Technical FAQs

1. What is the core function of this sensor?
   It measures the proximity or position of conductive metal targets within a 16 mm range using eddy current sensing.

2. Is the sensor contact or non‑contact?
   Non‑contact — ideal for long‑life, wear‑free operation.

3. What output format does it provide?
   A proportional analog signal (either voltage or current) that reflects target displacement.

4. What supply voltage does the sensor require?
   Typically operates on a DC supply within 10 – 30 V DC (confirm with documentation).

5. Can it detect dynamic motion?
   Yes — its frequency response supports moving targets and real‑time feedback.

6. What materials can it detect?
   It detects conductive metal targets; linearity and sensitivity can vary with material type.

7. Is it suitable for harsh industrial environments?
   Yes — rugged housing and environmental sealing support factory conditions.

8. How is it mounted?
   Standard threaded or flange mounting secures the sensor in machinery or assemblies.

9. Can it interface with PLC systems?
   Yes — analog outputs can connect directly to PLC analog input modules.

10. Is external signal conditioning required?
    In many cases, the sensor’s native output integrates directly with controllers; additional conditioning can be added for specific system needs.
