VIRTU DUAL-MOUNT AND BARREL BODY STYLE
ULTRASONIC PROXIMITY SENSORS

Markham, Ontario-August 10, 2004- The Virtu™ and Virtu18™ provide low-cost, high performance, innovative, ultrasonic sensing solutions for industry. Virtu features a dual-mount option and sensing ranges from 50 mm (2”) up to 510 mm, (20”). Virtu18 provides customers with the same technology available in Virtu but in an 18 mm barrel body style. Both products are available for under $150 CDN, a price breakthrough for superior ultrasonic technology.

The small size and tough housing of Virtu and Virtu18 make them ideal for many OEM and packaging applications, including food and beverage. A teach-in window capability eliminates downtime often required for sensor recalibration when colors, materials or shapes change.

With UL enclosure ratings of NEMA 4X and IP67, these CE certified sensors are resistant to dust, 100 percent humidity, most acids and bases and high-pressure washdowns that often leave water buildup on the sensing face. Virtu sensors are virtually impervious to the effects of splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions or changing light conditions. Shielding and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensor immune to radiated or conducted energy.

Hyde Park is a leading supplier of sensing and control solutions to help manufacturers improve their automated processes, products and profits. Hyde Park products are represented and sold in Canada by Chartwell Automation Inc., 140 Duffield Dr., Markham, Ontario. L6G 1B5.
