Most models feature nickel plated brass (BN) and stainless steel (SS). Both flush mount and nonflush mount sensors are available. Nonflush sensors have larger sensing distances than their flush mount counterparts. All Inductive sensors meet IP67 (NEMA,,, 6,, ) protection levels. FLUSH MOUNT CYLINDRICAL SENSORS Flush Mounted, sometimes called embedded or shielded sensors, have electromagnetic fields concentrated directly in front of the sensing heads and may be mounted directly onto metal mounting brackets or embedded directly into metal without causing a false output. Figure 8 (located on page 7) also illustrates that on Cylindrical Flush Mount sensors there should be at least diameter of distance between adjacent sensors, and no non-target metal surfaces should be less than times the sensing distance Sn directly across from the sensing head. Also, two directly opposite sensors mounted in metal should be greater than 6 times the sensing distance apart. NON-FLUSH CYLINDRICAL SENSORS Sometimes called non-embedded or nonshielded, non-flush sensors have electromagnetic fields with a wide sensing angle and are unshielded (no metal surrounding the sensing head). Care must be taken to insure that no non-target metal comes in near proximity to the sensing head. Distances are demonstrated in Figure 8. Adjacent sensors should be separated by at least times the diameter. Non-target metal should be at least times the sensing distance directly across from the sensing head. Two directly opposite sensors should be at least 6 times the sensing distance apart. OUTPUT CONNECTIONS AC,DC (NO), and Normally Closed (NC). DC Complementary output (NO/NC) available on some models. OUTPUT CABLES Cylindrical Sensors are provided with meter PVC fixed cables. meter PVC, and meter PUR cables are optional. Consult Altech for more information. QUICK DISCONNECT CONNECTORS Altech sensors are available in a wide selection of Quick Disconnect styles for DC circuits. Virtually any sensor can be custom manufactured with a Quick Disconnect connector. Consult Altech for more information. Altech Corp. Royal Road Flemington, NJ Phone (908) Fax (908) 6-990

2 Cylindrical Sensors (continued) Quick Disconnect models are designed to be user-friendly and to simplify installation. Please see the product specification for sensors with quick disconnect connectors and matching cable assemblies on pages 6- in the accessory section.

Sensing Distances AC, DC, Cylindrical Style Sensors Type Voltage Flush (mm) Non-Flush (mm) Short Body DC Standard Series AC, DC Extended Sensing Range DC -8 AC DC Operating Voltages AC, DC Cylindrical Style 0-0VAC 0-0VDC Introduction The Inductive Proximity Sensor (IPS) is a solid state device that generates an output signal when metal objects are either inside or entering into its sensing area from any direction. No physical contact is required nor desired. IPS's work best with ferrous metals, however, they also work well with non-ferrous metals (aluminum, brass, copper, etc.) at reduced sensing distances, see Figure. First introduced in the mid ʼs, Inductive Proximity Sensors were designed as an alternative to mechanical limit switches for many applications. Initially, IPS's were made with housings similar in size and dimension to the limit switch, but had short Operating Current AC, DC Cylindrical Style AC 0 ma DC 0 ma 0mA Sensor Wiring Systems AC, DC Cylindrical Style AC -Wire DC -Wire -Wire All specifications subject to change without notice or obligation sensing distances. Following very good results with these new devices, market pressure led to the development of larger sensors with increased sensing distances. Inductive Proximity Sensors have no moving parts, operate very fast, are extremely reliable, require no maintenance and operate under extreme environmental conditions. They typically interface with Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and personal computers with appropriate hardware and software. They also control relays, solenoids, valves, etc., up to their maximum output current.

3 Operation Figure SENSOR CONFIGURATION An Inductive Proximity Sensor consists of an oscillator, a ferrite core with coil, a detector circuit, an output circuit, housing, and a cable or connector; see Figure. The oscillator generates a sine wave of a fixed frequency. This signal is used to drive the coil. The coil in conjunction with the ferrite core induces an electromagnetic field. When the field lines are interrupted by a metal object, the oscillator voltage is reduced proportional to the size and distance of the object from the coil. The reduction in the oscillator voltage is caused by eddy currents induced in the metal interrupting the field lines. This reduction in voltage of the oscillator is detected by the detecting circuit. In standard sensors, when the oscillator voltage drops below a present level, an output signal is generated. OPERATING VOLTAGES Most Altech Inductive Proximity Sensors are available in DC (0-0. VDC), AC (90-0VAC). Please refer to each product specification page for specific operating voltages. OUTPUT CURRENT Altech offers a range of IPS's with different output ratings from ma to 00mA. Please refer to each product specification page for specific output current. OUTPUT CONFIGURATION Outputs may be (NO) or Normally Closed (NC). DC Inductive Proximity Sensors are -wire. A -wire DC sensor can be a NPN or PNP output transistor. If the output load is connected to the negative power source then a sensor with a PNP output transistor is required. A PNP sensor is also known as a source sensor. If the output load is connected to the positive power source, then a sensor with a NPN output transistor is required. A NPN sensor is also known as a sink sensor. Please see Figure for PNP and NPN electronic output circuits. AC Inductive Proximity Sensors are -wire devices, except when using a sensor with a metal housing where a third wire is available for connection to system ground. HOUSING MATERIALS Altech Inductive Proximity Sensors use a variety of metallic housing materials. Please refer to each product specification for specific information on housing materials. CONNECTIONS Altech offers Inductive Proximity Sensors that feature either meter fixed PVC cable or a variety of quick disconnects. All quick disconnect models require an optional matching cable assembly. Custom cable lengths and material choices are also available. For more information, please refer to each product specification or the cable assemblies section on page 6-. FLUSH MOUNT AND NON-FLUSH MOUNT Flush Mount sensors are sometimes called Shielded or Embedded. A metal band surrounds the sensing head which contains a coil wound around a ferrite core as in Figure. The resulting electromagnetic field is directed in front of the sensor face. Flush sensors have a narrow sensing field which may be desirable in certain applications. In a Non-Flush (Nonshielded or Non-embedded) sensor; Figure, there is no metal band and the resulting electromagnetic field lines are much wider than the sensor face. Non- Flush sensors have a larger sensing distance than Flush sensors. OTHER CONSIDERATIONS: SENSORS IN SERIES AND PARALLEL Sensors may be wired in series or parallel. Refer to page 7 for more information.

Sn Su includes temperature, voltage & Mfg. tolerances TARGET CE MARK GENERAL INFORMATION The CE Mark is a compliance symbol, which means that the product meets the standards set by the European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization (CENELEC), and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). PROTECTION (Electrical) Most of the Inductive Proximity Sensors Altech offers have short circuit, overload, reverse polarity, and wire break protection. Please refer to the Technical Glossary pages - and the product specification for more information. PROTECTION (Sensor Housing) All Altech sensors are rated in accordance with IEC Publication 9, which describes degrees of protection that enclosures or sensor housings are designed to provide, the degree of protection is indicated by two letters (IP) and two numerals for additional information see the product specification and page. All Inductive sensors meet the following shock and vibration requirements: 0gʼs/ms, and 0- Hz/mm. SENSING DISTANCE There are several sensing distance definitions used in industry. The nominal sensing distance (Sn), is the conventional quantity to designate the operational distance. It is specified in the ordering pages, and does not include variations in production tolerances, supply voltage tolerances, and ambient temperature tolerances. A standard target used to specify sensing distance is a square piece of mild steel having a thickness of mm (0.0 in.). The sides of the square are equal to the diameter of the circle inscribed on the sensor face or three times the rated operating distance Sn, whichever is greater. The assured operation distance (Sa) is the smallest useful sensing distance which guarantees operation under variations in temperature, voltage and manufacture. It is given as 8% of Sn. See Figure. 0<Sa<.8 Sn. The effective sensing distance (Sr), is measured at nominal supply voltage and nominal ambient temperature and takes into account manufacturing tolerances: 0.9 Sn Sr. Sn The usable sensing distance, (Su), takes into account temperature, voltage variations and manufacturing tolerances:.8 Sn Su. Sn HYSTERESIS Hysteresis is the switch-on point when the object approaches the sensor's active surface, and switch-off point, when the object is moving away from the sensor's active surface. Without sufficient Hysteresis, an Inductive Proximity Sensor would chatter (continuously switching on and off), so it is designed into the sensor circuitry. The differential travel (Hysteresis) is given as a percent of the expected rated operating distance Sr.; See Figure 6. MAXIMUM SWITCHING FREQUENCY The switching frequency indicates the maximum number of switching operations of a sensor per second. The value listed in the product specifications is achieved with the conditions shown in Figure 7. The value is always dependent on target size, distance from sensing face and speed of target. Using a smaller target or space may result in a reduction of a specific sensor maximum switching frequency. ACCESSORIES Altech offers a full range of accessory products including quick disconnect cable assemblies, connectors, distribution boxes, etc. Please refer to each product specification and the accessory chapter starting on page 6. Products containing the CE mark are allowed to have free movement within the European Union (EU), and European Economic Area (EEA). Products manufactured in the USA that are exported to the EU and EEA should have the CE marking and utilize components also having the CE marking.

30 Glossary of Technical Definitions and Terminology Active Surface: Portion of the sensor from which the electromagnetic field radiates. Correction Factors: Multiplication factors taking into account variations in the target material composition. When calculating actual sensing distance, this figure should be multiplied by the normal sensing distance, Sn. Current Sinking: See NPN Current Sourcing: See PNP Damping Material: Material which causes a decrease in the strength of the electromagnetic or electrical field produced by the sensing coil. Differential Travel: See Hysteresis. Effective Operating Distance - 'Sr': The operating distance of an individual proximity switch measured at stated temperature and voltage. It takes into account variations in manufacturing tolerances. Ferrous Metal: Any metal containing iron. Flush Mounting: A shielded or embedded proximity sensor can be flush mounted in metal. It can be surrounded by metal up to the active sensing face. Hysteresis: The difference, in percentage (%) of the nominal sensing distance between the operate (switch on) and release point (switch off) when the target is moving away from the sensor's active face. Without sufficient hysteresis a proximity sensor will "chatter" (continuously switch on and off) when there is a significant vibration applied to the target or sensor. Leakage Current: Current which flows through the output when the output is in an "off" condition or de-energized. : Light Emitting Diode used to indicate sensor status. Load: A device that consumes power to perform a function. Maximum Load Current: The maximum current at which the proximity sensor can be continuously operated. Minimum Inrush Current: The maximum current level at which the proximity sensor can be operated for a short period of time. Minimum Load Current: The minimum amount of current required by the sensor to maintain reliable operation. Nominal Sensing Distance: The distance,sn, at which an approaching target activates (changes state of) the proximity output. This is also called the rated operating distance. Non-Ferrous Metal: Any metal which does not contain iron. Non-Flush Mounting: Unshielded, or non-embedded sensors must have a so called "free zone" around the sensor head, with no nontarget metal present to operate satisfactorily. Normally Closed: Output opens when an object is detected in the active switching area. : Output closes when an object is detected in the active switching area. NPN: The sensor switches the load to the positive terminal. The load should be connected between the sensor output and positive terminal. Operating Distance, Assured: Between 0 and 8% of the rated operating distance for inductive proximity switches. It is specified as Sa. Overload Protected: The ability of a sensor to withstand load currents between continuous load rating and a short circuit condition without any damage. PNP: The sensor switches the load to the negative terminal. The load should be connected between the sensor output and negative terminal. Rated Operating Distance - 'Sn': Sometimes called nominal operating distance, it does not take into account manufacturing tolerances or variations in temperature or voltage. Repeatability: The repeat accuracy of a sensor to detect an object at the same distance away from the active sensing face. It is expressed as a percentage of the sensing distance, or can be calculated as a specific measurement value. Residual Voltage: The voltage across the sensor output while energized and switching the maximum load. It is the voltage drop across the sensor. Response Time: See Switching Frequency Reverse Polarity Protection: Proximity sensors which are protected against a reversal in voltage polarity. Altech Corp. Royal Road Flemington, NJ Phone (908) Fax (908) 6-990

31 Ripple: The variance between peak-to-peak values in DC voltage. It is expressed as a percentage of rated voltage. Sensing Face: A surface of the proximity sensor parallel to the target, from which the operating distance is measured Shielded: Sometimes called Flush or Embedded. Short Circuit Protection: Sensor protected from damage when a shorted condition exists for an indefinite period of time without change. Static Output: A sensor output that stays energized as long as the target is present. Supply Current: The current consumed by the proximity switch when the output transistor is in the off condition. Switching Frequency: The maximum number of times per second the sensor can change state, (ON and OFF), usually expressed in Hertz (Hz)., as measured by DIN EN 000. Target: Object which activates the sensor. Transient Voltage Protection: Protection against damage caused by transient supply line voltages. Temperature Drift: Specification used to indicate the change in switching point caused by temperature variations within a specified ambient temperature range. Expressed as a percentage of the sensing distance. Useable Operating Distance - 'Su': The operating distance measured over a voltage range of 8% to 0% of its rated voltage. It allows for manufacturing tolerances. Voltage Drop: The maximum voltage drop across a conducting sensor. Wire Break Protection: The output is off if either power supply wire is broken. resistance. Self-extinguishing and flame retardant. Weld splash proof. PUR: Polyurethane, used in cables and cable assemblies. Elastic, abrasion proof, impact resistant, unaffected by oil, grease and solvents. PVC: Polyvinylchloride, used on cables and cable assemblies. Good mechanical strength, resistant to chemicals. METALS: Brass, Nickel Plated, used on cylindrical sensors. Rugged, resists thread damage. SENSOR HOUSING MATERIALS PBTP: Polybutelyne terephthalate, used in block sensors and front caps of cylindrical nickel plated brass units. Excellent mechanical strength and temperature Altech Corp. Royal Road Flemington, NJ Phone (908) Fax (908) 6-990
