Wiring Diagram
Functional principle
Inductive sensors detect metal objects contactless and wear-free. Due to the patented
multi-coil system, uprox®+ sensors have distinct advantages over conventional sensors.
They excel in largest switching distances,
maximum flexibility and operational reliability
as well as efficient standardization.
