📌 Cross-reference within EVT hygienic series

EVT001: 5 m, otherwise identical to EVT002

EVT002: 10 m, straight female socket (current model)

EVT004: 5 m, angled female socket

EVT005: 10 m, angled female socket

Series distinction: EVC series = standard black PUR cable; EVT = food-grade orange PVC with EPDM seals & 316L nuts, optimized for washdown stations.

🧩 Typical Applications

Wiring for inductive sensors, photoelectric sensors, pressure/temperature transmitters and IO-Link sensors on food, beverage, dairy and pharmaceutical production lines; suitable for CIP/SIP cleaning, wet environments and moving drag chain installations.

⚙️ Installation & Maintenance Guidelines

1. Do not exceed the specified torque; over-tightening will crush the EPDM O-ring.
2. IP69K protection relies on intact sealing; replace the cable immediately if the O-ring is damaged or the housing is cracked.
3. PVC jacket is not suitable for long-term exposure to strong solvents or high-concentration alkaline cleaners. For chemically aggressive media, select EVM series with PUR jacket and FKM seals.
4. Minimum bend radius for drag chain use ≥ 10×cable outer diameter; cycle life 1 million cycles, allowable torsion ±180°/m.

📎 Alternative Selection

Original IFM direct replacement: No direct equivalent; change length by choosing EVT001 / EVT005.

Main Application Fields of IFM EVT002

EVT002 is a hygienic M12 sensor cable with IP69K high-pressure washdown rating, silicone-free construction, 316L stainless steel lock nut and EPDM sealing. It is primarily designed for wet cleaning stations in the food industry:

1. Food & Beverage (Primary Application)

Dairy, meat processing, bakery, snack food, brewery and beverage production lines; CIP online cleaning, spray zones, conveyors, filling machines, packaging equipment and sterilization systems. Used for wiring proximity sensors, photoelectric sensors, IO-Link devices, flow and pressure transmitters. Silicone-free construction prevents silicone contamination affecting subsequent painting and sealing processes.

2. Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics

Wet clean zones for API production, formulation and cosmetic manufacturing; sensor signal wiring under moderate washdown conditions (not for continuous exposure to strong corrosive solvents).

3. Grain & Feed Processing

Conveying, batching and packaging sections for grain and feed; sensor wiring on conveyors and elevators subject to dust and periodic water washing.

4. Other Wet-Area Automation Scenarios

Small-scale slaughterhouses and seafood processing machinery; also used for drag chain cabling in general automation with high protection and humid conditions (not recommended for continuous immersion in strong acid/alkali).

Compatible Devices

M12 A-coded 4-pin sensors: proximity switches, photoelectric sensors, pressure, temperature, flow and IO-Link signal sensors.

Selection Boundary Reminders

The orange PVC jacket cannot withstand prolonged exposure to strong chemicals or high-alkaline cleaning agents. For chemically aggressive environments, select EVM series with PUR jacket and FKM seals.

Fully rated for drag chain movement, ideal for moving cabling on conveyors and reciprocating machinery.
