EN 60947-5-2:1998
(Main)Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 5-2: Control circuit devices and switching elements - Proximity switches
Low-voltage switchgear and controlgear - Part 5-2: Control circuit devices and switching elements - Proximity switches
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 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.

Appareillage à basse tension - Partie 5-2: Appareils et éléments de commutation pour circuits de commande - Détecteurs de proximité
S'applique aux détecteurs de proximité inductifs et capacitifs qui détectent la présence d'objets métalliques et/ou non métalliques, aux détecteurs de proximité ultrasoniques qui détectent la présence d'objets réfléchissantS les ultrasons, aux détecteurs de proximité photoélectriques qui détectent la présence d'objets et aux détecteurs de proximité magnétiques non mécaniques qui détectent la présence d'objets avec un champ magnétique. Ces détecteurs de proximité sont des appareils complets, comprenant des éléments de commutation à semiconducteurs et sont destinés à être connectés à des circuits dont la tension nominale n'excède pas 250 V 50 Hz/60 Hz courant alternatif ou 300 V courant continu. La présente norme n'est pas prévue pour couvrir les détecteurs de proximité analogiques.
