• Explosion-Proof Protection: Certified for use in hazardous areas (Zone 1/21, Zone 2/22). Ensures operational safety where flammable gases, vapors, or dusts are present.
• Rugged Metal Housing: The stainless steel sensing face and brass housing offer high resistance to mechanical impact, corrosion, and harsh industrial conditions.
• AC 230V Operating Voltage: Directly compatible with standard mains voltage, simplifying integration into existing control systems.
• Non-Contact Sensing: Inductive technology ensures a long operational lifespan with no moving parts, eliminating mechanical wear and tear.
• Fixed Sensing Distance: A reliable 20 mm switching distance provides consistent and precise detection of ferrous metals.

The Pepperl+Fuchs WE77/Ex-1 230V AC is a heavy-duty, intrinsically safe inductive proximity sensor engineered for reliable operation in explosive atmospheres. Its robust construction and international certifications make it a critical component for ensuring safety and continuity in demanding industrial environments such as chemical plants, oil and gas facilities, and mining operations. This sensor detects metallic objects without physical contact, providing wear-free switching.
