The new Virtu™ ultrasonic sensor developed by Hyde Park features sensing ranges from 50.8 mm up to 508 mm. This versatile, powerful proximity sensor mostly sells for under $100, a price breakthrough for superior ultrasonic technology. Virtue's dual-mount body style, with its M18 x 1 threaded snout 0.89 in L and a 1.49 in rectangular body for a total length of only 2.38 in and tough Valox® housing make it not only ideal for many OEM applications but also an unfailing performer for an array of packaging applications, including food and beverage. Available in cable or connector style, Virtu™ is the first sonic compact sensor to offer a dual mounting feature. It operates on 12 to 24 VDC and provides either a sinking (NPN) or a sourcing (PNP) output. Virtu™ also has teach-in window capability and no downtime is required for sensor recalibration when colors, materials or shapes change. With protection ratings of NEMA 4X (indoor use only) and IP67, this CE certified sensor is resistant to dust, 100% humidity, most acids and bases and high pressure wash-downs that often leave water buildup on the sensing face. This sleek sensor is virtually impervious to the effects of splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions and changing light conditions or colors. Shielding and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensor resistant to radiated or conducted energy.
