Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What is the sensing head material?
A: Hardened stainless steel rated IP67 for corrosion and abrasion resistance.

Q: Can the PR6424 operate at high temperatures?
A: Yes, from –25 °C up to +120 °C without performance loss.

Q: How fast can it measure dynamic movements?
A: Its 10 kHz bandwidth supports dynamic events up to approximately 5 kHz.

Q: Does it require calibration?
A: Units are factory calibrated; periodic on-site verification is recommended for precision tasks.

Q: What cable connector standard does it use?
A: An M12 × 1 male, 4-pin connector for power and output wiring.

Q: Is there an alternative output type?
A: Yes, the PR6424/010-200 variant offers a 4–20 mA output option.

Q: How is temperature drift managed?
A: Tight thermal compensation limits drift to ≤ 0.02 % FS per °C.

Q: Can this sensor detect non-ferrous metals?
A: Eddy current principle requires conductive targets; non-ferrous metals are detected but calibration differs.

Q: What mounting options are available?
A: Standard M18 thread and optional flange or right-angle mounting adapters.

Q: How do I integrate into my control system?
A: Simply wire 18–30 V DC to power pins, take the 0–10 V output into your data acquisition or PLC analog input.
