FAQ

The housing is made of high-grade stainless steel, making it robust and resistant to corrosion. It is well-suited for typical industrial environments, but for applications with aggressive chemicals or high-pressure washdowns, you should verify its IP rating and chemical compatibility.

The S49 code in Balluff's nomenclature specifies a 3-pin M8x1 male connector. This is a common standard for compact sensors, ensuring broad compatibility with standard industrial cables.

This sensor has a PNP (sourcing) output. To connect it to an NPN (sinking) PLC input, you would typically need to use a pull-down resistor between the signal line and ground (0V). However, it is always recommended to use a sensor with an output type that matches your PLC's input type for the most reliable operation.
