Selection criteria
Confirm 8 mm nominal/6.48 mm assured distance with the actual metal target. Apply material reduction factors for stainless steel, aluminum, copper or brass targets. Confirm PNP NO logic and 10–30 VDC supply. Respect flush-mounting dimensions and maximum tightening torque.
Installation, commissioning and maintenance
Mount flush according to the official dimension/free-zone data and do not exceed 40 Nm tightening torque. Use a properly sealed M12 connector and route signal cable away from high-noise power wiring. Test the actual target material throughout mechanical tolerances and temperature range. Verify PLC input logic, switching repeatability and safe mechanical clearance. Inspect sensing face, M18 mounting position and M12 connector; clean metal buildup or contamination that can alter switching.
