  JC Series Programmable Magnetic Proximity Switch
  PHD's Series JC1 Teachable Switches feature two programmable outputs. Simply mount in a convenient location, such as the middle of travel, place the actuator in the first desired position and set the first output. Then place the actuator in the second desired position and set the second output. Outputs retain settings even after power interruption. Since each switch provides two outputs, an actuator with only two slots may have up to four outputs by using two switches. Offered in 12 – 30 VDC current sourcing (PNP) version only. Available in cabled (2 meter) or quick connect versions.
