Inductive Sensor M30, PNP NC – PR30-15DP2

Autonics PR30-15DP2 Inductive proximity sensor

High durability, PNP Normally Closed, Non-shield (non-flush)

The PR30-15DP2 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 PR30-15DP2 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 PNP NC sensor is IP67 (IEC standard).

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

Connection

Connection of the PR30-15DP2 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 PR30-15DP2 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 Autonics PR Series sensor.

Control output

The control output of the case study proximity sensor is PNP Normally Closed.

Temperature

There are limitations in environment temperature and humidity in which this PNP NC 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.
