Working Principle

Description

The Orange 8mm NPN Inductive Proximity Sensor RM18 detects metal objects using electromagnetic induction. When a metal object enters the sensor's magnetic field, it alters the field's properties, triggering a response from the sensor.

Inductive

Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Wrong Polarity: Do not connect the sensor with reversed polarity as it has inverted connecting protection.,
  • Prevent Short Circuits: Avoid short circuits by ensuring proper insulation and connections, as the sensor includes short-circuit protection.,
  • Exclude Non Metal Objects: Do not use this sensor to detect non-metal objects as it is designed specifically for metal detection.

Dos

  • Ensure Correct Voltage: Make sure the operating voltage is within the specified range of 6 to 36 VDC.,
  • Check Output Type: Verify that the output type (NPN Normally Open Three-line) matches the requirements of the connected circuit.,
  • Install Correctly: Install the sensor ensuring it is non-flush (unshielded) to allow the magnetic field to radiate properly.
