EN 61010-1:2001 The KD-2446 unit requires the use of a limited energy power supply circuit per EN 61010-1:2001 Article 9.3. The KD-2446 does not use or switch voltages in excess of 60 VDC or 42.4 VAC peak (30 VAC rms).
Many sensors come with integral sensor cables. Routing this cable in some applications is difficult and something you only want to do once. Including an in-line connector splice in the cable, near the sensor itself, allows for easy sensor replacement should the need arise.
Some applications pass the sensor through a pressure boundary, most commonly a vacuum chamber wall. We offer an in-line hermetic bulkhead splice for these applications.
