ICL-6000

The ICL-6000 expands the ICL platform to six channels while keeping manual or automatic operation, selectable switching mode, analog output, alarm output, diagnostic test button, RS232 configuration, and primary/secondary functionality for contamination-heavy applications.

6 channelsUp to 35 m rangePNP outputs0 ... 10 V outputRS232Primary/Secondary

Key Features

  • Six-channel multiplexing with individual output channels.
  • Manual or automatic transmit-power operation.
  • Selectable light / dark switching behavior.
  • Short-circuit-proof PNP outputs and alarm output.
  • RS232 configuration with WinICL software.
  • Vehicle-wash-focused tuning and ambient-light resistance.

Best Fit Applications

  • Larger vehicle wash installations requiring six sensing channels.
  • Industrial systems that benefit from centralized open-frame multiplex control.
  • Installations needing analog monitoring and PC-based setup.
