Pro-Range CLJ-A30-15ANB Inductive Proximity Sensor, 15mm Detection Distance, PNP Output, M30 Thread

The sensor typically operates on a 10-30V DC supply. It is crucial to connect the brown wire to DC+ and the blue wire to DC- (0V). The black wire is the PNP output, which switches to supply voltage (sourcing) when a metal target is detected within the 15mm range.

No. This is an inductive proximity sensor, which only detects conductive metals such as steel, aluminum, brass, or copper. It will not respond to plastic, wood, glass, or any other non-conductive materials. For non-metallic objects, a capacitive proximity sensor would be required.

Mount the sensor using its standard M30 x 1.5 metric threads. Ensure the sensing face is properly aligned with the target path. For flush-mountable versions, the sensor can be recessed into a metal bracket; for non-flush types, you must maintain a clear area around the sensing face as specified in the datasheet to avoid reduced sensing distance.

This CLJ-A30-15ANB model has a PNP (sourcing) output. When activated, the output switch connects the signal wire (black) to the positive supply voltage. An NPN (sinking) output would connect the signal to ground. Always verify your PLC or controller input type (sinking or sourcing) to ensure compatibility with the sensor's output.
