FAQ

Question?

What does "semi-flush" mounting mean for the I30H008 sensor?

Semi-flush (or quasi-flush) mounting means the sensor can be partially embedded into a metal surface without significantly affecting its sensing distance. For the I30H008, the datasheet specifies the exact mounting conditions, allowing for a more compact installation than a purely non-flush sensor while offering a better range than a flush-mountable one. Always refer to the manufacturer's mounting guidelines for optimal performance.

Is the PNP output of this sensor a Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) type?

The Wenglor I30H008 features a PNP Normally Open (NO) switching output. This means the output is switched ON (conducts current) when a metal object is detected within its 22mm sensing range and is OFF when no object is present.

Can this sensor be used to detect non-ferrous metals like aluminum or brass?

Yes, the I30H008 can detect non-ferrous metals, but its switching distance will be reduced. Inductive sensors work best with ferrous metals like steel. For other metals, a correction factor applies. For example, the Wenglor datasheet specifies a correction factor of approximately 0.34 for aluminum, meaning the effective sensing distance for an aluminum target would be around 7.48mm.
