IFM KI5001 Capacitive Sensor

Product overview

The ifm KI5001 (KI-3015-APKG/NI) is a capacitive proximity sensor in an M30 x 1.5 threaded housing 81 mm long, for non-flush mounting. Its rated sensing range is 15 mm, adjustable, with a factory setting of 15 mm. The real sensing range is 15 mm ± 10% and the operating distance is 0…12.1 mm. ifm gives correction factors of 0.4 for glass, 1 for water, 0.2 for ceramics and 0.2 for PVC. The PNP switching output is normally closed, rated at 250 mA and up to 40 Hz on 10…36 V DC, with reverse polarity protection. ifm specifies increased immunity to conducted radio frequency interference. The sensor has a PBT housing, connects through a 2 m PVC cable with 3 x 0.5 mm² conductors and is rated IP65 for -25…70 °C ambient. Supplied with two lock nuts.
