Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between shielded and non-shielded?

Non-shielded (this model): longer sensing distance, requires non-metallic mounting surface around sensor face. Shielded: can be mounted flush with metal, shorter sensing distance. Choose based on mounting constraints.

Can I use this sensor in wet environments?

Yes, IP67 rating provides dust-tight and temporary water immersion protection. Suitable for washdown areas, outdoor use (with proper enclosure), and wet industrial environments.

What metals can this sensor detect?

Detects all metals. Standard sensing distance is for mild steel. For other metals: stainless steel (70% of rated), brass (60%), aluminum (50%), copper (45%). Apply correction factors for actual sensing distance.

How do I wire this NPN sensor?

Brown wire to DC+, blue wire to DC-, black wire to load (PLC input). Load connects between black wire and DC+. Sensor switches DC- (sinking output).
