Novotechnik, the German sensor designer and manufacturer represented exclusively in the UK by Variohm EuroSensor, has recently announced that two of its non-contacting sensor models have gained E1 approval according to the UN/ECE R10 environmental compatibility category for interference emission and immunity. The approval, by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), permits the RSC-2800 and RSC-3200 sensors to be used throughout Europe on vehicles such as cars or buses, and also extends to mobile machinery such as agricultural machines, diggers or cranes that may run on roads reaching speeds or more than 25 km/h.
