How to Use

1. Mounting
   Thread the M18 body into the mounting bracket or surface and secure with the included nut.

2. Wiring Configuration

   • Use a two-wire connection: polarly insensitive (can work with either orientation)

   • When metallic target enters the 8 mm sensing range, the sensor switches its output state (circuit completes) FotekRadwell International.

3. Detection Operation
   On detection of a metal object, the sensor output changes state (typically drives load), and resumes idle when the target is removed.

4. Helpful Tips

   • Ensure targets are within 8 mm for optimal detection.

   • Avoid using non-ferrous metals—they reduce sensitivity.

   • Although polarity-protected, follow wiring guidelines to ensure consistent operation.

   • Regularly clean the sensing face to maintain detection reliability in dusty or oily environments.
