This product is not a safety sensor and should not be used for personnel protection.
Installation and operation must be done by qualified personnel only.
Always follow the intended use guidelines and reference full documentation
Complete dimension drawings, electrical wiring diagrams, and part numbering are available in the original datasheet.
Active sensing area and LED display are clearly marked in the visual layout.
Use this checklist to systematically diagnose and resolve issues with the sensor:
β Check if 10β30V DC power supply is correctly connected to brown (V+) and blue (GND) wires.
β Ensure no open circuit exists in the power supply line.
β Verify that wire cross-section (0.35 mmΒ²) matches connection standards.
β Inspect the cable for cuts, wear, or corrosion.
β Confirm all wiring terminals are tight and secure.
β Make sure the black wire (OUT) is correctly routed to the input module.
β If output is not received, measure voltage between black and blue wires.
β Verify the transistor output load current does not exceed 200 mA.
β Check if the output is pulled high when inactive (NPN logic).
β Confirm external load device is functioning (PLC input, relay, etc.).
β Ensure target material is ferromagnetic (Fe360 recommended).
β Confirm that sensing range does not exceed 4 mm.
β Check for presence of non-metallic or shielded targets blocking detection.
β Make sure the object is aligned correctly with the sensing face.
β Remove dust, oil, or moisture buildup from sensing surface.
β Confirm operating temperature is within -25Β°C to +70Β°C.
β Ensure sensor isnβt exposed to excessive vibration or impact.
β Make sure the sensor housing is not overheating.
β Keep sensor away from high-frequency electromagnetic interference (EMI).
β Verify protection against water ingress (IP67 β but not submersible).
β LED must glow yellow when the object is detected.
β No LED = Power loss or output failure.
β Blinking or dim LED = Unstable power or damaged circuit.
β Replace sensor if LED is non-functional despite correct wiring.
β Ensure sensor is properly threaded and securely mounted (M12 thread).
β Do not over-tighten the sensor, as it may damage the housing.
β Confirm minimum 3Sn clearance from metal objects around the sensor.
β Check for proper embedded mounting and no overhanging targets.
β Replace sensor and re-test to rule out hardware failure.
β Use an oscilloscope or multimeter to verify switching behavior and response timing (up to 3000 Hz).
