Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What are the enclosure ratings for the APL series limit switch boxes?
The APL-2N and APL-3N models feature a standard IP67 weatherproof enclosure. The APL-4N offers IP67 Eexd II BT6 explosion proof protection, while the APL-5N provides IP67 Eexd II CT6 explosion proof protection.
What is the operating temperature range for these limit switch boxes?
All models in the APL series are designed to operate reliably within a temperature range of 25°C to 85°C.
What materials are used in the construction of the APL limit switch box?
The housing cover and body are made of durable die-cast aluminium. Key internal components like the shaft, spring, cover bolts, E-ring, and earth lug are made of stainless steel, while the bracket is constructed from powder-coated carbon steel.
Can I get proximity sensors instead of standard mechanical switches?
Yes, while mechanical switches are standard, proximity sensors are available as an option across the entire APL series.
How does the visual position indicator display valve status?
The position indicator provides clear visual confirmation using color codes: Red indicates "Closed" and Yellow indicates "Open". It supports indication angles of 0°~90° and 0°~180°.
