Telemecanique Sensors Inductive Block-Style Proximity Sensor, 2 mm Detection, PNP Output, 12 → 48 V, IP67

The Schneider Electric XS series inductive proximity sensor is solely for the detection of metal objects. It basically comprises an oscillator whose windings constitute the sensing face. An alternating magnetic field is generated in front of these windings. When a metal object is placed within the magnetic field generated by the sensor, the resulting currents induced form an additional load and the oscillations cease. This causes the output driver to operate and, depending on the sensor type, a normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) output signal is produced.Body type Fixed Enclosure material Plastic Type of output signal Discrete Wiring technique 4-wire [Sn] nominal sensing distance 2 mm Discrete output function 1 NO or 1 NC programmable Discrete output type PNP Electrical connection Cable Cable length 2 m Wire insulation material PVC [Us] rated supply voltage 12..48 V DC Switching capacity in mA <= 200 mA with overload and short-circuit protection
