Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
No. CR-P, CR-U and CR-I models are analog versions. SR12-CO models are separate CANopen versions in 1500, 2500, 3500, 5000 and 8000 mm ranges.
The family documents IP67 and IP69K. For the connector version, the rating requires the connector to be mated. Keep that condition with the ingress-protection specification.
The analog and CANopen tables specify −40 to +85°C operation. This is the sensor ambient range, not a temperature measurement range.
The housing has 6.4 mm through-bores and mounting nuts for M6. A clip attaches the wire to the moving part. Check the model drawing.
No. The digital table describes CANopen and lists SAE J1939 on request. Specify the protocol in the order configuration rather than treating all CAN protocols as one item.
