Description

12 mm sensing side diameter

with NPN Normally open control output

Iron made standard sensing target with 12x12x1 mm dimensions

Improved noise resistance with dedicated IC (DC 3 wire)

Long life cycle and simple operations

Reverse polarity, surge, and over-current protection

IP67 ingress protection according to IEC standards

Red LED status indicator

Alternative to micro switches and limit switches

Body

The nut and case parts of PR12-4DN are made of nickel plated brass, its sensing side is made of PBT, and the washer part is nickel plated iron made.

The sensor's ingress protection rate is IP67 according to IEC standard. That means this sensor can be used in water with depth of up to 1 meter, for at most half an hour.

This proximity sensor features a red LED on its body, as the operation indicator.

Connection

The Autonics sensor PR12-4DN connection is cable type. This standard black cable is made of PVC. It is 4 mm in diameter and covers the sensor's 3 wires.

Sensing specifications

This inductive sensor features a 12 mm sensing side diameter. The maximum distance that an inductive proximity sensor can detect its standard sensing target in, is named sensing distance. The sensing distance for the PR12-4DN is 4 mm. This sensing distance differs from an object to another, based on their material, dimension, etc. Standard sensing target for this sensor is a 12x12x1 mm iron made piece.

Although almost no one talks about the setting distance of an inductive proximity sensor, It's necessary to know that for PR12-4DN is 0 to 2.8 mm. Setting distance is the distance is which the sensor can detect its standard sensing target, no matter what changes happened in temperature, voltage, etc. These changes can affect sensing distance, though.

Control output

This inductive proximity sensor's control output is NPN Normally Open. It means that as the sensor is actuated, no voltage on the output will be recognized.

Temperature

There are limitations in temperature and humidity in which this M12 NPN NO inductive sensor is used:

Ambient temperature: -25 … 70°C

Ambient humidity: 35 to 95%RH

Storage temperature: -30 … 80°C

Storage humidity: 35 to 95%RH

Environment resistance is rated at no freezing or condensation.

Industries / applications:

Automated production lines

Part detection on industrial conveyor systems
