Model MDE-Q5 Inductive Detection Sensor for All Metals

Application

  • Mounting is easy due to the square form factor. can be installed directly on metal surfaces.
  • Safely available even in the place where water may splash thanks to its molded type.
  • Small inductive sensor with a detection surface of 17 × 17 mm and a detection distance of 5 mm (Front side detection type)

Features

  • Non-magnetic metals such as aluminum, copper, etc. can be detected at a long distance as well as magnetic metals such as steel.

International Standards

  • Our products do not have overseas safety regulations such as CE mark, UL standard, EN standard etc.
  • Products is compliant to the RoHS directive.

* Please consult about "change of specification" and "request of specification" of the product.

Precautions During Use

Influence of Surrounding Metal

If there are metal objects around the inductive sensor, leave at least the space indicated in the figure below between them and the sensor.

Mutual Interference

If you use a number of the same product, separate them at least by the distances shown in the figure below to prevent reciprocal interference.
(Sensors with a different frequency are indicated with a B after the model name.)
