INTRODUCTION - Proximity Sensors
SENSING DISTANCE
Sensing ranges refer to a 1 mm thick square target of earthed mild steel with sides of 3 x the nominal sensing distance. If the target is a different material, or of another size, there will be a variation in the sensing distance.

INSTALLATION (MECHANICAL) Flush Mounting
Units designed for flush mounting, including all inductives listed in the catalog, may be fitted in surrounding metal as shown.
NOTE: Capacitive switches can, if required, be tuned down to be fitted flush in metal. See section on sensitivity adjustment.
INSTALLATION (ELECTRICAL) Single Units
DC units have transistor output, and normally have three wires, but NAMUR standard DC sensors have only two wires.
3 Wire DC Switch
2 Wire DC Sensor
Note that units with two wires must be connected to their power supply with a load in series, or they will be damaged. Consult cat­alog for load rating.
Logic Interface
Proximity sensors may be interfaced with most types of industrial logic. Most DC units are open collector type and therefore require an external pull up resistor when used with TTl as shown.
Flush Fitting
Non-Flush Mounting
Units designed for non-flush mounting, including Capacitive switches, must be separated from teh surrounding metal as shown.
Multiple Units: Parallel
DC sensors may be connected directly in parallel as in shown. The number (N) of switches is usually only limited by the availability of sufficient supply current. Note that the compact V bodied switches

Multiple Units: Series
The maximum number of DC sensors connected in series is limit­ed by the supply voltage (V supply), the voltage drop across a closed switch (V switch) and either the minimum working voltage of the switch or minimum working voltage of the load, whichever is greater (V min).
The diagram above shows a typical series configuration of PNP sensors. For NPN types, swap the blue for brown wire and recon­nect.
GENERAL INFORMATION LED Indicators
Most Proximity sensors are fitted with indicator lights (LED’s) at the cable end. The LED indicates the state of the switch output.
Maximum Voltage
The maximum voltage of DC proximity sensors is 30 V. It is some­times forgotten that a rectified 24 VAC supply has a peak value of
1.4 X the AC RMS value (34V). NOTE: These switches should be installed by competent person­nel only. Please check wiring and supply voltages before switch­ing on. If there are any technical questions regarding installation or application of Proximity sensors please contact the technical sales department.
A-800 DC Proximity Switch Test Unit
The A-800 is fitted with two PP3 batteries ready for use. This unit will test most 3 wire DC proximity switches PSI (metal sensing), PSC (most materials), the magnet sensing Detector (DT), photo­electrics or ultrasonics. Standard color coding for 3 wire Proximity switches is Brown=Positive (+), Black=Load, Blue=Negative (–). Note: Some universal DC switches can vary. Follow the maufacturer’s wiring instructions.
Testing Instructions
Connect the switch to the A-800. Place a suitable target in front of the switch. If it is functioning correctly, the test unit will give audio and visual indication showing that the switch operates and indicat­ing functionality of the switch according to the chart below.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT Inductive Switches
Inductive PSI sensors are not adjustable.
Capacitive Switches
Install the capacitive PSC sensor in its final position. Remove the black cover screw to gain access to the adjustment potentiometer. Turn the adjusting potentiometer clockwise to increase sensitivity or counterclockwise to reduce sensitivity. For example, the range and sensitivity of capacitive sensors can be adjusted to tune out the sidewall of a plactic container or glass window of a signt glass such that the level of liquid, granules or powders on the other side of the plastic or glass can be detected. For this application tune out the sight glass or wall with the con­tainer empty, detune the sensor so it cannot see the window or wall. Then test the settings by introducing the target material inside the container. Caution should be taken with materials that leave a residue inside the container as this may be sensed.
NOTE: To maintain the IP65 rating on capacitive sensors, it is imperative that the black cover screw be replaced after adjust­ment.

INTRODUCTION
The Proximity range includes inductive and Capacitive proximity switches and a Test unit. These are listed and stocked in out cat­alog for fast service. Should you need a non listed variant please contact the sales office.
Inductive switches will detect all metals. Capacitive switches will detect nearly all solids, powders and liquids, and the A-800 test unit will give a functionality test to all versions stocked in the cata­log and will test most three wire DC proximity switches from other manufacturers.
This range covers many industrial applications.

Sensing ranges refer to a 1 mm thick square target of earthed mild steel with sides of 3X the nominal sensing distance. If the target is of other material, or a different size, there will be variation in the sensing distance.

Multiple Units: Parallel
DC sensors may be connected directly in parallel as in shown. The number (N) of switches is usually only limited by the availability of sufficient supply current. Note that the compact V bodied switches have an internal pull-up resistor with a resistance of 12 kilohms. The maximum number of compact switches in parallel is: N=Rating Load Current (mA) x 12 Kilohm / V supply.
Non-Flush Mounting
Units designed for non-flush mounting which includes the Capacitive switches must be separated from surrounding metal as shown overleaf.
