The XS range is an offer of inductive proximity sensors for the detection, without physical contact, of metal objects. This sensor is conforming to 94/9/EC - ATEX directive. Therefore, it is suitable for explosive atmospheres. It is designed for position, displacement and deformation control/monitoring. The operating principle of this sensor is that of a damped oscillator. The degree of damping will depend on the distance of an object from the sensing face. The sensor will sense the distance and produce an output current with a value directly proportional to this distance It is a diameter 30mm sensor with an 4mA to 20mA analogue output signal . Two-wire, DC supply, 12V to 24V. It features a diameter 30mm cylindrical metal case and a 2m long cable. It has a sensing distance of 10mm.
