Designed for harsh industrial and mobile operating conditions
The IES247 uses an M8 × 1 threaded cylindrical housing with a length of 27.5 mm. Unlike flush-mountable sensors, this model is designed for non-flush mounting, allowing the sensing face to extend beyond the mounting surface when installed. The housing is manufactured from stainless steel 316L / 1.4404, providing strong resistance to demanding industrial operating conditions.
The sensor uses an LCP sensing face and PEI LED window, while the supplied lock nuts are also manufactured from stainless steel 316L / 1.4404. This construction provides a robust package for industrial machinery and harsh environments.
The IES247 provides a nominal sensing range of 6 mm, with a real sensing range of 6 mm ±10%. Its specified operating distance is 0 to 4.86 mm.
The larger sensing range allows reliable detection of metallic targets while maintaining practical installation flexibility. The sensor's correction factor varies according to target material, with steel used as the reference material.
The IES247 operates from 10 to 30 V DC and uses a normally-open switching output. The permanent current rating of the switching output is 100 mA, while the minimum load current is 2 mA.
The sensor provides a switching frequency of up to 800 Hz, making it suitable for automated machinery requiring frequent and repeatable metallic object detection. Reverse-polarity, short-circuit and overload protection help support reliable integration into industrial control systems.
The IES247 is supplied with a 2 m PUR cable with a diameter of approximately 2.9 mm. The cable contains two 0.14 mm² conductors and provides a direct connection solution for industrial control and automation equipment.
The PUR cable construction is well suited to industrial machinery where durability and flexibility are important considerations.
The IES247 is designed for harsh operating conditions and carries IP65, IP66, IP67, IP68 and IP69K protection ratings. It operates across a wide ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.
Its high protection rating and stainless-steel construction make it suitable for applications exposed to dust, moisture, cleaning processes and other demanding industrial conditions.
IFM specifically identifies the IES247 for industrial, mobile, cooling and lubricating applications, as well as factory automation and harsh mobile applications.
The IES247 is suitable for metallic object detection, machine position monitoring, automated production equipment, factory automation systems and mobile machinery.
Its 6 mm sensing range provides additional installation tolerance compared with shorter-range compact sensors. The 800 Hz switching frequency supports rapid detection during automated machine cycles.
Typical applications include monitoring the presence of metallic components, detecting machine positions, counting metal parts, monitoring moving machine elements and detecting components in automated production processes.
