Our products conform to NEMA tests as indicated, however, some severe washdown applications can exceed these NEMA test specifi cations. For questions about a specifi c application, contact our
Applications Department at (800) 426-9184.

The iProx sensor may be programmed to perform in “Side by Side” and high noise applications by using the ProxView Software (E59SW1) and a programming accessory (E59RP1).
For more information on these programming accessories, contact Eaton’s Sensor Applications Department at (800) 426-9184.

When mounting multiple iProx sensors in an area less than seven times its sensing range, it is recommended to set the noise immunity setting of the sensor to “Side by Side” mode. Refer to the ProxView
Software User Guide (P50228) for details.
