Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi EI1204PPOPL is a DC 3-wire inductive proximity sensor featuring a thermoplastic housing, designed for industrial automation applications. This M12 sensor has a non-flush mounting type and a rated operating distance (Sn) of 4 mm, ensuring reliable detection of metallic objects. It provides a PNP normally open (NO) output, delivering a switching signal when a target is within range. The sensor operates within a voltage range of 10-40 V DC, with a maximum current rating of 200 mA, making it compatible with a wide range of control systems. Equipped with a 2-meter PUR cable for connection, it offers durable and flexible wiring for installation. The IP67 degree of protection ensures resistance to dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments. The switching frequency is rated at 500 Hz, allowing for fast detection and response times in high-speed applications. The operating temperature range is -25°C to +70°C, ensuring reliable performance in varying thermal conditions. This sensor is part of the IA12 family, known for its standard range detection capabilities and robust construction. It is ideal for detecting metallic objects in manufacturing, packaging, material handling systems, and other industrial automation processes where precise and reliable sensing is required.
