The choice for AC feedback signals. Rhodium TTL SPDT / SPST - Rhodium elements are rated 1A at 24VDC, for low current / voltage DC control signal applications (less than 20ma). MTBF > 1,000,000 cycles, contact resistance 1/5 of Tungsten Bifurcated TTL SPST switches made popular by their excellent low current handling capability - 5mA @ 5V. Krystal TTL SPDT - LED Set Lights plus Rhodium elements provide 0.3A current rating at 24VDC or 120 VAC. TTL switches are driven by a nickel plated magnet encapsulated in the cam mounted on the shaft. The magnet trips the switch element enclosed in the switch housing. Moniteur’s patented loc-ring shaft retention system insures reliable output signals. Non-Contact “Proximity” Switches Choose TTL Switches for damp, humid or corrosive environments, low current feedback signals and high cycling applications where signal reliability is critical to the process. TTL Switches are hermetically sealed and can be used in Division 2 - Groups A, B, C & D environments without conduit seal fittings.

They are the most reliable sensor type, with a MTBF of over 20 million cycles. When the metallic trigger enters the sensor’s magnetic field, the signal strength changes. This signal differential is used to indicate valve position. Pepperl & Fuchs popular NJ2-V3 NAMUR sensor is FM approved Intrinsically Safe and is specified at plants worldwide. NBB2-V3-Z4, NBB2-V3-US, and SJ1.5- SN/S1N sensors are also available Efector NS 5003 NAMUR sensor is also FM approved Intrinsically Safe and includes setting lights built into the sensor Inductive Sensors Choose Inductive Sensors for applications requiring 2-wire sensor output. Because they consume power during normal operation, Inductive Sensors can and must have Intrinsically Safe approval to be used in a hazardous area. Inductive Sensors match your advanced Process Control System

Field Experience: Intermittent feedback signals Cause: Cams not set properly Solution: Set cams with a meter and not by eye - this is a common problem
