Technical Frequently Asked Questions

What can be connected to the RFC-4800 analog angle sensor?

It can be connected to Novotechnik M12 connectors and cables and Novotechnik rotary sensor positioners (magnets).

How do I order the RFC-4800 analog angle sensor?

The order code has 7 fields: mechanical version, channels, range, Ub, signal, feature, and connection. For example, RFC-4851-636-111-202 is the version with an elongated hole and diagnostics, 1 channel, 0° to 360°, Ub = 24 VDC, 0.1 … 10 V increasing clockwise, and a 1 m shielded 4-pole cable. All the options for each field are available in the order code configurator on this page.

Under what conditions does the RFC-4800 analog angle sensor operate?

Protection: IP67 / IP68 / IP69; IP67 (M12 connector).
