Proximity switch with NC contact for docking systems

The proximity switch with NC contact for docking systems is a universal optoelectronic sensor used to detect objects, especially metals such as steel. Here are some details and specifications of this sensor:

• Function: The sensor is designed to detect the presence or absence of metal objects. It has a normally closed (NC) contact, which means that contact is broken when a metal object comes within the detection range.

• Power: The sensor is powered with a voltage of 10 to 30 VDC (direct current). This is the required power range for the sensor to function correctly.

• Range: The sensor has a detection range of 1 to 400 mm. This means that it can detect metal objects within a distance ranging from 1 mm to 400 mm from the sensor.

• Light spot size: At a detection distance of 400 mm, the sensor has a light spot size of 45 x 45 mm. This indicates how large the detection area is at that point.

• Dimensions: The sensor itself has a diameter of 12 mm and a length of 60 mm.

• Connection cable: The sensor is supplied with a 2000 mm (2 meter) long PVC connection cable.

• Adjustable switching point: The sensor has a potentiometer to adjust the switching point. This means you can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor to your specific application.

This proximity switch with NC contact can be used in various ways, such as in the running rail for detecting doors or other metal objects. The adjustable switching point allows you to adapt the sensor to your specific needs. Make sure to follow the accompanying instructions for correct installation and operation.
