The Autonics PR30-10AO features a flush-mounted Cylindrical housing and delivers a precise 10mm sensing distance optimized for 30Γ30Γ1mm iron targets. Operating on an AC 2-wire system (100β240VAC), it provides a Normally Open control output and includes reinforced electrical insulation for safety. This model offers a response frequency of 20Hz, making it suitable for moderate-speed industrial processes. It handles electrical loads efficiently with a leakage current of 2.5mA and residual voltage up to 10V, maintaining signal clarity in high-voltage conditions.
Built with a durable nickel-plated brass housing and IP67-rated protection, the PR30-10AO withstands dust, oil, and temporary water exposure. It is engineered to perform in tough factory environments with temperature ranges between -25Β°C and 70Β°C and high humidity up to 95% RH. The flush-mount installation style reduces interference from nearby structures and allows for secure integration into metallic enclosures. Electrical safety is enhanced with double insulation (1kV dielectric strength) between input and power terminals. Weighing around 207g, the sensor is well-balanced for both panel and field installations. As part of the trusted Autonics Proximity Sensors family, it is a go-to choice for high-voltage sensing requirements.
