1)
Cleaning agents tested: P3-topactive DES, P3-topax 19, P3-topax 56, P3-topax 66, and P3-topax 99. All other cleaning agents must be tested before use to assess
resistance to chemicals.
2)
Cleaning agents tested: P3-topax 52, P3-topax 66, P3-topax 91, P3-topactive 200, and P3-topactive DES. All other cleaning agents must be tested before use to
assess resistance to chemicals.
The challenge
As the connectors are used in cold stores and washdown
zones, they must be highly resistant to chemical, thermal, and
mechanical contamination. Complying with hygiene require-
ments is the highest priority. Using a suitable mounting tool
ensures a water tight connection between the sensor and
cable - page 40.
Essential features
The connectors for this area feature � IP enclosure ratings
IP69K for protection from the eects of high pressure cleaning
and steam cleaning. The Ecolab certication also indicates
that the cables for this zone are particularly resistant to ag-
gressive acidic and alkaline cleaning agents. In addition, these
cables have coupling nuts made of stainless steel (V4A).
The SICK solution
� PVC cables
• Absolute impermeability provided by dual-action (axial and
radial) prole seal.
• The special prole seal on these connecting cables pro-
vides even better impermeability than a classic O-ring seal.
• Good shock and vibration resistance up to 50 g with the
dual action interlock.
• Integrated xed stop prevents the plug connector from
being screwed too tight
� PP cables
• Consistent use of FDA approved materials
• Hygienic design based on EHEDG recommendations. De-
signed with very smooth surfaces and no gaps to prevent
dirt getting trapped.
• Very high temperature resistance: –40 °C ... +105 °C
• Suitable for drag chains
• Resistant to lactic acid, � microbes and hydrolysis
