Inductive Sensors
Wiring
High-tension Lines
Wiring through Metal Conduit
:
If there is a power or high-tension line near the cable of the
Proximity
Sensor, wire the cable through an independent metal
conduit to
prevent against Proximity Sensor damage or
malfunctioning.
Cable Extension
Standard cable length is less than 200 m.
The tractive force is 50 N.
Mounting
The Proximity Sensor must not be subjected to excessive shock
with
a hammer when it is installed, otherwise the Proximity Sensor
may
be damaged or lose its water-resistivity.
Do not tighten the screw with excessive force. A washer must be
used with the screw.
Maintenance and Inspection
Periodically perform the following checks to ensure stable
operation
of the Proximity Sensor over a long period of time.
1.
Check for mounting position, dislocation, looseness, or
distortion
of the Proximity Sensor and sensing objects.
2.
Check for loose wiring and connections, improper contacts,
and
line breakage.
3.
Check for attachment or accumulation of metal powder or
dust.
4.
Check for abnormal temperature conditions and other
environ-
mental conditions.
5.
Check for proper lighting of indicators (for models with a set
indi-
cator.)
Never disassemble or repair the Sensor.
Environment
Water Resistivity
The Proximity Sensors are tested intensively on water resistance, but
in order to ensure maximum performance and life expectancy avoid
immersion in water and provide protection from rain or snow.
Operating Environment
Ensure storage and operation of the Proximity Sensor within the
given specifications.
Inrush Current
A load that has a large inrush current (e.g., a lamp or motor) will
damage the Proximity Sensor, in which case connect the load to the
Proximity Sensor through a relay.
