Description

UV Arc Detection Sensor with High EMI Immunity

ZYGGOT® Octagonal (OCTO) is the evolution of Varixx UV sensors for applications where installations are exposed to high levels of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Designed with an improved layout and architecture, OCTO incorporates advanced construction solutions to increase immunity to electric and electromagnetic fields, reducing sensitivity to interference in harsh environments.

At the same time, OCTO has been developed to maintain full compatibility with existing installations, enabling fast retrofit and standardization without any changes to the infrastructure: same mounting, same connector, and the same detection parameters (field of view, speed, and sensitivity).

Key features:

  • High EMI immunity for electromagnetically “contaminated” environments

  • Internal shielding and redesigned PCB/layout for increased robustness

  • Simple retrofit with no mechanical or special adaptations required

  • Optimized installation and commissioning (including auto-routing in large systems)

  • Lighter construction, with reduced steel content and use of FARADEX™

  • Improved cost competitiveness to support wider field standardization
