Why choose this product?

• There is a specifically designated model TL-W5MF2 with a clearly distinguished PNP NC output type.
• Known mechanical dimensions facilitate mounting design and replacement with the same sensor format.
• The induction principle is suitable for detecting metal objects without mechanical wear of the contacts.
• The power supply in the range of DC 10–30 V corresponds to common industrial control circuits.

Installation and operating instructions

• Install the sensor so that only the desired metal objects are in the detection zone.
• When installing, ensure mechanical fastening through both mounting holes.
• Before wiring, verify the correct control system input type and corresponding PNP NC logic.
• Connect the wires according to the product diagram and with the power supply disconnected.

Safety notice

• Incorrect connection of the power supply or load may lead to damage to the sensor or downstream electronics.
• Carry out assembly and electrical connections with the power switched off.
• The product is an electrical component intended for professional installation.
• Do not use the sensor outside the specified power supply and load range.
