FAQs

What types of materials can this sensor detect?

This is an inductive proximity sensor, meaning it is designed specifically to detect metallic objects. It is not suitable for detecting non-metallic materials like plastic, wood, or liquids.

Can this sensor be used in wet or dusty environments?

Yes, the sensor has IP65, IP67, and IP69K ratings, which provide excellent protection against dust and water ingress, including high-pressure washdowns.

What is the maximum sensing distance?

The maximum sensing distance (Sn) for this sensor is 40 mm for metallic targets.

What is the operating voltage range?

The sensor operates with a wide supply voltage range of 20 to 264 V AC or DC.

Is this sensor suitable for safety-critical applications?

No, this inductive proximity sensor is not designed or certified for safety functions. It should only be used for standard detection and control tasks.

How is the cable connected?

The sensor features a terminal type connection using an M20 gland for secure and environmentally sealed cable entry.

What is the switching current limit?

The sensor has a switching current of either 200 mA or 300 mA, depending on the specific configuration or load.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not detecting target.

Verify the target is metallic. Check the distance between the sensor and the target; ensure it's within the 40mm range. Confirm the sensor is correctly wired and powered within the specified voltage range.

Sensor output is always ON or always OFF.

Check wiring connections for faults or short circuits. Ensure the supply voltage is stable and within the 20-264V range. Test the sensor with a known good target at the appropriate distance.

Sensor fails after exposure to water/washdown.

Inspect the M20 cable gland for secure closure. Ensure the housing is not cracked or damaged. If damage is suspected, replace the sensor.

Intermittent detection.

Ensure the target is consistently metallic and clean. Check for vibrations that might be causing the target to move out of range. Verify power supply stability.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High Ingress Protection (IP67, IP69K) for harsh environments.
  • Wide operating voltage range (20-264V AC/DC) offers flexibility.
  • Generous 40mm sensing distance for various applications.
  • Durable PBT plastic housing withstands industrial conditions.
  • Simple 2-wire output for straightforward integration.

Cons

  • Not suitable for safety functions.
  • Terminal type (M20 Gland) might require specific cable fittings.
  • Maximum switching current of 300 mA might be limiting for some high-power applications.
  • Requires metallic targets for detection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Mounting: Securely mount the sensor in the desired non-flush position, ensuring the sensing face is oriented towards the target.
  2. Wiring: Connect the 2-wire output to your control system using the M20 gland for cable entry. Ensure proper termination according to the control system's requirements.
  3. Power: Connect the sensor to a power supply within the 20 → 264 V ac/dc range. Verify correct polarity if using a DC supply.

Compatibility:

  • Target: Designed for detecting metallic objects. Performance may vary with different metal types.
  • Voltage: Compatible with AC or DC power supplies from 20 to 264 Volts.
  • Control Systems: The 2-wire output is typically compatible with PLC inputs or other control interfaces that can handle the sensor's switching current (200 mA or 300 mA).

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the sensing face and housing with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the plastic housing or sensing surface.
  • Environment: While highly rated, avoid continuous exposure to extreme temperatures beyond the operating range (-25°C to +70°C) or environments with aggressive chemicals not compatible with PBT plastic.
  • Cable Gland: Ensure the M20 gland is securely tightened to maintain its IP rating.
