The I22008 is designed for long-distance detection of metallic objects where standard short-range proximity sensors may not provide sufficient sensing distance. Its adjustable 30–120 mm detection range makes it suitable for detecting large metal components, machine parts and moving metallic objects from a greater distance.
The integrated potentiometer allows the sensing range to be adjusted according to the application. The factory setting is 120 mm, while the real sensing range is specified as 120 ± 10% mm. This provides flexibility when the sensor is installed at different distances from the target.
The sensor uses a normally-open AC switching output. The continuous switching current is specified as 250 mA at temperatures up to 50 °C and 200 mA at temperatures up to 70 °C. A peak current of 1.5 A for 10 ms at 0.5 Hz is also specified.
The I22008 features a large Ø164 mm cylindrical housing with a 68 mm length and is supplied with a mounting plate. Its non-flush mounting arrangement is intended for long-range sensing applications involving large metallic targets.
The housing is manufactured from PBT, while the mounting plate is made from anodised aluminium. The sensor uses a 7/8" connector for electrical connection to compatible industrial cabling and control equipment.
A yellow LED provides switching-status indication, helping operators and maintenance personnel identify the sensor's operating state during installation, commissioning and troubleshooting.
The I22008 provides IP65 protection and operates over an ambient temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C, supporting use in a range of industrial environments.
The I22008 is suitable for Industrial Automation UAE applications requiring long-range detection of metallic objects.
