The Datasensing AT1/AP-2A8R Inductive Sensor is designed for precision and reliability in industrial applications. Featuring an M30 unshielded design, this sensor operates with a nominal sensing distance of 15mm and an operating range of 0 to 12.1mm. It is equipped with a PNP output type and a normally open (NO) output function, ensuring efficient proximity detection. The sensor is constructed with a robust nickel-plated brass housing and a durable PBT active head, providing excellent resistance to environmental factors. With a switching frequency of 200Hz and an operating voltage range of 10 to 30Vdc, this sensor is versatile and adaptable to various settings. It boasts a low no-load supply current of ? 20mA and a load current capacity of ? 400mA, with a minimal output voltage drop of ? 1V at 400mA. The sensor is equipped with a yellow LED indicator for output state visibility and features comprehensive protection mechanisms, including short-circuit, reverse polarity, impulsive overvoltage, and protection against inductive loads. The AT1/AP-2A8R is designed for easy installation with a 10m PVC cable connection and comes with two M30x1.5 nuts for secure mounting. It meets CE and UR approvals and complies with EMC compatibility standards IEC 60947-5-2. The sensor is built to withstand harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C and mechanical protection rated at IP67. Additionally, it is tested for vibration and shock resistance according to IEC standards, ensuring durability and longevity in demanding environments.
