The I27003 is designed for long-range detection of metallic objects where standard compact proximity sensors may not provide sufficient sensing distance. Its adjustable 30–120 mm sensing range allows the sensor to detect large metal components, machine parts and moving metallic objects from a greater distance.
The integrated potentiometer allows the detection range to be adjusted according to the installation requirements. The factory setting is 120 mm, while the range can be reduced when a shorter detection distance is required.
The PNP normally-open output provides a switching signal to compatible PLCs, industrial controllers and automation equipment. With a permanent switching current of up to 250 mA, the sensor is suitable for compatible industrial control circuits within its specified electrical limits.
The I27003 features a large Ø164 mm cylindrical housing with a 63 mm length and is designed for non-flush mounting. The supplied mounting plate provides a practical installation arrangement for long-range area detection and applications involving large metallic targets.
The sensor housing is manufactured from PBT, while the mounting plate is made from aluminium. The sensor is supplied with a 2 m PVC cable containing 3 × 0.5 mm² conductors, providing a pre-wired connection for industrial installations.
A yellow switching-status LED provides visual indication of the sensor output state, supporting installation, commissioning and maintenance.
The I27003 provides IP65 protection and operates within an ambient temperature range of -20 °C to +70 °C, making it suitable for a variety of industrial environments.
