Wiring diagram
Functional principle
Capacitive proximity switches are designed
for non-contact and wear-free detection of
electrically conductive as well as non-conduc-
tive metal objects.
Mounting instructions / Description minimum distances
Distance D 40 mm
Distance W 60 mm
Distance S 60 mm
Distance G 120 mm
Diameter of the active area B ? 40 mm
The given minimum distances have been checked in
compliance with the standard switching distance.
Should the sensitivity of the sensors be changed via
potentiometer, the data sheet specifications no longer
apply.
