Installation Hints
Relief of cable strain Protection of the sensing face Switch mounted on mobile carrierTo avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch pow-
er cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables Incorrect
Correct
The cable should not be pulled A proximity switch should not serve as
mechanical stop
Any repetitive flexing of the
cable should be avoided
