Design This proximity switch consists of a sensor, a mounting kit and a cable. The cable is
fitted with a plug socket and three safety connector plugs.
Function The proximity switch outputs an electrical signal when it enters a magnetic field (e.g.
the field of the permanent magnet fitted to the piston of the cylinder). The electrical
connections are moulded into the switch. The switching status is shown by an LED.
This yellow LED lights when the switch is actuated.

Note In order to obtain correct switch operation, ensure that the polarity of the voltages
applied to the switch is correct. The cores of the socket cable are colour-coded: blue
(BU) for negative, red (BN) for positive and black (BK) for the signal output. The load
(relay) is connected to this and to the negative terminal. The switch is protected
against incorrect polarity, however not against short-circuiting.
Switching voltage 10 – 30 V DC
