs of
both installers as well as retailers. It makes it possible to control cor-
rect functioning of any D.C. sensor (2-3-4 wires and Namur) or mag-
netic sensor even when lacking expensive sophisticated instrumenta-
tion (stable power generators, oscilloscopes etc.). This enables a quick
check of sensor’s efficiency without having to be a specialised techni-
cian. Consequently this reduces manitenance and repair time in an
industrial automation plant where malfunction of sensor is often diffi-
cult to identify.
Proxy Tester is powered by a battery and has a battery level indicator.

TYPE CRTP
This device is composed of a central electronic unit inside a plastic undecal
insertable housing and a detecting sensor that works according to inuctive,
capacitive or photoelectric principles in NAMUR-NPN-PNP versions. Utilisation
of sensors with various size and shapes permits CRTP to be useful in any
detecting of different space and distances which makes its utilisation very vast.
PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS TYPE CRTP
1) TIME AND RPM

The time range is from 0.03 sec. and 512 sec. distributed on nine scales which
can be selected by means of the front mounted dip switches. The selected
scale can then be adjusted by means of a potentiometer which has a graduat-
ed scale from 0.05÷1.
It is possible by summing two or more scales to obtain full scale values which
are different to the standard ones, this is obtained by placing the switch with
the values preselected in the ON position (e. g.: Pos. 2 and 4 swith on corre-
spods to a full scale of 144 seconds). This operation can also be carried out on
the RPM scale. For the conversion time/RPM see chart 1 at page 90.
2) FUNCTION A-B
When the CRTP gives out a signal of standstill or slowing down it is possible to

CAPACITIVE LEVEL CONTROLS SC - SCD SERIES

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The principle is based on the bahaviour of a capacitor the capacitance of which
depends on the area of the armatures in the vicinity, the distances between
them and the dielectric constant of the material.
In the case of a capacitive level control the armatures of the capacitor are rep-
resented by the walls of the tank on one side and by the electrode of a probe,
isolated from the walls on the other.
As the surfaces of the electrode and the walls of the tank remain constant the
only variable is the material which acts as the dielectric. The dielectric constant
relative to air or vacuum is 1, whilst by definition that of any other material is
greater than 1, therefore by varying the quantity of material in the tank the
capacitance of the capacitor is varied and this is measured by applying to the
electrodes a high frequency alternating voltage and as the capacitance increas-
es as a result in the increasing level in the tank the current flowing in the
capacitor also increases.
This value of frequency current is transformed by the control circuit into a cur-
rent which is used to indicate the level.
APPLICATIONS
Capacitive level controls are widely used where it is necessary to control with
a good safety margin of intervention the level of substances both liquid and
solid which may not be conductive.
They are particularly used in silos for cereals, foodstuffs, seeds, biscuit plants
and the food industry in general.
They are also used in the transport, dosing, stocking and handling of plastic
materials, petrochemical products, in foundries and cement factories.
The field of use is vast and is practically anywhere where it is necessary to con-
trol the level inside tanks which contain many types of different material.
MAX MIN
After having installed the probe, if the tank is not conductive, carry out the MAX
earthing of the probe by connecting to the connector placed on the probe. In
order to calibrate the sensitivity the adjustment potentiometer should be
adjusted with the probe free from material until the point at which the relay
switches is found and this should be noted on the potentimeter. The probe
should then be immersed in the material to be controlled and the poten-
tiometer should be adjusted once again until the relay switches, once again
note the position. As a last operation place the position of the potentiometer MIN
in the mid position between the two markings. Both the SC model with incor-
porated power supply and the SCD model with separate power supply are
supplied with a min/max level security switch which can be positioned
depending on the control function that is to be carried out.
LIMITATIONS
When using capacitive probes is should be borne in mind that large deposits The value of the dielectric constant of the material must not be too low, it must

MECHANICAL LEVEL CONTROL FOR SOLIDS SE-A

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
They are used for the level control in containers holding product in powder or
granule form. The body is of cast aluminium with a cable gland at the output
and a stainless steel shaft mounted on sealed roller bearings, the paddle is
aluminium.
The functioning is based on the slow rotation of a 3 watt syncronous motor
which turns the paddle which is placed in the container. In the absence of
material the paddle turns, material coming into contact with the paddle caus-
es a breaking effect which slows down the motor and in turn causes the unit
to switch.
A second switch switches off the power of the motor.
The paddle starts to rotate again when the material in the container falls free-
ing the paddle.
MOUNTING
The unit is placed on the external wall of the container fixing it by means of
the 6 hole flange.
The material must be able to move freely around the paddle and this must not
be installed in the jet of material.
In order to avoid this it may be necessary to install deflectors above the unit
when the mass of the material is high.

MEMBRANE LEVEL CONTROL FOR SOLIDS SM-85

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This unit is suitable for controlling the maximum and min-
imum levels. In silos and tanks containing materials such
as powder, granule, such as rice, cereals, plastic material,
coffee, sand, etc.
Its functioning is due to the pressure created by a product
on the rubber membrane which activates a fast acting
microswitch.
The sensitivity of the switching can be adjusted by means
of a screw placed on the lid of the unit, adjustment is
made depending on the material to be sensed as a func-
tion of its specific weight.
Variations in humidity and temperature do not compro-
mise the functioning, furthermore the membrane is resist-
ant to blows and vibrations.
MOUNTING
The unit must be assembled on the external wall of silos
or tanks by means of the three holes situated on the fix-
ing flanges and by making a hole of 86 mm diameter in
the container so as to allow contact with the material.

CONDUCTIVITY LEVEL CONTROL FOR LIQUIDS CL1001-CL1002 SERIES

WORKING PRINCIPLE
The CL 1001 - CL 1002 level controls work on the resistivity of liquids
and sense the level via the electrodes placed in the conductive liquids.
The presence of liquid between the electrode (or electrodes) and the
metal surface of the container (or earth electrode) causes the func-
tioning of the electronic circuit in the control unit and the subsequent
commutation of the output relay.
It is also possible to sense solids as long as the conductivity of the
material is within the range of the unit which in its standard form
reaches 40 KOhm.
Other models which can sense materials with a resistivity up to
1 MOhm are available on request. The low alternating voltage and
current applied to the electrodes and the isolation level between them
guarantees a safe operation.
They are used as level controls in tanks, heaters deep wells and other
containers and as alarm units for overfilling, presence or absence in
any position and the checking of ice accumulation.
The unit is supplied in single voltage form with an octal base and is
interchangable with most of the units available on the market. It can
also be supplied in a multivoltage version with undecal base.

POWER SUPPLIES - AMPLIFIERS ALNC - ALN2

SPECIFICATIONS
These instruments are made up of a transformer an
amplifier and a transistor, a rectifying circuit and
one or two output relays with changeover con-
tacts, respectively in the ALNC and ALN2 types.
They are used to supply with a stabilized and level
12 Vdc voltage inductive and capacitive sensors
and photocells. The electronic unit of the two
models is assembled in a plastic container with 11
Pin socket.
The ALNC model is very versatile as it permits the
use of a sensor with NPN, PNP or NAMUR logic.
The ALN2 type allows for the use of two NAMUR
sensor.

PROGRAMMABLE POWER SUPPLY - AMPLIFIER ALTP

SPECIFICATIONS
These units are very versatile as they can be used with all NAMUR, NPN
and PNP sensors, functioning with relay ON or OFF load with a timing
function in both states.
Furthermore they have a programmable time scale from 0,03 seconds to
12 minutes.
PROGRAMMABLE FUNCTIONS
1) DELAY
The range of delay is from 0,03 seconds and 512 seconds (see table A) dis-
tribuited on 9 selectable scales via a dip switch mounted on the front. The
selected scale can be adjusted by means of a potentiometer on a graduated
scale from 0,05 to 1. It is possible by summing the two scales to obtain full
scale values which are different to the standard. This is obtained by placing the
switch with the chosen values in the ON position (e.g. pos. 1 an 2 switch ON
corresponds to a full scale of 640 seconds).
2) TYPE OF FUNCTION AND SENSOR
For this function it is necessary to simultaneously programme the dip switch-
es of position 10 - 11 - 12. Following table B it is possible to programme the
instrument with an on delay (TE) or off delay (TD) depending on the sensor
NAMUR, NPN or PNP.
Furthermore it is possible to programme these functions with relay on load
(ON) and off load (OFF).
