Thermoplastic Sensor

This sensor is made with thermoplastic housing and features a 700 ft sensing range. Engineered to exceed NEMA 6P (IP67) ratings making this sensor an excellent choice for wash-down environments. Compatible with 10-30 VDC power connections. Unique lens design sheds water and debris reducing lens contamination. Lens is created with a material engineered to survive impacts, washdowns and harsh cleaning chemicals.

Applications:

• Vehicle Profiling (In-Bay Automatic/Rollover):  Accurately determines vehicle front and back bumper
  position. Allows gantry to travel minimal distance to ensure a quick, close wash. Helps prevent vehicle
  damage. Most powerful "burn-thru" sensor, without requiring an external amplifier.
• Entry/Exit Doors (In-Bay Automatic/Rollover and Conveyorized Tunnel): Verifies that a vehicle has either entered or exited the car wash. Prevents doors from closing on the vehicle. Dual sensors may be used: one inside and one outside. 
• Soap and Rinse Activation (Conveyorized Tunnel): Detects front of vehicle and triggers soap/foam jets and triggers rinse cycle. Remains active while vehicle is blocking the sensor.
• Dryer Activation (Conveyorized Tunnel): Triggers dryers to turn on and off. May control dryer distance from vehicle.
