FAQ

What is the output type of the 3RG7012-7AB01-PF sensor?

The label indicates a standard PNP (sourcing) output configuration. The output on pin 4 (Black) switches the positive voltage (L+) to the connected load when an object is detected.

Background suppression allows the sensor to reliably detect objects at a set distance while ignoring any objects or surfaces in the background, even if those background objects are more reflective than the target.

Yes, the pinout (Pin 1: L+, Pin 3: L-, Pin 4: Output) is a common, standard configuration for 3-wire DC sensors with M8 or M12 connectors, ensuring broad compatibility.
