Wide Model Variety

Models ranging from extremely

compact type to long sensing range

type are available to suit various

applications.

Inflection Resistant Cable Type

The inflection resistance of its cable is

ten times that of the conventional

model. The sensor can be mounted

on a moving table or a robot arm.

Versatile Mounting

Since the sensor is fingertip size, it can

be mounted in a tight space.

Reduced Wiring Operation

The wiring cost of the DC 2-wire type

is 2/3 that of a conventional model.

Besides, the possibility of miswiring is

reduced.

Particularly convenient when many

sensors are used.

Wiring of the

3-wire type is

cumbersome.

Wiring of the

2-wire type is

simple and neat.

Symbols ... ZD: Surge absorption zener diode

Tr: PNP output transistor

Conditions for the load

1) The load should not be actuated by the leakage current (0.8mA) in the

OFF state.

2) The load should be actuated by (supply voltageⳮ3V) in the ON state.

3) The current in the ON state should be between 3 to 70mADC.

In case the current is less than 3mA, connect a bleeder resistance

in parallel to the load so that a current of 3mA, or more, flows.

Note: The maximum load current varies depending on the ambient

temperature.

Note: The GXL-15FLU type should be mounted on an insulator or a non-

magnetic body. To mount it on a magnetic body, such as iron, use the

enclosed aluminum sheet.

Note: When GXL-15HLU/GXL-15HL type is mounted on an insulator or a

non-magnetic body, or seated on the enclosed aluminum sheet, the

distance ‘F’ can be zero.

To mount the sensor with the

optional sensor mounting bracket

MS-GXL15, the thru-hole

diameter should be "3.4mm.

•Screw, nut or washers are not

supplied. Please arrange them

separately.

•

To mount the long sensing range

GXL-15 type on a magnetic body,

such as iron, the enclosed alu-

minum sheet, or any other

aluminum sheet having a mini-

mum size of 30⳯39.5⳯ t0.3mm

(

GXL-15HLU䡺/ GXL-15HL䡺:

30⳯30⳯t0.3 mm), should be

inserted between the sensor and

the magnetic body.

However, it is not necessary to use

the aluminum sheet when

mounting on a non-magnetic body,

such as, aluminum or an insulator .

•

When mounting the inductive

proximity sensor with the optional

sensor mounting bracket

MS-GXL15-2, if the bracket is

mounted close to the sensing part,

the bracket itself gets sensed and

the operation becomes unstable.

Make sure to mount such that the

mounting holes of the sensor and

those of the mounting bracket are

in one horizontal straight line.

Notes: 1)

‘I’ in the model No. specifies the different frequency type.

Notes: 2) Close mounting is possible for up to two sensors.

When mounting three sensors or more, at an equal spacing, in a

row, the minimum value of dimension H should be as given below.

GXL-8 type: 2mm, GXL-N12 type: 4mm

Sensing range

•The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing

object. With a non-ferrous metal, the sensing range is

obtained by multiplying with the correction coefficient

specified below. Further, the sensing range also changes

if the sensing object is plated.

Correction coefficient •The residual voltage of the sensor is 3V. Before connect-

ing a relay at the load, take care of its actuation voltage.

(Some 12V relays may not be usable.)

Others

•Do not use during the initial transient time (50ms) after the

power supply is switched on.

•The output is not incorporated with a short-circuit

protection circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power

supply or a capacitive load (excluding the DC 2-wire type).

2-color indicator (Normally open type only)

•When the sensing object is in the stable sensing range,

the LED lights up in green, and when the sensing object is

in the unstable sensing range, the LED lights up in red.

While the LED lights up in green, the sensing is performed

stably without being affected by temperature drifts or

voltage fluctuations.

Soldering

•To solder the terminals of the sensor, observe the fol-

lowing conditions.

Soldering temperature: 260⬚C or less

Soldering time : 5 sec. or less

Soldering position : 1.5mm, or more,

away from the

sensor body.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE Refer to P.836lfor general precautions.

Mutual interference prevention

•When two or more sensors are installed in parallel or face

to face, keep the minimum separation distance specified

below to avoid mutual interference.

•For series connection (AND circuit) or parallel connection

(OR circuit) of sensors, take care of the following.

Wiring

•The sensor must be connected to a power supply via a

load. If the sensor is connected to a power supply without

a load, the short-circuit protection makes the sensor inop-

erable. (The output stays in the OFF state and the indica-

tor does not light up.) In this case, rectify by connecting

the power supply via a load. Now, the sensor becomes

operable. Further, take care that if the power supply is

connected with reverse polarity without a load, the sensor

will get damaged.
