Prime Controls, Inc.
DESCRIPTION
The Model DS600 Double Sheet Detector control module and P80T30P probe comprise a
system designed to differentiate a wide range of material thicknesses for non-ferrous metals.
This system is especially suited for, but not limited to, the detection of single and double
thicknesses of aluminum and 300 series stainless steel (single/double sensing) and detection of
missing components (part present sensing).
The control module is housed in an IP65 rated, industrial grade polycarbonate enclosure that
can be mounted either inside a control panel or in the open. The P80T30P probe is in the form
of a 30mm threaded plastic barrel.
