## **Product information Pinout** ~~SS~~ | ~~eS~~ 

The ML17 sensor family offers diverse connection and installation options, which means that it can adapt to the most varied automation tasks. In addition to the usual fitting method using M4 screws, these sensors can also be installed by means of M18 threaded insert. All devices are equipped with a green Power On display and a yellow function display. These displays are arranged in such a way that they are clearly visible from different directions.
