Pro-Range CRJ-A30-15APA Capacitive Proximity Sensor PNP M30 Thread 15mm Detection

The CRJ-A30-15APA model features a PNP (sourcing) output. This means the output switch connects the signal line to the positive supply voltage when activated. PNP outputs are commonly used with PLCs that have a common negative (sinking) input. Ensure your controller's input type is compatible with a sourcing signal.

Yes. While capacitive sensors are particularly effective for non-metallic materials like plastics, glass, and liquids, they can also detect metallic objects. The sensing distance may vary based on the target material's dielectric constant. Use the built-in sensitivity adjustment to optimize detection for different materials.

This sensor operates on a DC supply voltage range of 10 to 30 VDC. The maximum continuous output current is 200 mA. It is protected against reverse polarity connection and output short-circuits, safeguarding both the sensor and your control system from wiring errors.

Mount the sensor using its standard M30 x 1.5mm metric thread into a drilled and tapped hole. Ensure the sensing face is unobstructed. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the sensitivity potentiometer located on the rear of the unit. Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity (longer range) and counter-clockwise to decrease it, minimizing false triggers.
