1.9 - Connections:

2- Inductive Proximity Sensor:The inductive proximity sensors are electronic equipment able to detect the approaching of pieces, components, machine elements, etc,replacing the traditional mechanical sensorThis detection happens without physical contact between the target and the sensor, increasing the sensor useful life, because there are notmobile pieces subjected to mechanical stress.

2.1 - Working Principle: The working principle is based on high frequency electromagnetic fieldgeneration, which is developed by a coil mounted on the sensor face.This coil is wound on a ferrite core which concentrates the sensing field in the direction through the activate face of the proximity sensor.When a metallic object (ferrous or non-ferrous) comes to the radiatedfield, it absorbs the energy from the field through surface current(Foucault), decreasing the generated signal in the oscillator. Thisoscillator signal changed is converted into a continuous variation, which compared to a pattern value, starts to act in the output stage.

2.2- Sensing Face:That is the surface where the eletromagnetic field emerges.

2.3- Sensing DistanceThat is the distance within the target approaching to active face, thesensor changes their output.

2.4 - Nominal Sensing Distance ( Rated Sn ):This is the theoretical sensing distance, which uses a standard testplate as a target and does not consider the variations caused byindustrialization, ambient temperature and supply voltage. That is thevalue in which the proximity sensor is specified.As it uses the metallic standard test plate, the nominal sensing distance also informs the longest distance in which the sensor can operate.

L=D (3xSn<D) or

L=3xSn (3xSn>D)

D=area's diameter where themagnetic field emerges.

Sn- nominal sensing distance

2.5- Assured Distance Sensing:It is the sensing distance that certainly can operate considering allvariations of industrialization, temperature and supply voltage:

Sa ≤ 81% * Sn

2.6 - Standard Test Plate:It is a standard activator used to calibrate the nominal sensing distanceduring the sensor manufacture process.

2.7 - Target Material:The sensing distance is specified with mild steel and varies for othermaterials. In an application with other targetmaterials the sensing distance will beaffected and required a reductionfactor, as showed at the example tableside.

2.8 - Hysteresis :It is the difference between theactivation point (when the targetapproaches to the sensing face) and the deactivation point (when thetarget stays away from the sensor). This difference assures that theoutput will remain constant if there is a slight vibration or moviment of

3 - Three or Four Wires DC Models (E, A):The DC proximity sensors are powered by a DC supply and it has aoutput transistor with a function to switch (on/off) the load connected tothe sensor. There are still two types of output transistor: one to switch the positive terminal of the power supply, knowledge as PNP type andother to switch the negative terminal, the NPN type.

3.1- Switching Current:This is one of the most important features of the sensors, because itestablishes the compatible load. It is defined as the most current whichcan be switched by the output transistor without damaging it.

3.2- Supply Voltage :Take care to do not exceed the sensor supply voltage or connected iton AC line. The proximity sensors usually get a range for the supplyvoltage, for instance 10 to 30Vdc, where it can operate in any voltagewithout significant changes.

3.3 - Protection:The DC sensors have output protected against short-circuits, reversepolarity and overload. This protection turns off the output transistorwhen the load current is above of the maximum value permitted.However this protection circuit can not protect against electrical noise or voltage spikes.

3.4 - Volatge Drop:It is the voltage drop between the collector / emitter of the outputtransistor when it is closed (saturated) and this value is less than 2 V.

Caution: When using NPN sensor switching TTL logic level (5V),please verify if the sensor has a voltage drop is under 0.5V, as thisvoltage could be understood as a level "1" permanently by the TTLcircuit.

3.5 - Output Collector Resistance:The inductive sensors are supplied with a resistance on the outputtransistor collector, that it is used to decrease the circuit impedancewhen the output transistor is open. It must not be used to power theload.

4- Two Wires DC Models: In this version, the output stage has only two terminals that must beconnected in series with the load. When the load is not powered, a littleresidual current flows in it and when the loads is powered, a littlevoltage drop appears.

4.1- Residual Voltage Drop: When the sensor is activated, a voltage drop of 5V will be reduce by the sensor output from the load and must be considered for powering lowloads, mainly in electronic circuits and programmable controllers. (EG:with a supplying of 24Vdc, the sensor supplies just 19V to the load,what is must be sufficient for load activation).

4.2- Residual Current:It is the current that runs in the load when the sensor is not activated,with a nearly value of 2,4mA, required for the sensor supplying. It isnecessary to observe that high impedance loads, such as controllers,do not be activated due to the residual current.

4.3- Minimum Load:The two-wire sensor requires a least current, nearly 5mA, to keep thesensor fed while the load is being powered. It is necessary to take carewith load consumption current, mainly the logical controllers, in order toget the devices compatibility.

4.4- Programmable Output:The Sense’s two-wire sensors, N45 models, have a reversible outputstage from NO to NC, only with a wire polarity change, it means.

5- Power Supply:The power supply for continuous current sensors is very important,because both the working stability and useful life of the sensors depend on it. A good power supply must have filter to decrease the effect ofelectrical noise generated by loads, which can even damage theproximity sensors and other electronic equipment connected to thesource.

5.1- Complete Wave Rectified Power Supply:This power supply is not suitable because the ripple is very high(>10%)and there are close points at t1and t2, where there is no voltage, besides the peak voltage ismuch higher than the averagevalue.

5.2- Filtered Power Supply:This source can be useddepending on the ripple, whichmust be calculated with all loads connected to the source.Typically for loads under300mA.5.3- Three Phase Power Supply:This source usually has ≤5% ofripple without using anycapacitor of filter and It can bealso applied with sensors, oncethere are not many inductiveloads generating noises.5.4- Regulated Power Supply: This power supply is one ofmost appropriate for beingapplied with Inductive sensors,because the output voltagekeeps its own constancyindependently of electrical fedvariations.5.5- Switching Power Supply:A Switching Power Supply usually have the output protected againstshort-circuits, overload, overvoltage and the output completely stabilized independently of electrical fed variations. Some of them have specialfeatures to fed peak loads like: motors and solenoids.This source is desirable for use with proximity sensors and otherelectronic equipment since it will provide a reliable power source for thedevices connected to it.

5.6- Ripple:Ripple is the AC voltage over imposedon the DC voltage and must be lessthan 10% (peak to peak over thearithmetic average of DC) in order tokeep the stability for the proximitysensor circuits.

5.7- Line Noise:The power line that serves proximity sensors and noise generatorelements such as: solenoid valves, electromagnets, motors, etc., willhave electrical peaks called noise that can introduce wrong commands,erroneous signals or even damage the sensors.

5.8- Example With a Programmable Controller:The regulated power supply number 1 is low power, only for feeding the PLC input I/O board. The common rectified power supply number 2 isused to feed all the inductive loads and more powerful devicesconnected to the PLC output I/O card.

6- General Precautions:

6.1-Connecting Cable:Avoid the sensor cable to be submittedto any kind of mechanical effort. Thiscan cause damage to the cable andpremature failure of the sensor.

6.2- Vibration:As the sensor are encapsulated withresin it is possible to use them in mobilemachines and equipment, but it isrequired to attach the cable to thesensor, using bracket or screwedsupport, allowing that only the middle ofthe cable vibrates, avoiding, this way,that the cable breaks.

6.3- Mounting Bracket:Avoid the sensor suffering impacts withother parts or pieces and do not use it as a support, and if an impact can happenmake a special mounting bracket thatproceed the sensor.

6.4- Mobile Parts:When setting up, please be carefullywith the sensing distance of the sensorand its position, avoiding thus, impactswith the activator.

6.5- Maximum Torque:Do not exeed the recommendedtightening torque when mounting thesensor.

6.6- Chemical Resistance:In hazardous area installation, take careto check if the handled material canreact in contact with the sensors, and ifnecessary keep in touch with us in orderto get specified the most suitable sensor to your application.

6.7- Environment Conditions:Avoid submitting the sensor toatmosphere with ambient temperatureover the sensor limits.

6.8- High Current Loads:Using the sensor to activate inductive high loads, can damage permanently the output stage of the short-circuitnon-protected sensors, besidesgenerating high voltage peaks in thepower line making the sensor lifeshorter. The inductive loads, such ascontractors, relays, solenoids, etc,must be checked before, becauseeither the switching current or theinrush current can damage thesensor.

6.9- Cabling:According to the technical standardrecommendations, it is required toavoid the proximity sensors cables andmeasurement and control instrumentsin general to use the same line orconduit as the power circuit.Note: In spite of the filters to avoid the

electrical noises in our sensors, in case the

cables or the power supply use the same way

or wire conduct of power cables from big inductive loads as engines, electrical brakes,

solenoids, contractor, etc, the induced voltages can have enough energy to damage

the sensors.
