What type of sensor is this?

This is an inductive proximity sensor designed to detect metallic targets without physical contact. It is suitable for position sensing, presence detection and machine automation applications where a compact threaded sensor body is required.

What is the sensing distance?

The rated operating distance is 2 mm. The assured operating distance is 0 to 1.62 mm, depending on the target material, mounting conditions and application setup.

Can it be mounted flush?

Yes. This sensor is designed for flush installation, allowing the sensing face to sit level with a metal mounting surface when installed correctly.

What output configuration does it use?

It uses a PNP output with a complementary switching function. This means it provides both normally open and normally closed style output behaviour through the connector pin arrangement.

What operating voltage is required?

The sensor operates from a 10 to 30 V DC supply, making it compatible with many common industrial control systems.

What is the maximum operating current?

The operating current range is 0 to 200 mA. The voltage drop is rated at no more than 2 V during operation.

What connection does the sensor use?

It uses an M12 x 1, 4-pin connector. Compatible female cordsets include straight and angled M12 4-pin PUR cable options.

What do the wire colours represent?

The wire colours follow EN 60947-5-2 conventions: brown for pin 1, white for pin 2, blue for pin 3 and black for pin 4.

What environmental protection rating does it have?

The sensor has an IP67 degree of protection, meaning it is protected against dust ingress and temporary immersion conditions when properly connected.

What temperature range can it operate in?

The specified ambient operating temperature range is -25 °C to +70 °C, equivalent to -13 °F to +158 °F.

What materials are used in its construction?

The housing is made from nickel-plated brass, while the sensing face is made from PBT. This provides a robust construction for industrial environments.

Does it include a switching indicator?

Yes. The sensor includes a yellow LED switching state indicator, which helps show the output status during operation.

What switching frequency does it offer?

The switching frequency is rated up to 1000 Hz, allowing it to detect fast-moving metallic targets in suitable applications.

How does target material affect sensing distance?

Different metals reduce the effective sensing distance. The reduction factor is 0.25 for aluminium, 0.15 for copper and 0.66 for 304 stainless steel, compared with the rated sensing distance.

What mounting accessories are compatible?

Compatible mounting accessories include a 12 mm mounting flange and a quick mounting bracket with dead stop. These can help position the sensor securely in an application.
