Frequently Asked Questions

Are Pepperl+Fuchs sensors ATEX-certified?
Yes, Pepperl+Fuchs supplies an extensive range of sensors and instrument enclosures certified for ATEX zone 0, 1, and 2 (gas) and zones 20, 21, and 22 (dust). Consult the ATEX classification in the product specifications.
What is a Pepperl+Fuchs Zener barrier?
A Zener barrier is a passive safety device that limits the energy that can flow into a hazardous (ATEX) area. It protects field equipment in zone 0/1 by limiting current and voltage during electrical faults.
Which Pepperl+Fuchs sensor should I use for object detection in wet environments?
Inductive sensors with IP68 protection are suitable for submersion. Capacitive sensors detect liquid levels through non-metallic walls. Choose ultrasonic sensors for non-contact detection at greater distances.
What is FieldConnex from Pepperl+Fuchs?
FieldConnex is the Pepperl+Fuchs solution for Foundation Fieldbus (FF) and PROFIBUS PA fieldbus segment coupling. It provides isolated power and communication for field equipment in hazardous and safe zones.
What is the delivery time for Pepperl+Fuchs parts?
Common Pepperl+Fuchs sensors are typically available within 5-10 working days. ATEX-certified and special models may have a longer lead time; contact us for current availability.
