FAQ

What is the difference between a flush and non-flush mountable sensor like the IGT205?

A non-flush mountable sensor, like the IGT205, has an extended sensing face that must protrude from the mounting surface. This design creates a larger magnetic field, resulting in a significantly longer sensing range compared to a flush-mountable sensor of the same size. However, it requires a metal-free zone around the sensing head.

What does the PNP NO output on the IGT205 mean for wiring?

PNP means the sensor is a “sourcing” type, providing a positive voltage output when an object is detected. NO stands for “Normally Open,” which means the switch is open (no voltage output) when no object is present and closes (outputs a positive voltage) upon detection. You would typically connect the load between the output wire and ground (0V).

Is the IGT205 susceptible to interference from other sensors or magnetic fields?

The IGT205 is designed for industrial use and has good immunity to electromagnetic interference. However, mounting multiple inductive sensors very close to each other can cause mutual interference or cross-talk. It is recommended to maintain the minimum spacing specified in the manufacturer’s datasheet to ensure reliable operation.
