THIN PROFILE CAPACITIVE LEVEL Sensor PNP

SICK Series CQ Proximity Sensor, 10mm Maximum Detection, IP68 - CQ28-10NPP-KW1

This proximity sensor detects metallic targets without contact and is designed for industrial automation environments. It is a Compact rectangular, non-flush device with a PNP switching output and a pre-attached cable, intended for straightforward integration into sensing and control systems where reliable object detection is required.

Features and Benefits:

• 10mm sensing range for consistent target detection
  IP68 protection enabling operation in wet conditions
  30V DC supply compatibility supporting common control voltages
  200 mA switching current to drive load devices directly
  10 Hz maximum switching frequency suitable for moderate-speed cycles
  Operates from -20 to 85 °C for varied environmental use

Applications

• Suitable for end-of-travel detection on actuator shafts
  Ideal for conveyor jam or presence monitoring in production lines
  Used with machine control panels for position feedback
  Can be used for component detection in assembly automation
  Used for equipment condition checks in harsh surroundings

What material is the enclosure MADE from and why does that matter?

The housing is manufactured from PBT plastic which provides chemical resistance and mechanical robustness for industrial settings.

How is the device mounted and what mounting style does it follow?

It uses a non-flush mounting arrangement allowing detection from slightly separated positions without edge-mounting constraints.

What electrical connection method is provided?

A pre-cabled Terminal is fitted to the unit to simplify installation and reduce the need for additional connectors.

What approvals does the sensor carry for use in commercial equipment?

It holds CE and cULus approvals relevant to conformity and North American recognition for electrical products.

Is the sensor electrically shielded to prevent interference?

The device is unshielded, making it best suited where mutual interference with nearby sensors is managed by installation spacing.
