The S3241 is a NAMUR-compliant inductive proximity sensor designed for metal detection, operating as a variable resistor with output current below 1 mA in the presence of metal and above 3 mA without. It operates from 5 to 30 Vdc with a nominal voltage of 8 Vdc, has a flush mounting design, a 2 mm sensing distance, and an external diameter of 6.5 mm. The case is nickel-plated brass, rated IP67, and functions from -25 to +70 °C with a maximum operating frequency of 2000 Hz and repeatability of ≤3%. It includes a 2-meter PVC cable and conforms to DIN 19234 and the EMC directive.
Working Principle
These sensors act as a variable resistor. With the active surface free, they have a low output resistance. In the presence of a metal target the output resistance is high. The resulting variation in the current is used to control a signal amplifier.
Technical Characteristics
Nominal voltage: 8 Vdc (7,7 - 9V) - Load resistance 1K ohms Output current: In the presence of metals < 1 mA Output current: In the absence of metals > 3 mA These sensors can be used in a variable voltage field from 5 to 30 Vdc.
Amplifiers
All the NAMUR sensors can operate in connection with the following amplifiers: ALNC type for 1 sensor; ALTP delayed type for 1 sensor or ALN2 type for 2 sensors. Furthermore, they can be connected to the electronic rotation controls CRTP.
