1 General information
NOTE
Provides helpful operating instructions or other general recommendations.
ATTENTION!
Indicates a possibly hazardous situation. If it is not avoided, minor or slight injuries
can occur or the device can be damaged.
Read these operating instructions carefully and follow the safety instructions!
1.1 Applicability
This document is applicable for all Baumer inductive distance measuring sensors (or analog inductive
sensors) with a teach-in:
IR08.DxxL
IR12.DxxL
IR18.DxxL
1.2 Concerning the contents of this document
This manual contains information about the installation and commissioning of Baumer analog inductive
sensors. It is a supplement to the mounting instructions supplied with each sensor.
1.3 Intended use
The Baumer analog inductive sensors are able to detect the position of a metallic object which is within the
measuring range of the sensor.
It was especially developed for easy handling, flexible use, and precise measurement.

2 Connection
ATTENTION!
The IP protection class is valid only if all connections are connected as
described in the technical documentation.
ATTENTION!
Connection, installation and commissioning may only be performed by qualified
personnel.
ATTENTION!
Incorrect supply voltage might destroy the device!
NOTE
How to connect outputs if they are not needed in an application:
teach output: connect to GND (0V)
digital output: do not connect
analog output: do not connect
2.1 Connection cable
The sensors do not require a shielded cable in standard conditions. If the EMC requirements a higher a
shielded cable may be used on the connector versions of these sensors. Depending on the screening concept
the shield must be connected accordingly.
2.2 Pin assignment and connection diagram
The standard pin out for sensors with M12 connector is as follows
Check in the mounting instructions, which are delivered with each sensor, if your sensor has the same pin
configuration. In addition, the allowable supply voltage is also stated there.
