Principle of inductive proximity switch
Inductive proximity switch is composed of three parts:oscillator,switch circuit and magnified output circuit.
The oscillator  will generate an alternating electric field. When  the metal object approaches this electric field
and reaches the induction distance, whirlpool will generate in metal object, resulting in attenuation of vibration
and then stop. The changes of vibration and stop of oscillator is treated by behind stage magnified circuit and
converted to switching sign, triggering driving control for non- contact detection.

Application

Spacing detection
Inductive Proximity Switch
DC switch should adopt insulation transformer and ensure stable voltage mains corrugation.
If any electric power line or dynamic line passes through the surrounding of switch lead-wire, in order to prevent
the switch  from damage or error action, cover the metal bushing on the switch lead-wire and ground it to the earth.
Set the switch use distance within the rated distance to avoid the effectc from temperature and voltage.
Wiring while power-on is strictly prohibited. Connecting the wires strictly according to the wiring diagram and
   output return elementary diagram.

Explanation of technical terms
Series connection and parallel connection
Â
For your information, as to the same size sensor, we have three types:Â
1, pre-wire type, such as LM8-3001PA
2, connector type, such as LM8-3001PC C ( "C" means male connector type)
3, connector type+connector wire (with aviation connector type) LM8-3001PAT ( "T" means angle connector+wire, T3 means direct connector+wire)Â
As the prices for 1 and 2 types are the same, we just put one code LM8-3001PA to represent them. When customer order, they should tell us which type pre-wire or connector type they need. In future order, you can add "C" at the end of the codes, then we know you need connector types.
