Pro-Range CZJ-A30M-16ANA NPN M30 Inductive Proximity Sensor - 16mm Detection Distance

This 3-wire sensor follows the standard industrial color code: Brown wire connects to the positive DC supply voltage (10-30V), Blue wire connects to the DC common or ground (0V), and the Black wire is the NPN switched output signal. When a metal target is detected, the black output wire switches to ground (sinks current), compatible with PLC digital input modules configured for sinking (NPN) inputs.

No. This is an inductive proximity sensor, which operates by generating an electromagnetic field. It can only detect the presence of conductive metals (both ferrous and non-ferrous) that disrupt this field. For non-metallic object detection, a capacitive proximity sensor or photoelectric sensor would be the appropriate choice.

The 16mm rating is the 'nominal' sensing distance (Sn) under ideal conditions with a standard target (usually a 1mm thick square of mild steel). The effective operating distance can vary based on target material, size, shape, and environmental factors. A built-in potentiometer allows for sensitivity adjustment to fine-tune the actual switching point for your specific application and target.

Yes, the sensor features a metal housing with an IP67 protection rating, meaning it is dust-tight and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This makes it suitable for washdown areas, outdoor installations, and other environments exposed to dust, splashing water, or temporary flooding.
