Heschen M18 Capacitive Proximity Sensor Non-Shield NC 10mm 90-250VAC

Description

Product Overview

The Heschen M18 capacitive proximity sensor is engineered for precision detection in demanding industrial environments. Its non‑shield design and normally closed (NC) output provide reliable signal integrity, reducing false triggers caused by electromagnetic interference. The sensor detects any dielectric material within a 10mm range, making it versatile for applications such as level monitoring, object detection, and safety interlocks. Operating across a broad voltage spectrum of 90‑250VAC and supporting up to 300mA of current, it integrates seamlessly with existing control systems without the need for additional power conversion hardware. The robust housing, measured at 4.17 x 2.99 x 1.1 inches and weighing just 4.23 ounces, ensures durability while maintaining a compact footprint suitable for tight installation spaces. The 18mm mounting hole simplifies mechanical integration, and the sensor’s design complies with IEC standards for industrial safety and performance.

Usage

Designed for a wide range of industrial scenarios, this sensor excels in automated manufacturing lines where precise object detection is critical. It can be employed on conveyor belts to monitor the presence of non‑metallic items, ensuring proper sequencing and preventing jams. In water treatment facilities, the sensor reliably detects the level of liquids in non‑conductive tanks, providing real‑time data for pump control. Its ability to sense dielectric objects makes it ideal for packaging applications, where it can verify the placement of plastic components before sealing. The sensor’s wide voltage tolerance allows it to operate in environments with fluctuating power supplies, such as outdoor installations or facilities with legacy equipment. Maintenance personnel benefit from the straightforward wiring—just two wires are required for power and signal—reducing installation time and minimizing potential wiring errors.

FAQ

What types of materials can the sensor detect?

The sensor is designed to detect any dielectric (non‑conductive) material, including plastics, liquids, and composites, within its 10mm detection range.

Can the sensor be used with low‑voltage DC power supplies?

No. The sensor is specified for AC voltage operation between 90 and 250VAC and is not compatible with DC power sources.

Is the sensor suitable for outdoor installations?

Yes, the sensor’s robust housing and wide voltage tolerance make it suitable for outdoor environments, provided it is protected from direct exposure to water and extreme weather.

How does the normally closed (NC) output benefit my control system?

A normally closed output maintains a closed circuit when the target is not detected, which helps prevent false triggering and simplifies integration with safety‑critical PLC logic.

What is the recommended mounting method?

Mount the sensor using the 18mm diameter hole provided. Ensure the sensor face is oriented toward the target area for optimal detection performance.
