FAQ
Q1. What materials can this sensor detect?
Only metal objects (inductive principle).
Q2. What is the difference between DP and DN?
DP = PNP output, DN = NPN output.
DP is used when PLC input expects a sourcing signal.
Q3. Is this suitable for compact installations?
Yes. The M8 size is ideal for tight spaces.
Q4. Can it work in dusty or oily environments?
Yes. IP67 protection ensures reliable operation.
Q5. What is the sensing distance?
1.5 mm for standard iron target.
