Inductive proximity sensor DCAL12/4309B

cylindricalM18M12

Diameters 12 - 18 mm • Analog with linear current output • Connector output M12 x 1 • General Features: These inductive proximity sensors provide an output current directly or reversely proportional to the distance between the sensing face and the metal target. The output current is also dependent by the material of the target, so they can be used not only to detect distances, displacements, vibrations and wavings but also to recognize the composition of metals and alloys. In the two wires configuration, they are reversal polarity and short circuit protected devices compliant to the 4-20 mA industrial standard. It is recommended the use of connectors without LED. For applications subjected to high levels of electromagnetic interferences, it is recommended the use of the straight connector with shielded cable type C10/00VS which offers a 360° shielding. Use of the sensor: The output current flows through the external load RL generating a voltage (Vo) used to drive the input stage of the measuring instrument. The correct value of RL can be chosed accordingly to the values of power supply Vdc and the wanted Vout range as reported on the tables.
