GO™ Switch Model 7LY Dual Proximity Sensor Q & A

+How does the GO™ Switch Model 7LY Dual LED Proximity Sensor function?
The Model 7LY operates as a magnetically actuated proximity sensor that detects the presence of a ferrous metal target or magnetic field. When the target enters the sensing range, the internal contacts switch state, providing position feedback or indication. It supports SPDT switching and can be configured for multiple output logic types.
 
+What is the purpose of the dual LED feature on the 7LY model?
The dual LED domes provide a clear visual indication of switch status from long distances. This helps operators quickly identify position or actuation state during operation, troubleshooting, or maintenance without needing additional diagnostic tools.
+What wiring and output configurations are supported?

The 7LY supports:

  • NPN or PNP circuits
  • Normally Open (Form A)
  • Normally Closed (Form B)
  • Changeover NO/NC (Form C)
  • SPDT contact configuration

This flexibility allows integration into various industrial control systems.

 
+What environments and conditions is the 7LY designed for?

The sensor is built for harsh industrial environments, featuring:

  • 316L stainless steel enclosure
  • Stainless steel sensing face
  • IP66 / IP68 ingress protection
  • Vibration resistance
  • Operating temperature: –40 °C to 60 °C
  • Pressure rating up to 140 bar (2000 psi)
  • Hazardous location certifications (Class I, II, III Div. 2)
+What are typical applications of the GO™ Switch Model 7LY?

Common uses include:

  • Manual valve position indication
  • Linear valve monitoring
  • Rack-and-pinion actuators
  • Gate position sensing
  • Restricted access door/panel indication
