Canfield Connector 7HL10-000-001 Proximity Sensor

The Canfield Connector 7HL10-000-001 Hazardous Location Magnetic Proximity Sensor is a clamp-on proximity switch designed to sense actuator position on NFPA tie-rod cylinders with bores from 2 to 8 inches. Its rugged epoxy-encapsulated PCB sits inside an anodized 6061-T6 aluminum body, delivering reliable vibration and shock resistance in harsh environments. This SPST normally open reed switch is rated up to 0.5 A, with fast response times (on about 0.5 ms, off about 0.1 ms) and a surface sensitivity of roughly 85 Gauss in parallel orientation, making position signaling quick and dependable. The 7HL10-000-001 is CSA approved for Class I, Division 2 (Groups A–D); Class II Division 2 (F–G); and Class III locations, aligning with stringent industrial safety standards. A 9‑foot standard PVC jacketed cable (18 AWG, SJTOW) extends the connection, supporting flexible integration in confined installations. Operating temperature ranges from -20°C to +80°C, and the sensor is designed for NEMA 1, 4, and 13 enclosures, reinforcing suitability for equipment subjected to dust, water, or condensation risks. This model embodies Canfield’s 7HL hazardous-location proximity line, combining clamp-on convenience with rugged magnetic sensing to reliably indicate cylinder position in demanding applications.
