Working Principle

Description

The Orange 4mm PNP Inductive Proximity Sensor RM12 DC6~36V (Unshielded) detects metal objects when they come into its operating range. It operates by generating an electromagnetic field and sensing changes in this field caused by the presence of a metal object.

Sensor Types

Inductive

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Excessive Force: Do not apply excessive mechanical force to the sensor to prevent damage.,
  • Prevent Exposure To Extreme Conditions: Avoid exposing the sensor to temperatures outside the -30 to 80°C range to maintain its integrity and functionality.,
  • Ignore Polarity: Do not reverse the polarity of the connections as it may lead to sensor damage despite the built-in protection.

Dos

  • Ensure Proper Voltage: Make sure the sensor is connected to a power supply within the specified range of 6 to 36 VDC to ensure proper operation.,
  • Check Installation Type: Install the sensor as a non-flush (unshielded) type to allow the electromagnetic field to radiate properly.,
  • Observe Detection Distance: Maintain a detection distance of up to 4mm from the target object for optimal performance.
