Compact Proximity Sensors
FEATURES
Compact Proximity Sensors Can be Installed Anywhere. Locking Boss Ensures Easy Mounting.
• This thin 5.9mm (side sensing type) sensor takes up little space. • 8mm wide, compact with a 2.5mm sensing range. • Locking boss allows easy mounting by single screw. Mounting bracket not
required. (locking boss type)
• Indicator lamp visible from all three directions allows easy checking of the
operating state.
• Wide variety of sensor types support all kinds of applications.

Note: Different-frequency types also available for all models. These types are appended with the letter ‘‘-F’’ is used. Example: Different-frequency type of APM-C3A1 is expressed as APM-C3A1F.
‘‘Different-frequency type’’ is a type having an oscillation frequency different to that of the standard type to reduce the influence of mutual interference. Select this type when mounting two or more proximity sensors close to each other.
