Product Description
thread or 50 mm thread.
Bright LED ring utilizing a yel-
low LED clearly gives indica-
tion of output status. Protec-
tion rating IP 67 ensures envi-
ronmental compatibility.
AC proximity switches con-
structed in rugged thermo-
plastic polyester housings.
Sizes available are M12, M18
and M30. Length of housing
is selectable with 30 mm

Installation Hints
Relief of cable strain Protection of the sensing face Switch mounted on mobile carrierTo avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch pow-
er cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables Incorrect
Correct
The cable should not be pulled A proximity switch should not serve as
mechanical stop
Any repetitive flexing of the
cable should be avoided
