Sensor Probe
The
Fluximity
detector is a
unique double metal detection
system that utilizes an external
magnet as the operating signal
to measure metal thickness.
For example it is ideal to use
the magnetic field of a magnetic
conveyor that transports metal
blanks from process to process.
If no magnet is available, one
can be positioned so that the
blank is in contact, while the
Fluximity sensor is in position approximately 12mm away to monitor the strength.
CONTROLLER
There are four Fluximity controllers (DS71 –DS74). Only Models DS71 and DS72
Double Sheet Controllers are explained is this instruction sheet. The Fluximity system
includes a microcontroller based control module in a 18mm threaded aluminum
housing. The Controller is connected to a family of magnetic detection sensors through
an 8mm receptacle on the face of the Controller (depicted above). A four-pin 12mm
connector at the rear end provides connections for power, ground, single output and no-
double output. The Model
DS71
provides current
sourcing outputs
while the
DS72
provides
current
sinking outputs
; otherwise the two units
are functionally identical. Status and setup
controls on the face include a green power
indicator, a multi-function/multi-color LED indicator
and a pushbutton switch.
The DS71/DS72 requires power that ranges from 12 to 24 DC volts at 40mA for power.
For a Model DS72 add the anticipated output PnP load current to the 40mA when sizing
a power supply. The load current should not exceed 100mA.
