Carlo Gavazzi ICS18L50F08NCB2E1 - Inductive Proximity Sensor - Cylindrical Stainless Steel Housing Diameter 18mm - Thread Length of 50mm - Flush Mounting - Sensing Distance 8mm - NPN Output - Normally Closed - 2m PUR Cable - E1-Type Approved

Description
ICS E1 series is a complete family of high performance inductive sensors which represents Carlo Gavazzi standard solution for outdoor mobile applications.
Since they are installed on vehicles such as trucks or earth-moving equipments, they have to survive harsh environmental conditions, such as very high level of shock and vibrations, low and high temperature, high level radio frequency noise, and frequent washing cycles with liquid cleaners and degreasers to remove grease and oils.
This family is available in M12, M18 and M30 housings, with extended sensing ranges (2x), stainless steel housing and it is characterized by very high durability.

Benefits
• A complete family. Available in M12, M18 and M30 housings with an operating distance from 4 to 22 mm.
• Less machine downtime. Lower risk of mechanical damage thanks to the extended range sensors with 2 times the standard operating distance.
• E1-type approval by the German Federal Motor Transport Authority, assures the sensor complies with the automotive standards and is allowed to be mounted on vehicles.
• High EMC standards with immunity to false actuation when exposed to radiated noise with field strengths of up to 200 V/m and immunity to conducted RF noise of 10 V.
• Extended power supply range from 8 to 60 V DC, to allow reliable operation in mobile equipment, where the power source is often only a conventional vehicle battery, requiring a very low voltage in some particular situations.
• Load-dump protection protects the electronics against voltage peaks in the onboard power supply. These damaging voltage surges are typically generated when the alternator is charging the battery, supplying charging current, and the battery connection is lost, generally due to corrosion or poor connection.
• Easy to install. ICS12 and ICS18 sensors have a milled section for wrench grip. The LED also indicates when there is a short circuit or overload condition. The user can choose between 2 m PUR cable and M12-plug versions.
• High precision. The onboard advanced microcontroller ensures better stability with respect to environmental influences, with highly repeatable measurements between -40 and +85°C (-40 and +185°F).
• Easy customization to specific OEM requests such as pigtail solutions with special cables and connectors used in mobile equipments are possible on request.
• Product traceability. Permanently legible part number and serial number, laser engraved on the plastic cap, guarantee the traceability of every sensor.

Applications
• Trucks, earth-moving equipments, agriculture machines, mobile cranes, buses.

Main functions
• Non contact detection of metal objects in general position-sensing and presence-sensing in mobile equipment applications
• Integrated diagnostic function with flashing LED in the event of a short circuit or overload
