Page 20: Service/Process Limit Positions
• The desired process parameters can be measured. When using versions of the SensoGate WA131M with electronic limit signal, a contact is closed when a limit position is reached at the limit switch. An electrical signal, e.g., at the control center, can be dis- played when the limit position is reached. - Page 21 SensoGate WA131M Limit Switch Note: The limit switch is only available on versions of the SensoGate WA131M with electronic limit sig- nal. Product Code, p. 12 ➜ 30 Ω 30 Ω The limit switch (1) is a “simple apparatus” as defined in EN 60079-11 for use in explosive atmospheres up to Zone 0.
