Analog or Digital output?

ANALOG OUTPUT

Type-AP-Model

Our Analog Output sensors will produce a 1-volt output when there is no ferrous metal target present. As a target is brought closer to the sensor face, this analog voltage increases. The larger the target and the closer the target is to the face, the more the output increases. 

Select AP

DIGITAL + ANALOG OUTPUT

Type-DP-Model

Our Digital Output Sensors have an additional switched transistor digital output. When a target if brought close enough to the sensor face to cross a predetermined threshold, the digital output switches states. The digital trigger point is adjustable over a range.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 These Ferrous Metal Sensors have a magnet and a magnetic field sensing element at the sensor tip.  There is an internal PC board that zeros out the magnetic field at the sensing element when there is no ferrous metal within the magnet’s range. If a piece of ferrous metal (AKA Target) is brought into the magnet’s range, the field lines are attracted to it. The larger the target, and the closer the target is to the sensor face, the more the field lines are attracted to it. The internal PC board converts the increased magnetic attraction to an electrical output. This PC board requires a user-supplied DC power supply to work, any voltage from 8 to 30V DC.
