Application Examples
This system has a control to detect whether a container has a capand sort cap-less containers. When a photoelectric sensor detectsa container on the conveyor, a proximity sensor simultaneouslydetects if the container has a metal cap. Containers without capsare pressed out and sorted by a pusher.
A combination of a rotary encoder and an electronic counter detectsa length at which to cut a workpiece, and the output of the electroniccounter is used to operate the rotary cutter. As the rotary cutterrotates, a proximity sensor operates to reset the electronic counter.As a result, the clutch is disengaged and the brake functions.
A proximity sensor detects the rise and fall of the press head, and thedata are input to electronic counters C1 and C2. Roll 2 is rotated as C1counts up, and the workpiece is pulled. As C1 (number of punch-outtimes) counts up, the system stops the pressing operation, turns the rollfor a given length of time, and then carries out the workpiece.
A power shovel's bucket is controlled using a proximity sensor sothat the bucket is kept horizontal in the lowest-stage position.Keeping the bucket horizontal by maneuvering the control leveralone requires a high level of skills. However, using a proximitysensor to automatically control the bucket facilitates the operation.
When the rotation angle of the table against the reference position isdetermined using an electronic counter, the table stops at apredefined angle.
Cap Detection System Cutting a Workpiece to a Constant Length
Press Control System Controlling the Position of a Power Shovel's Bucket
When the tightening torque reaches the specification after startingtightening the nut, the clutch starts sliding.The system captures a difference in intervals between pulsesgenerated from proximity sensors attached to the drive and drivensides, and sends a tightening-completion signal to stop the motor.
Setting the Rotation Angle Sliding Detection System
The proximity sensor generates pulses when it detects the rotation ofthe bobbin. The pulse count is entered to the counter, and comparedwith dual preset values: the expected total number of turns of wire,and the total number minus one. When the pulse count has reachedthe second setting, the reduction gear is activated. The bobbin stopscompletely when the count equals the first setting. At the same time,the timer activates the counter to cut the wire.

Any plate outside the tolerance is rejected.
A proximity sensor detects the presence of a workpiece such as asteel material on a machine tool or the like to prevent the machinefrom idling.
Proximity sensor
Workpiece
A wire taken up to a bobbin is hooked on an arm for detecting wirebreakage. When the wire is broken, the arm moves and a proximitysensor detects the arm, causing the Control board to issue a wirebreakage alarm and the clutch to operate to stop the rotation of thebobbin.
Controlling Position stopping
As a proximity sensor detects a metal object attached to an indextable, a clutch/brake operates to stop the table and anelectromagnetic valve opens for a period of time set with the timer,thus to feed a given volume of content from the tank to a container.
Determining the Area to be Painted
A proximity sensor detects a steel plate traveling on the conveyor,while other proximity sensors and an electronic counter are used toallow painting to be performed according to the width and length ofthe steel plate.

Overview/Glossary of Terms
Overview
What is Proximity Sensor?The proximity sensor is a sensing device that detects a targetobject without contacting it (i.e., in proximity to it) unlikeconventional mechanical sensors such as micro-switches and limitswitches. Its name derives from the state of “proximity” to targetobjects.Accordingly, this sensor has advantages over mechanicalswitches, such as higher speed, longer service life and higherreliability. And various types of proximity sensors with differentoperating principles, which are not universal in many aspects, aremanufactured. The operating principles vary widely includinginduction, magnet, electric capacitance, ultrasonic wave, electricwave, air pressure and photo-electricity. Recently, proximitysensors are more commonly called by their specific operatingprinciples, for example photoelectric sensors and ultrasonicsensors, while “proximity sensors” may only mean induction-based, magnet-based and capacitance-based proximity sensors.
Proximity sensors have the following features. No need to have the sensor contact the target or apply a force
to the sensor for generating output. No wear allows long-term operation. No bounce from contact minimizes false operation. Components inside the sensor consist of semiconductor
elements and have no moving parts, enabling a long service lifeto be ensured.
Hardly affected by surrounding conditions and capable ofnormally functioning even in locations exposed to muchhumidity or much workload.
Proximity sensors are ideal sensing devices that can be used inthe following applications. Transportation and conveyor systems Packaging machines Woodworking machines Bottling and filling machines Plastic processing machines Textile machines Machines used for storage and preservation work at
warehouses Machine tools Automobile industries Controlling and automation technologies
There are many more fields of applications.

Rated operating distance (standard operating distance)
Rated operating distance is the rated value of a operating distancebetween the reference position and a standard object at which thestandard object starts approaching the proximity sensor in theaxial direction until the sensor operates to detect the object. Rated operating distance does not take into account externalfactors such as voltage and temperature or effective operatingdistance.The reference position generally equals to the detection plane.
Effective operating distance (variation in operating distance)
An individual proximity sensor has a variation in operating distancefrom its own rated operating distance. This variation is calledeffective operating distance.In general, effective operating distance is equal to or less than±10% of the rated operating distance of a proximity sensor withinits distance range at constant temperature and constant voltage.For details, see the specifications.
Differential travelThe distance at which the object to be detected approaches theproximity sensor until the sensor operates is called operatingdistance. By contrast, the distance at which the object movesaway from the proximity sensor until the operation of the sensorreturns to the origin is called return distance. The differencebetween the operating distance and the return distance is calleddistance difference.In general, distance difference is equal to or less than 20% of theeffective operating distance.For details, see the specifications. Normal proximity sensor:
Standard target objectThe operating distance of a proximity sensor varies with the sizeand material of the object.The greater the size of the object, the longer the operating distancebecomes. However, the operating distance becomes constantwhen the size reaches a certain level.Normally, the smallest object that gives this constant operatingdistance is used as a standard object. The standard object must bemade of iron (SPCC) and have a thickness of 1 mm.
The JIS-C8201-5-2 (IEC60947-5-2) defines a standard object tobe made of iron with a thickness of 1 mm. It also defines its size(length of a side) to be the greater value between the diameter ofthe detection plane and the triple of the operating distance.Example: the size of the standard object for a sensor with a
detection plane M18 and an operating distance of 8 mm:18 mm < 8 mm × 3 = 24 mm
Thus, the size of the standard object should be 24 mm square.However, it should be noted that this size is only a typical value.See the specifications for details.

Overview/Glossary of Terms
Rated operating distance (set distance)
It refers to the distance between the reference point (detectionplane) and the target object at which a proximity sensor stablyoperates under all conditions in the specifications such astemperature, voltage fluctuation and effective operating distance.When installing a proximity sensor, install it so that the distancebetween the object and the proximity sensor's detection plane iswithin the rated operating distance.If the target object is smaller than the standard detection object oruses a different material from the standard detection object, thetarget object needs to be closer to the proximity sensor than theoperating distance of the target object.
Output standardThe output standard is the level of an output signal that can beapplied to a load, and is expressed in unit. It indicates that (thesensor) is capable of activating those KOYO counters, static controlrelays and the likes that have the same or smaller number of inputstandards as/than the number of output standards. For example, aproximity sensor with output standard 7P6N can be connectedsimultaneously to up to three units of counters with input standard 2Pand up to three units of static control relays with input standard 2N.For output standard, (the sensor) is capable of driving:
1P = outflow current of 0.24 mA1N = inflow current of 0.8 mA
Detection areaIt indicates the track of the operating point on one end of theobject to be detected when the standard detection objectapproaches a proximity sensor from the side of the detection planeof the sensor in parallel with the detection plane (point A in thefigure), and of the return point when it retreats.

Switching frequencyIt refers to the maximum output switching frequency at which astandard detection object can be sensed within a unit of time.

Operating Instructions Common to All Models
Setting the position of the objectThe operating distance of a proximity sensor refers to the distancebetween the detection plane and the target object at which the objectstarts approaching the proximity sensor until the sensor operates.The operating distance slightly fluctuates according to change insurrounding conditions such as temperature and voltagefluctuations. Therefore, taking this into account, it is necessary toset the maximum approaching distance of the object shorter thanthe operating distance in order to stably operate the proximitysensor. This is called a rated operating distance. The distancebetween the object and the detection plane when actually using aproximity sensor needs to be within this value. When using a standard detection object, the rated operating distanceis between 70% and 80% of the operating distance. If the size of thetarget object is smaller than the standard detection object, or if anobject other than iron is used, the operating distance is shorter.Therefore, it is also necessary to set the rated operating distanceshorter (70% or less of the operating distance of the object). For details of ratios of rated operating distances, see the specifications.
How to install an embedded/non-embedded type proximity sensor
Metal cylindrical type
Resin cylindrical type
Proximity sensors are divided into embedded and non-embeddedtypes. Embedded types can be used as implanted into a metal.Non-embedded types cannot be implanted into a metal, butprovide longer operating distances than embedded types to allowlong-range detection.With embedded types having metal cylindrical shapes, the detectionplane is on the same level as the metal casing, while the detectionplane of non-embedded types protrudes from the metal casing, makingit easy for the user to distinguish between them.Shapes such as cylinder and square are common to both embeddedand non-embedded types. When installing the sensor, be sure tocheck its specifications in advance.

Installing an embedded typeAn embedded type of proximity sensor can be mounted to a metalby being implanted into it as indicated in the figure below(regardless of the shape).
Installing a non-embedded typeAs shown in the figure below, a non-embedded type of proximitysensor cannot be implanted into a metal when used. In addition,this type is easily affected by surrounding metals. When installingthis kind of proximity sensor in a depressed portion of a metal asindicated in the figure, secure a space around the sensor at leastthree times greater than the sensor diameter. The following figure is a basic mounting method. See thespecifications for details.
Interval in parallel installationWhen installing proximity sensors in parallel, secure a sufficientinterval between each sensor so that the sensors are not affectedby each other (mutual interference). As shown in the figure below,embedded types require an interval at least twice the sensordiameter. Non-embedded types require an interval at least fourtimes greater the sensor diameter.The following figure is a basic mounting method. See thespecifications for details.

When using two or more proximity sensors in approximate positions or inclose contact each other, mutual interference between the sensors mayoccur and cause the operation of the sensors to become unstable.For such applications, models that have different frequencies to preventmutual interference are available.By installing proximity sensors classified by frequency, you can use themwithout causing mutual interference between the sensors.Frequency classification is expressed as "L," "M" or "H" in the end of themodel number. "M," which represents the basic frequency, is in principleomitted (see the section concerning model number configuration)."H" refers to models with higher frequencies than the standardfrequency (M), while "L" indicates models with lower frequenciesthan the standard frequency (M).

Operating Instructions Common to All Models Plating on a target objectIf the surface of the object is plated, the operating distance may bevaried. With plated iron, in particular, the operating distance is10% to 30% shorter depending on the type of plating.
Precautions to be taken when turningON/OFF the power
The output status of a proximity sensor when the power is turnedon and off is always OFF regardless of whether the sensor isdetecting an object or not. The behavior of the output state beingOFF for a certain period after the power is turned on is called theinitial resetting. In the situations described below, however, theoutput may be temporarily OFF (or ON). This duration isproportional to the length of the operating distance of the proximitysensor, and will last for approximately 10 to 100 ms. If theproximity sensor is connected to a counter or programmablecontroller, there will be no problem since an initial resetting circuitis incorporated into the counter or programmable controller. Inother cases, take precautions to avoid the following situations.
a) The target object is positioned at around the detection distanceof the proximity sensor.
b) The rated operating voltage of a proximity sensor of DC voltageoutput type or DC switching output type increases (decreases) witha large time constant when the power is turned on (turned off).
c) Power source containing chatters or noise is applied to (shut offfrom) a proximity sensor of AC switching output type.
Capacitor/lamp loadWith proximity sensors of DC switching output or AC switchingoutput type, a capacitor or a lamp, such as incandescent lamp,whose rush currents are large, cannot be connected directly to thesensor. They need to be connected to the sensor via a relay or acurrent limiting resistor.

<Calculation example>
Short-circuit protection circuitSome models are provided with a short-circuit protection circuit.The short-circuit protection circuit protects the output of theproximity sensor by shutting off the rated service current when theload is short-circuited due to misconnection of the proximity sensoror fracture of the load. When a current greater than the maximumrated operating current of the proximity sensor is applied or whenthe rush current exceeds the maximum rated operating current,such as a solenoid, capacitor and lamp load, the short-circuitprotection circuit may function to prevent the current from beingapplied to the load and the sensor from normally operating.
Precautions on checking wiringsDo not perform check methods that may generate a high voltageor cause a large current to flow to check wiring of a proximitysensor, such as a buzzer test or lamp test.
Precautions on connectionBe sure to correctly and reliably connect the lead wire of aproximity sensor. Mis-wiring or inappropriate wiring may damage the proximitysensor or peripherals.
Precautions on wiringSecure at least 30 mm for the bend radius of the lead wire. Do not acutely bend the lead wire at a distance within 30 mm fromthe lead wire outlet.
Precautions on use If the lead wire is long in high-speed response, it may cause
distortion in the output waveform due to a line capacitance. When turning off a proximity sensor, the output may become
ON or OFF for an instant. We recommend first turning OFF theload.
If a motor or welding machine that generates a large surge isnear the proximity sensor, and if the load on the proximitysensor itself serves as the source of a large surge, insert asurge absorber such as a varistor in the source.
Do not give vibrations to the cable for a long period.

Operating Instructions Common to All Models
[2-wire Type] ConnectionBe sure to correctly and securely connect the lead wires of aproximity sensor. Mis-wiring or inappropriate wiring may damagethe proximity sensor or peripheral equipment.For the correct connection, see the figure below.
Wiring the leadsWhen wiring the leads of a proximity sensor, separately wire the leadsindependent of the power line and the high-voltage line. Be sure notto use the same wiring duct or the same wiring tube. Using the samewiring duct or the same wiring tube may cause malfunction.If the lead extension is to be 30 m or less, use a lead wire with asectional area of 0.3 mm2 or more. If the lead is to be extended 30m or more, use a lead wire with a conductor resistance of 100 Ω/kmor less. Since extension of the lead wire in high-speed responsemay cause a distortion in the output waveform due to line-to-linecapacitance or the like, it is necessary to use much care.
Logical OR/AND connection of aproximity sensor
With a DC 2-wire proximity sensor, logical OR and logical AND arenot allowed in principle. It cannot be serially connected with acontact sensor either in principle.
Connection with a programmablecontroller
A DC 2-wire proximity sensor can be connected with the DC inputmodule of a programmable controller. When using a DC 2-wireproximity sensor in combination with a programmable controller,however, be sure to check the connectivity with the DC inputmodule when the sensor is turned ON and OFF in advance.Example of checking the connectivity(1) ON
(Rated service voltage) − (operating voltage of the input module) ≥ (voltage drop of theproximity sensor)
or(Rated service voltage) − (minimum ON-current of the input module × internalresistance) ≥ (voltage drop of the proximity sensor)
(2) OFF(Minimum OFF-current of the input module) ≥ (Leakage current of the proximity sensor)
Precautions on useSince the internal circuit of a DC 2-wire proximity sensor operates anda slight current (Leakage current) flows even when the output is OFF. This may cause a low level of voltage to remain in the load,resulting in the load's failure in returning to zero.Before using the sensor, be sure to check that this voltage is equalto or greater than the return voltage of the load.
[3-wire Type] ConnectionFor a DC 3-wire proximity sensor, two types of output areavailable: NPN output and PNP output.Mis-wiring or inappropriate wiring may damage the proximitysensor or peripheral equipment.For the correct connection, see the figure below.
Connection with NPN output
Connection with PNP output
Logical OR connectionIf DC 3-wire proximity sensors are provided with logical ORconnection, the loads are driven when either output of theproximity sensor is activated. When logical OR connection is provided, multiple proximitysensors can be connected as long as the sum of the Leakagecurrents of all proximity sensors does not affect the load to bemade/broken. Note that you cannot mix NPN and PNP outputs.
Example of logical OR connection of NPN output

Logical AND connectionIf DC 3-wire proximity sensors are provided with logical ANDconnection, the load is driven when the outputs of all proximitysensors are activated.When logical AND connection is provided, multiple proximitysensors can be connected as long as the sum of the voltage dropsof all proximity sensors does not affect the rated operating voltageof each proximity sensor and the drive voltage of the load.The initial resetting time of each proximity sensor is added to theswitching frequency of the output.You cannot mix NPN and PNP outputs. However, logical ANDconnection where one NPN output and one PNP output are usedis allowed.

Example of logical connection where NPN outputand PNP output are mixed
Proximity sensor 1: PNP outputProximity sensor 2: NPN output[Advantages]Voltage drop of a proximity sensor does not affectthe operating voltage of the proximity sensor.The circuit operates with the switching frequency ofthe proximity sensor alone.
Connection with a programmable controllerA proximity sensor with DC 3-wire NPN output can be connecteddirectly with the DC input module of a KOYO programmablecontroller. For the operating voltage for the proximity sensor, usea DC stabilized power supply at +24 VDC.
Operating voltage APS/CS SeriesThe APS and CS Series of DC 2-wire and 3-wire proximitysensors include types for which a full-wave rectified operatingvoltage can be used. For details, see the specifications.
Wiring the leadsWhen wiring the leads of a proximity sensor, separately wire theleads independent of the power line and the high-voltage line. Besure not to use the same wiring duct or the same wiring tube.Using the same wiring duct or the same wiring tube may causemalfunction.If the lead extension is to be 30 m or less, use a lead wire with asectional area of 0.3 mm2 or more. If the lead is to be extended 30m or more, use a lead wire with a conductor resistance of 100 Ω/kmor less. Since extension of the lead wire in high-speed responsemay cause a distortion in the output waveform due to line-to-linecapacitance or the like, it is necessary to use much care.

Since extension of the lead wire in high-speed responsemay cause a distortion in the output waveform due to line-to-linecapacitance or the like, it is necessary to use much care.For locations subject to much noise or surge, take the followingmeasures.1) Insert a 16-V Zener diode between the signal line (black) and
the ground (blue) (near the proximity sensor).2) If a slow level of the switching frequency is allowed, insert a
nonpolar capacitor (0.1 to 0.5 µF) between the signal line andthe ground.
Output
As indicated in the figure above, the output type is collectorfollower. Since the output is voltage signals, a large load such asa relay cannot be driven.
P output standard:The output standard 1P indicates the output capacity at which anoutput voltage of 6 V or higher is maintained even if a rated operativecurrent of 250 µA flows out from the output when the output equals to"1." If the output standard is nP (n: integer), the output voltage is 6 Vor higher against a flow-out current of n × 250 µA.
N output standard:The output standard 1N indicates the capacity at which a voltagedrop of 1 V or less is ensured even if a rated operative current of800 µA flows in to the output when the output equals to "0." If theoutput standard is nN (n: integer), the output voltage is 1 V or lessagainst a flow-in current of n × 800 µA.

ConnectionBe sure to correctly and securely connect the lead wires of aproximity sensor. Mis-wiring or inappropriate wiring may damagethe proximity sensor or peripherals, or lead to grounding failure orelectrical shock.
Logical OR connection, logical ANDconnection
AC switching output type proximity sensors cannot be providedwith logical OR connection or logical AND connection. Serial orparallel connection with contact type sensors is not allowed inprinciple either.* If logical OR connection or logical AND connection is required,
drive a relay with each proximity sensor and establish logical ORconnection or logical AND connection at the relay contacts.
Precautions on the circuita) Surge protectionIf a motor or welding machine that generates a large surge is nearthe proximity sensor, and if the load on the proximity sensor itselfserves as the source of a large surge, insert a surge absorbersuch as a varistor in the source.
b) Load with a large making currentIf a load with a large making current, such as a lamp or motor, isapplied, use a proximity sensor via a relay.* In general, in a lamp or motor, a making current at least 10 times
greater than the rated current flows. Accordingly, such a makingcurrent may deteriorate or damage the proximity sensor.

c) Affection of an Leakage current with a proximitysensor
With an AC 2-wire type, an Leakage current (circuit current withinthe proximity sensor) flows even when the output is in the OFFstate. As a result, a voltage remains in the load, and the sensormay operate due to a voltage drop depending on the load, orcause chattering. In such cases, connect a breeder resistor inparallel with the load to reduce the voltage drop between bothends of the load.
d) When the rated operative current is smallIf the rated operative current is 10 mA or less, connect a breederresistor in parallel with the load so that a current of 10 mA orgreater flows in the proximity sensor.By providing a current of 10 mA or greater, the SCR switchingelement inside the proximity sensor can stably operate and thevoltage drop can be minimized.
Wiring the leadsWhen wiring the leads of a proximity sensor, separately wire theleads independent of the power line and the high-voltage line. Besure not to use the same wiring duct or the same wiring tube.Using the same wiring duct or the same wiring tube may causemalfunction.If the lead extension is to be 30 m or less, use a lead wire with asectional area of 0.3 mm2 or more.

copper bar into the opening with a 3-N force.IP40 : No entrance must be observed after pressing a Ø1.0-mm
copper bar into the opening with a 1-N force.IP50 : No entrance of dust into the product must be observed in
an atmosphere with suspended dust under constantpressure.
Water resistance (watertight type)IP66 : No entrance of water into the product must be observed
and the product must normally operate after water is jettedfor three minutes from a hydraulic nozzle.
IP67 : No entrance of water into the product must be observedand the product must normally operate after it is immersedunderwater 1-m plus deep within ±5˚C of roomtemperature for 30 minutes.
Submergible typeIP68 : No entrance of water into the product must be observed
and the product must normally operate after it undergoes a12-cycle (24 hours) energizing test (one cycle consists ofone hour of energization and one hour of non-energization)in water within ±5˚C of room temperature.
[Cautions] Precautions on useEven products with protection grades IP67 or IP68 must not beused in locations subject to water, oil or large temperature change,or in the open air subject to direct sunlight or rain over a longperiod.The properties of the resin casing may easily be deteriorated bywater, oil, ultra-violet ray (sunlight) or temperature change, andsuch deterioration may allow water or oil to penetrate into thecasing to cause malfunction. When using a proximity sensor in locations as indicated above, itis necessary to assume decrease in reliability. In addition, it isalso necessary to protect the sensor from being directly exposedto sunlight, water or oil by using a cover or the like, and take muchcare to prevent malfunction, grounding failure or electric shock incase the proximity sensor is damaged.
Use in hot waterIn hot water at temperature of approximately 60˚C or in locationssubject to steam, do not use the proximity sensor since doing somay corrode the PBT resin of the casing. PBT resin is used on the detection plane even with metal-casingtypes.
Using vinyl chloride lead wires in high-temperature locations
If using the proximity sensor in locations at temperature 80˚C orhigher, firmly secure the lead wires so that they are not easily bentduring operation.

Wiring-saving2-wire design reduces the wiring man-hours to two thirds of theconventional 3-wire design.
Power-savingIn comparison to the current consumption of 10 to 20 mA with the3-wire design, the 2-wire design consumes a current only at 0.55mA or less the current when the output is OFF (Leakage current),thus to achieve power-saving.
Long operating distanceThe longer operating distance allows easy settings.

Installation and Influence of Surrounding Metals
A proximity sensor is susceptible to surrounding metals. When installing the sensor, secure a sufficient distance longer than the indicateddimension.
Mutual Interference and Model Classification by Frequency
When using two or more proximity sensors in close contact with eachother, secure an interval between the proximity sensors (center tocenter) at least 10 times the operating distance. If the interval isinadequate, mutual interference may occur.In applications where it is impossible to secure adequate intervals, usemodels classified by frequency. Normally, frequency classification isindicated by an alphabet immediately after the operating distance of themodel number.
Those models classified by frequency have either of the followingmarkings on the cable so that they can easily be distinguished fromother models.For high frequencies (H) : yellow spiral markFor low frequencies (L) : red spiral mark
APS5- 12GK-E(M) Model with a standard frequency(normally, "M" is omitted)
APS5- 12GK-EL Model with a lower frequency than thestandard frequency
APS5- 12GK-EH Model with a higher frequency thanthe standard frequency
Example:
Combinations of models classified by frequency (can be installed with casings in close contact with each other)
APS5-12GK-E(M)LH
APS10-18GK-E(M)L 50
* To install four or moresensors in close contact,preliminary study isrequired.

* Position of the target object for a top-sensing model If a metallic object is present near the proximity sensor, the operating distance changes and the operation becomes unstable. Secure a sufficient distance from the sensor
as long as possible. The “D” (mm) is the minimum distance from the proximity sensor’s detection plane to the metallic object. Secure a sufficient distance longer than the indicated. If the “B” dimension of APS2.5-8M is 3.7 mm (close contact), the detection plane edge of the proximity sensor needs to be at least 3 mm away from the metal.
Precautions on handling the product
Before using the product- If no target object is present when the sensor is turned on, a detection signal may be output for approx. 25 ms. If a target object is
present near the sensor, a detection signal may be output for approx. 100 ms.
Precautions on installation- When using screws to mount the product, be sure not to give stress to the sensor.
* Tightening the screw with a force exceeding the specification value of 0.4 Nm for the tightening torque may break the sensor.
UL approvalWhen using the sensor as a UL approved product, use a Class-2 power source.A UL approved product is required to be approved in recognition and use a Class-2 power source.

Mutual Interference and Classification of Frequencies
When using two or more proximity sensors in close contact with eachother, secure an interval between the proximity sensors (center tocenter) at least 10 times the operating distance. If the interval isinadequate, mutual interference may occur.In applications where it is impossible to secure adequate intervals, usemodels classified by frequency. Normally, frequency classification isindicated by an alphabet immediately after the operating distance of themodel number.
Those models classified by frequency have the following marking onthe cable so that they can easily be distinguished from other models.
For low frequencies (L) : red spiral mark
APS4-12S-E(M) -E2
Model with a standard frequency(normally, "M" is omitted)
APS4-12S-EL Model with a lower frequency than thestandard frequency
APS4-12 - (M)L(Excluding -E1 type)

When using two or more proximity sensors in close contact with eachother, secure an interval between the proximity sensors (center tocenter) at least 10 times the operating distance. If the interval isinadequate, mutual interference may occur.In applications where it is impossible to secure adequate intervals, usemodels classified by frequency. Normally, frequency classification isindicated by an alphabet immediately after the operating distance of themodel number.
Those models classified by frequency have either of the followingmarkings on the cable so that they can easily be distinguished fromother models.For high frequencies (H) : yellow spiral markFor low frequencies (L) : red spiral mark

Connection/Operation
Installation MethodA capacitive proximity sensor detects an object by sensing changein capacitance of the surrounding bodies. When installing thesensor, secure a distance between the sensor and thesurrounding bodies longer than the corresponding value indicatedin the table below.
A capacitive proximity sensor is highly sensitive to water. Do notuse a capacitive proximity sensor in high humidity or in locationswhere the sensor is likely to be contacted directly with water.Doing so may cause malfunction.
When using the sensor in locations where it is likely to becontacted directly with water droplets or the like, it is necessary totake a preventive measure such as one indicated below.
GroundingThe operating distance varies according to the grounding state ofthe standard target object (50 × 50 × 1 t) and that of the capacitiveproximity sensor. Take this into account when installing thesensor and determining the responding material.

Potentiometer for Adjusting theOperating DistanceA capacitive proximity sensor is equipped with a multi-turnpotentiometer in the back for adjusting the operating distance.After installing the capacitive proximity sensor, turn this multi-turnpotentiometer to adjust the operating distance to the standarddistance while using a metal plate equal to or greater than thegrounded standard target object (50 × 50 × 1 t), or shorter than thestandard distance depending on the application. Turning thepotentiometer to the right increases the operating distance, whileturning it left decreases the distance. The maximum number ofturns for adjustment is 16 ± 5. However, even if the maximumnumber is exceeded, the rotation continues without damaging thepotentiometer. Setting the operating distance greater than therated operating distance will make the operation unstable.(CS10-34CU-E is excluded.)
Precautions(1) Use much care not to cause condensation or freezing on the
detection plane, or let dust adhere to the detection plane.They may cause malfunction.
(2) Use care not to let a liquid or powder in a non-metalliccontainer adhere to the sensor. It may cause malfunction.
(3) To install CS-16-5T or CS-16-5N, use M4 screws. Wheninstalling these models, use care not to let the screws enter thecasing by more than 6 mm.
(4) With a DC 3-wire type proximity sensor, a load with a largemaking current (lamp, motor, solenoid or the like with a makingcurrent of 200 mA or higher) may deteriorate or damage theswitching element. In such a case, insert a relay between thesensor and the load.

Characteristics of MaterialEven when detecting the same material, the operating distancevaries depending on the object size, shape and other factors. Thefollowing table shows examples of different operating distanceswith different materials and different shapes in detection with acapacitive proximity sensor (operating distance varies with electriccharacteristics, such as conductivity and specific inductivecapacity, as well as water absorption and volume).

Influence of Amount of Water Droplets on the Detection PlaneThe following diagram shows measurements of changes in operating distance when water droplets adhere to the detection plane of acapacitive proximity sensor.When 0.2 ml of water droplets (2 to 3 droplets) adhere to the detection plane, the operating distance increases by approximately 20%. Whenwater droplets exceed the surface tension limit and start to flow out of the detection plane, the operating distance increases by 300% or more(except CS10-34CU-E).
