FAQ

What does "flush mountable" mean for this BES03U2 sensor?

Flush mountable means the sensing face of the BES03U2 can be installed level with the surrounding metal mounting surface without affecting its performance. This is ideal for applications where the sensor needs to be embedded or protected.

A PNP (sourcing) output sensor is commonly used in control systems with PLC inputs that sink current, which is the standard in Europe and many other regions. It sources a positive voltage to the load (e.g., a PLC input) when an object is detected, making it compatible with a wide range of industrial controllers.

The Balluff BES Q08MEC-PSC20B-EP02 has an IP67 rating according to its datasheet. The '6' indicates it is completely dust-tight, and the '7' signifies it is protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes, ensuring high reliability in harsh industrial environments.
