Inductive Sensor M30, NPN NO – PRL30-15DN

Autonics PRL30-15DN Inductive proximity sensor

High durability, NPN Normally Open, Non-shield (non-flush)

The PRL30-15DN inductive proximity sensor features solid sensing performance and excellent noise immunity with a specialized sensor IC developed by Autonics. This standard cylindrical inductive sensor can be easily used in diverse applications requiring detection of metallic objects without any direct contact.

As a quick report, this inductive proximity sensor provides:

• Non-shield (non-flush) installation

• 30 mm sensing side diameter

• 3-wire cable connection

• Simple operation, reliable performance, and high durability

• Operation indicator (red LED)

• Durable and reliable alternative to micro switches and limit switches

• Built-in surge protection circuit

• Built-in overcurrent protection circuit

• Built-in reverse polarity protection circuit

Body

The PRL30-15DN case is made of nickel-plated brass, its washer is made of nickel-plated iron, and the material of its sensing side is PBT.

Protection structure of this Autonics PR Series proximity sensor is IP67 (IEC standard).

This sensor has a red LED as the operation indicator on its body.

Connection

Connection of the PRL30-15DN is cable type which contains a cable covering its 3 wires. This standard cable is black and made of PVC.

Sensing specifications

The diameter of the PRL30-15DN sensing side is 30 mm and its sensing distance is 15 mm. Although almost no one talks about the setting distance of an inductive sensor, it should be announced that for this sensor, it is 0 to 10.5 mm.

Also, it should always be considered that this data is reported for the secure and standard sensing target, which is an 45x45x1 mm piece made of iron, for this product.

Control output

The control output of the case study proximity sensor is NPN Normally Open.

Temperature

There are limitations in environment temperature and humidity in which this M30 NPN 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.

It’s better not to use this product outside of these ranges, in order to keep it stable.
