The Canfield Connector Electronic Tilt Switch is a rugged, non-mercury, all electronic sensor designed to trigger a precision output based on user defined angles of slope, tilt, or elevation of an object with respect to gravity, based on an artificial horizon.

The Canfield Connector ETS Series is an all solid-state MEMs device designed to measure tilt and facilitate either a high or low signal output, while internally calculating the data within 0.5 degrees accuracy up to a preset trigger point within +/- 85 degrees.

The unit features a rugged metal housing and is epoxy encapsulated for vibration, dust and water resistance to IP69K.

The ETS Series is omnidirectional and boasts a temperature drift of +/- 1° maximum with a temperature range of -40 to 85°C.

The ETS Series is digitally and temperature compensated and precisely calibrated to remove non-linearity of the trip point.

Applications for Tilt Switches such as the ETS Series include platform leveling, motion limit sensing, boom angle sensing, cameras, machine arm angle sensing as well as mobile security systems.

The unit comes with PVC wire (PUR on request), 9ft. length with other lengths and quick connections available.

The unit is installed in place by use of two 4.2mm holes.

The Canfield Connector Model OSV is a fully-modular, easily-installable, optical sensor and valve combination for conveyor automation.

This unit is designed for sensing objects moving through conveyor zones in order to maximize product flow while preventing product damage.

By incorporating solid-state electronics and a low wattage solenoid valve, the OSV uses logic and manual inputs to reliably control a pneumatic actuator.

The actuator either extends or retracts, controlling the movement of the conveyor zone.

Features include adjustable sensitivity and output delay with LEDs to facilitate troubleshooting and a visual display of sensor modes.

These LEDs indicate power status, beam alignment, beam clear, object detected, valve output, and slug mode.

The modular design allows easy component replacement.

The OSV is a reliable alternative to expensive, high-maintenance, pneumatic accumulation zones.

The Canfield Connector Series D5400 Micro Solenoid Driver is a NEMA 4 DIN 43650 Form "A" / ISO 4400, EN175301-803:2000 and MINI type connector with a built in electronic circuit used to induce solenoid pull-in and reduce holding current.

The time proven MSD has been designed into many applications where heat buildup occurs which reduces operating efficiency and life span of solenoid valves.

The MSD has two main functions: one is to induce faster or stronger than usual response times at solenoid pull-in, the second is to reduce the net wattage of the solenoid during hold-in.

The MSD drives the coil with a high input voltage for a fixed time period until the coil has shifted at which time the MSD reduces the holding voltage, which saves power, and the solenoid runs cool.

The MSD is often used to replace low voltage power supplies where a 24 VDC solenoid valve can then be operated by 120 VAC.

The Alternating current is rectified and the duty cycle reduced so as to operate the valve at proper voltage and wattage ranges.

An additional advantage can be found when the MSD drops the holding voltage, which then reduces heat and current requirements.

The Canfield Connector Series B5950 is a rugged proportional driver built into an epoxy potted enclosure designed to control linear proportional solenoid operators.

Features include selectable control signal inputs from 0-5V or 0-20 mA with adjustable min/max current output.

The output steps to the minimum current setting when 0.1V or 0.4 mA is applied to the control signal input.

Also included in the compact package is a 0.1 to 20 second adjustable ramp-up and ramp-down output and sine wave dithering (PWM) with adjustable amplitude and frequency.

The B5950 has an output current that is proportional to the command signal input.

Assembly and mounting of the unit is accomplished by use of a 6mm diameter mounting hole in the body of the unit.

Connection is made by use of a miniature header strip which accommodates stranded or solid wire to 3mm diameter.

Adjustments are easily accessible on the top surface of the unit.

Additional features include on-board diagnostics such as a red indicator light for power and a yellow indicator light for output to the solenoid.

The B5950 can be used to control any solenoid operator designed to meet the technical specifications as shown on this brochure.
