Hanyoung Nux UP30RD-15NA Non-Shielded 15mm Proximity Sensor

A non-shielded sensor, like the UP30RD-15NA, has an extended lateral sensing field, allowing it to detect metal targets approaching from the side of the sensor body. Shielded sensors have a metal ring around the sensing face that concentrates the field forward, allowing flush mounting in metal but reducing lateral detection. Choose non-shielded for side-sensing or when mounting in non-metallic materials.

The UP30RD-15NA is a DC 3-wire sensor. The 'RD' suffix in Hanyoung Nux nomenclature typically indicates a PNP (sourcing) output. It requires connection to a 12-24V DC power supply: brown wire to +V, blue wire to 0V, and the black wire is the switched PNP output signal to your PLC or controller input.

No. Inductive proximity sensors only detect conductive metals (ferrous and non-ferrous). They cannot detect insulating materials like plastic, wood, or glass. For non-metallic object detection, a capacitive proximity sensor would be required.

The setting distance is the recommended range for positioning the target relative to the sensor face for reliable operation. For this 15mm nominal sensor, you should adjust your mechanical setup so the target passes within 0-12mm of the sensing face. This ensures stable switching despite factors like supply voltage tolerance, temperature drift, and part tolerances.

Yes, the IP67 rating certifies that the sensor is protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for washdown areas, damp environments, and outdoor use where it may be exposed to rain, provided the electrical connections are properly sealed.
