The Avtron SV5 SAFETach™ sensor is the first safety rated magnetoresistive sensor for SIL 2 applications. Often, optical encoders fail because of dust or water contamination that prevents the sensor from seeing the optical disk. The SV5 advanced magnetic technology sees through contamination and the fully sealed circuit design ensures your machine keeps working, even in mill environments. The SV5 offers magnetic performance and moisture resistance!

Avtron SV5 SAFETach III™ sensors are magnetoresistive, safety rated incremental quadrature sensors for the SV850 rotary encoder. The SV5 is also usable in applications where an encoder housing is not needed – simply mount the SV5 with your bracket, and use an SV850 rotor. All SV5 electronics are fully encapsulated. There are no moving wearing parts.

Miswiring an encoder is common– and it shouldn’t cost you time or money. Wiring errors and short circuits that cause an over-temp situation will be detected and indicated by changing the LED to orange. The SV5 has full output short circuit and reverse voltage protection, plus surge protection. SV5 SAFETach III sensors digitally self-tune the outputs to eliminate drive trips caused by poor encoder signals. The universal 5-24V design drives longer cables and is protected against wiring errors and surges.

Adaptive Electronics: At power-up you know you installed it right! The green LED tells you your SV5 Sensor is aligned with the rotor and reading signal. If at any time, the SV5 cannot produce consistent signals, the LED changes to red and the optional remote alarm contact activates. However, the encoder keeps working to give you time to schedule service.

What good is a competitors "safety" encoder if it's optical and fails? Pick the SV5 sensor for safety and reliability!
