Key specifications

• Detection principle: Inductive, electromagnetic field sensing
• Target type: Ferrous and non-ferrous metal objects
• Operating mode: Non-contact proximity/position detection
• Typical applications: Automation, assembly lines, machine safety
• Switching characteristic: Wear-free solid-state switching

How to use

Mount the sensor so its sensing face is aligned with the expected metal target path, maintaining the manufacturer-recommended sensing distance for reliable detection. Connect the sensor to the control system or PLC using the appropriate wiring and observe correct polarity and supply voltage requirements. Adjust mechanical alignment of targets or fixtures to ensure consistent activation within the sensor's detection range. Verify detection and switching behavior during commissioning and perform routine checks as part of preventive maintenance.

Usage recommendations

Ensure correct mounting orientation and maintain the recommended air gap between the sensing face and metal targets to preserve detection accuracy. Use shielded wiring where necessary to reduce electromagnetic interference, and follow your control system's input protection guidelines. For safety-critical installations, implement and test redundant detection or safety-rated circuits according to applicable standards.
