Festo Pneumatic Cylinder Sensor, 10 → 30V, 8059122

Need an object detection solution for your industrial workplace? Stay on track with this proximity sensor from Festo. It works via the Hall effect, using an electromagnet that measures the changing voltage of an electromagnetic field so no metallic or non-metallic object passes by undetected. As this means it operates without any contact, it's practical when you're dealing with delicate or dangerous materials, as well as in situations where low maintenance is essential. This unit's IP68 rating means it's totally dustproof, resists low-pressure jets of water and withstands submersion in up to 1m of liquid for 30 mins, so you can put it to the test in a tough spot.

• LEDs provide status indication for easy troubleshooting

No. This proximity sensor's Hall effect operation means it needs no switch-point configuration when you're setting it up. Its integral magnet simply responds intuitively to the electromagnetic field surrounding it.
