Sencon’s 11-487-00 Short Can Sensor can be used to replace the following sensors: 9-287-03, 11-287-63, 11-287-33,
11-287-53, 9H-387-56, 11-387-S1.
The 11-487-00 is a direct replacement for some of the sensors above while others will require a wiring change in the
bodymaker.

The SENCON 11-487-00 is a self-contained metal
discriminator proximity switch; an excellent choice for
can line machine control. The sensor detects wall-ironed
aluminum over carbide tooling and is designed to act as
“short can” detector to protect the tooling in wall ironing
machines.

discrete logic or computer controlled systems and

The trigger level, trigger delay and trigger slope are used to give a stable image on the graph.
They work in the way the same way as the controls on an oscilloscope.
The trigger level determins the signal level

The trigger slope determines whether the graph

There are three modes:
• Append - free running trace. This shows the live signal from the sensor
• Overwrite - The trace starts at a predetermined trigger point. Only one trace
will be displayed.
