Fargo Controls, Inc. Rectangular DC 3 Wire Inductive Proximity Sensor S3162

The S3162 is a rectangular DC 3-wire inductive proximity sensor with PNP normally open output, designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects. It features short circuit and reverse polarity protection, an LED function indicator, and an IP67-rated case made of anodized aluminum. The sensor operates on a 6-30 Vdc supply with a maximum switching current of 200 mA, a voltage drop of less than 1.8 V when ON, and a power drain under 12 mA at 24 Vdc. It has a sensing range of 2 mm, an operating frequency of 2 kHz, and a repeatability of ≤3%. The standard output connection is a 2-meter PVC cable, with 3.5, 5, 7.5, and 10 meter lengths available upon request. Flush mounting is supported, and the operating temperature range is -25 to +70 °C, with a high-temperature +100 °C version available on request.
