Leak Detection Sensor EX-F70/EX-F60

High-speed detection even a little liquid leak

UL , CE , Korean S Mark Approved
UL : Recognition
Korea’s S-mark certification : Excluding NPN output type

Features
Reliable detection [EX-F70]

– Capillarity effect
The unique effect of capillarity enables reliable detection of small leaks and viscous liquids.

– New type of detection method

When a leak occurs, the beam from the beam-emitting part scatters through the leaked liquid and is not transmitted to the beam-receiving part.

Compact, space-saving [EX-F70]

This slim (10 mm 0.394 in) side-mounting sensor is especially good for use in confined spaces.

No need for sensitivity adjustment [EX-F70]

No need for sensitivity adjustment with adjuster, so initial mounting is easy.

Easy operation check [EX-F70]

This sensor is equipped with a NORMAL indicator (green) which lights up when mounting correctly, and a FAULT indicator (red) which lights up when sensing the leaked liquid or when mounted incorrectly (forgetting to mount exclusive mounting bracket). So, the operation can be checked easily.

Safe design [EX-F70]

If the sensor is not mounted correctly, if the cable is broken or disconnected, or if the sensor is not operating correctly, the output is the same as when the beam is not received (LEAK).
Design deals with human errors such as, forgetting to mount, etc.

PVC mounting bracket available [EX-F72□]

A mounting bracket made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is available. This mounting bracket can be used normally in environments that normal metal brackets would corrode.

PFA enclosure gives excellent chemical resistance [EX-F60]

The sensor enclosure and the cable sheath are made from PFA which is highly resistant to chemicals. Accurate sensing is achieved even if there are leaks of chemicals such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid or ammonia.

Easy installation & reset [EX-F60]

The simplified shape makes it easy to clean up after liquid leaks, simply by wiping off the liquid, and no parts need to be replaced.

Compact, space-saving [EX-F60]

Even with its built-in amplifier, the size is compact at W26 x H19 x D9 mm W1.024 x H0.748 x D0.354 in, so that it can be used even in narrow spaces

Wire-saving unit made especially for connecting leak detection sensors! [EX-FC1]

– Saves wiring! Connects up to 8 leak detection sensors
EX-FC1 is a simple wire-saving unit for exclusive use with EX-F71/72, EX-F61/F62 leak detection sensors. (It can be used with general sensors as well.)
EX-FC1 integrates the outputs from up to 8 leak detection sensors into a single OR output, so significant wiring and space savings are achieved.
* Even with only one leak detection sensor connected, an OFF signal is output if the sensor detects liquid leakage, or if the unit has been installed incorrectly.

– Slim & compact
Space savings are significant, as the ultra-thin & compact EX-FC1 has main unit body dimensions of only W20 x H80 x D52 mm W0.787 x H3.150 x D2.047 in.

– Connects easily with one-touch connector Connections are made by simply inserting the leak detection sensor cable leads into the snap male connector SL-CP1, then push until the connector snap-locks! This saves the time and the trouble of stripping the insulation from each lead before attaching to terminals.
