Autonics CR30-15DP DC10~30 15mm M30 Capacitive Proximity Sensor PNP-NO (Unshielded)

Capacitive proximity sensors operate based on the capacitor principle. The sensor contains a plate that acts as one plate of a capacitor, with the target acting as the other plate, and air serving as the dielectric. When an object approaches the sensor, the capacitance increases, and when it moves away, the capacitance decreases. This change in capacitance is detected by a threshold detector circuit, which then triggers the output switch.

• Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the sensor to temperatures beyond its operating range of -25 to 70°C and storage range of -30 to 80°C.,
• Prevent Overloading: Avoid exceeding the maximum output current of 200 mA to prevent damage.

• Check Compatibility: Ensure the target material's dielectric constant is higher than air for detection.,
• Install Correctly: Install the sensor ensuring it is non-flush (unshielded) to avoid interference.,
• Use Protection Features: Utilize the built-in surge and reverse polarity protection circuits to safeguard the sensor.

• Voltage: 10 to 30 VDC,
• Max Output Current: 200 mA

• Operating: -25 to 70°C,
• Storage: -30 to 80°C

• Description: The sensor comes with a 3-wire, 2-meter cable. Connect the wires according to the sensor's specification for PNP Normally Open output. Ensure correct polarity to utilize the built-in reverse polarity protection.
