Explore performance details, construction highlights, applications, and technical information in one clear overview.
The IE5399 IEB3002BBPKG/V4A/8M inductive sensor by IFM is engineered for precise and reliable non-contact detection of metallic objects in industrial automation, machinery, production equipment and factory-control applications. Its compact construction, stainless-steel housing and extended 8 m PUR cable make it a practical sensing solution for installations requiring dependable signal transmission and robust mechanical performance.
The sensor uses inductive proximity sensing technology to detect metallic targets without physical contact. When a suitable metal object enters the sensing area, the sensor changes its switching output, allowing a connected PLC, controller or automation system to monitor object presence, position or movement.
The IE5399 provides a 2 mm sensing range, with a real sensing range of 2 ± 10% mm and an operating distance of 0–1.62 mm. This makes it suitable for close-range metal detection tasks where consistent and repeatable switching is required.
The sensor features a DC PNP electrical design with a normally-open output. It operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and provides a high switching frequency of up to 1500 Hz, supporting fast and repetitive detection in automated machinery and production systems.

Its particularly short housing helps simplify sensor positioning in compact machine structures and equipment.
The housing is manufactured from stainless steel, while the sensing face is made from LCP. This construction provides a robust mechanical design suitable for industrial applications where the sensor may be exposed to demanding operating conditions.
The sensor is flush mountable, allowing it to be installed neatly into suitable metal machine structures while maintaining the required sensing performance.
The IE5399 detects metallic objects through inductive sensing without requiring physical contact with the target. This makes it suitable for repeated detection tasks involving machine components, workpieces, fixtures and moving metal parts.
Its 2 mm sensing range provides close-range detection, while the specified correction factors allow the sensor to be considered for different metallic target materials.
Steel: 1
Stainless steel: approximately 0.7
Brass: approximately 0.5
Aluminium: approximately 0.4
Copper: approximately 0.3
These correction factors should be considered when selecting the sensor for applications involving different target materials.
The IE5399 uses a PNP normally-open switching output, making it suitable for compatible PLCs and industrial control systems.
When a suitable metallic target enters the sensing zone, the sensor switches its output and provides a detection signal to the connected automation controller.
This configuration can be used for:
Metal object detection
Machine position sensing
Component presence detection
Conveyor monitoring
Automated counting
Production-line monitoring
Machine status feedback
With a switching frequency of up to 1500 Hz, the IE5399 is suitable for fast and repetitive sensing operations. This allows the sensor to detect rapidly moving metallic targets in suitable industrial automation applications.
The high switching capability can be useful in production machinery, material handling systems, automated assembly equipment and high-speed detection points.
The IE5399 is supplied with an 8 m PUR cable, providing additional flexibility when the sensor must be installed at a greater distance from the control cabinet or automation controller.
The cable construction is 3 × 0.14 mm², with black, brown and blue conductors for connection to the compatible control system.
The IE5399 can be incorporated into Industrial Automation UAE applications where reliable metal detection and machine feedback are required.
