The S3245 is a NAMUR-compliant inductive proximity sensor conforming to DIN 19234, designed for use in hazardous environments with a nominal voltage of 8 Vdc and operation across a 5 to 30 Vdc range. It has a flush mount design with a 2 mm sensing distance and an M12 x 1 external diameter. The sensor output current is less than 1 mA in the presence of metal and greater than 3 mA when metal is absent. It is constructed of nickel-plated brass, rated for IP67 protection, and operates between -25 and +70 °C with a maximum switching frequency of 2000 Hz and repeatability of ≤3%. It includes a 2-meter PVC cable and complies with 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.
