Induction loop position switch IPS-003

Specifications An inductive proximity switch consists of 4 main components: coil, oscillator, detection circuit and solid state switching device. The oscillator creates a high frequency field that is emitted from the sensing face. When a metal target enters that field, eddy currents are induced in the metal target (hence the term INDUCTIVE). Energy is required from the oscillator to maintain the eddy currents in the target. As the target enters the sensing range of the sensor, the energy required becomes too great for the oscillator, and it stops. The detection circuit senses this and signals the switch to change state. After the metal target leaves the sensing range, the oscillator resumes functioning, and the switch returns to its normal state (either Normally Open or Normally Closed).
