Inductive Sensor M30, DC 2 wire, Normally Open – PRCMT30-15DO

DESCRIPTION

Autonics inductive proximity sensor M30, NO – PRCMT30-15DO

Non-shield (non-flush), Standard connector, 15 mm Sensing distance

 

The Autonics proximity sensor PRCMT30-15DO features outstanding noise protection and stable sensing performance due to its specialized sensor IC developed by Autonics. This sensor comes in a round cylindrical shape, sensing distance of 15mm, sensing side diameter and housing size of m30 and Non-shield (non-flush) installation. The standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be used in diverse applications requiring non-contact detection of metallic objects.

As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:

  • 30 mm sensing side diameter
  • Normally Open control output
  • 15 mm sensing distance
  • Non-shield (non-flush) installation
  • Shorten the time of maintenance
  • Reverse surge, and over-current protection
  • IP67 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards
  • Red LED status indicator
  • Alternative to micro switches and limit switches.

Body

This proximity sensor’s case and nut parts are made of nickel-plated brass, its sensing side is made of PBT, and its washer is nickel plated iron made.

The PRCMT30-15DO features IP67 ingress protection.

The red LED on its body acts as the process indicator.

Connection

The PRCMT30-15DO features standard cable type connection. This black cable covers the sensor’s 2 wires. It is 5 mm in diameter and 2 meters in length, and is made of PVC.

Sensing specifications

This inductive sensor’s sensing side diameter is 30 mm. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect its standard sensing target, which is an 45x45x1 mm piece of iron, is 15 mm. This so-called sensing distance differs from one sensing target to another, based on their material, size, etc.

Although almost no one talks about the setting distance of an inductive sensor, it is a big deal to know this concept. Every sensor can detect its standard sensing target in a specified range, no matter what changes occur in ambient temperature, voltage fluctuations, etc. This Autonics PR Series distance, which is called the setting distance, is from 0 to 10.5 mm for this proximity sensor.

Control output

The PRCMT30-15DO features Normally Open control output.

Temperature

There are limitations in temperature and humidity in which PRCMT30-15DO proximity sensor is used:
