## Wiring diagram
## Functional principle
Inductive sensors detect metal objects contactless and wear-free. For this, they use a high-frequency electromagnetic AC field that interacts with the target. Inductive sensors generate this field via an RLC circuit with a ferrite coil.

## Instructions for use
|Instructions for use||
|---|---|
|Intended use|This device fulfills Directive 2014/34/EC and is suited for|
||use in areas exposed to explosion hazards according to EN|
||60079-0:2018 and EN 60079-11:2012.Further it is suited|
||for use in safety-related systems, including SIL2 as per IEC|
||61508.In order to ensure correct operation to the intended pur-|
||pose it is required to observe the national regulations and di-|
||rectives.|
|For use in explosion hazardous areas conform to classification|II 1 G and II 1 D (Group II, Category 1 G, electrical equipment|
||for gaseous atmospheres and category 1 D, electrical equip-|
||ment for dust atmospheres).|
|Marking (see device or technical data sheet)|Ex II 1 G and Ex ia IIC T6 Ga and Ex II 1 D Ex ia IIIC T135 °C|
||Da acc. to EN 60079-0, -11|
|Local admissible ambient temperature|-25…+70 °C|
|Installation/Commissioning|These devices may only be installed, connected and oper-|
||ated by trained and qualified staff. Qualified staff must have|
||knowledge of protection classes, directives and regulations|
||concerning electrical equipment designed for use in explosion|
||hazardous areas.Please verify that the classification and the|
||marking on the device comply with the actual application con-|
||ditions.|
||This device is only suited for connection to approved Exi cir-|
||cuits according to EN 60079-0 and EN 60079-11. Please ob-|
||serve the maximum admissible electrical values.After con-|
||nection to other circuits the sensor may no longer be used in|
||Exi installations. When interconnected to (associated) electri-|
||cal equipment, it is required to perform the "Proof of intrinsic|
||safety" (EN60079-14).Attention! When used in safety systems,|
||all content of the security manual must be observed.|
|Installation and mounting instructions|Avoid static charging of cables and plastic devices. Please|
||only clean the device with a damp cloth. Do not install the|
||device in a dust flow and avoid build-up of dust deposits on|
||the device.If the devices and the cable could be subject to|
||mechanical damage, they must be protected accordingly.|
||They must also be shielded against strong electro-magnetic|
||fields.The pin configuration and the electrical specifications|
||can be taken from the device marking or the technical data|
||sheet.|
|Service/Maintenance|Repairs are not possible. The approval expires if the device is|
||repaired or modified by a person other than the manufacturer.|
||The most important data from the approval are listed.|
