mounting hardware
•
QMH26: Hygienic shape for superior cleaning performance
•
Made from FDA compliant materials for worry-free use in food and pharmaceutical applications
•
Chemically resistant, non-toxic 316L stainless steel housing
•
Acrylic optical window with coating for resistance to hydrogen peroxide and alcohol
•
IP69K rated for use in harsh 1500 psi washdown environments at 80° C (176° F)
•
Withstands environmental temperature cycling from –30° to +60° C (–22° to +140° F)
•
Sealed housing and smooth joints minimize cleaning time and reduce bacterial accumulation
•
Sensor marking is chemically etched into the housing for long-lasting identification and to
eliminate food contamination
•
Push buttons and light pipes are over-molded to reduce crevices and provide excellent cleaning
and sealing results
