The IB182020 Inductive Proximity Sensor manufactured by IPF ELECTRONIC is designed for non-contact sensing of metallic objects. It is an analog output device, with an analog output voltage ranging from 1 to 9V, a sensing range of 0.5 to 5mm, and a supply voltage range of 11 to 35VDC. The device has a robust, corrosion-resistant zinc nickel steel housing, LED light indication of switching states, and a high sensing frequency for longer life and reliable operation. The sensor is also protected against reverse supply voltages, short circuits, and voltage transients.
