    The document summarizes a capacitive proximity sensor. It contains 9 labeled parts including an oscillator, demodulator, and output stage. It functions by evaluating capacity changes in an RC resonant circuit when materials approach. When capacity increases, the change in oscillation is detected. It has a PNP output that switches the signal line to positive when activated. A yellow LED indicates switching status. It is protected against overloads and has connections color coded for polarity and output.

    Design
    The capacitive proximity sensor with LED and electrical connections is assembled on a
    polymer assembly base. The electrical connection is effected by means of safety con-
    nectors or via a 3-pin plug socket. The unit is mounted on the profile plate via a quick
    release detent system with blue triple grip nut (mounting alternative “B”).

    Function
    The operational principle of a capacitive sensor is based on the evaluation of the capa-
    city change of a capacitor in a RC resonant circuit.
    When a material approaches the proximity sensor, the capacity of the capacitor is sti-
    mulated (increased), whereby the change in the oscillatory characteristics of the RC
    circuit can be evaluated. The capacity change largely depends on the distance, size
    and dielectric constant of the material used.
    The proximity sensor has a PNP output, i.e. the signal line is switched to a positive
    potential in the switched status. The switch is designed as a normally open contact. The
    connection of the load takes place between the signal output of the proximity sensor
    and the load. A yellow LED indicates the switching status. The sensor is protected
    against polarity reversal, overload and short circuit.

    Note
    The correct polarity of the applied voltage is to be observed for proper functioning. The
    connections for the operating voltage are colour coded as follows, red for positive, blue
    for negative and black for the signal output. The load is connected to the switching
    output and linked to the negative terminal of the current supply.
