✅ Confirmed Compatibility
Please note that the following list is not exhaustive. Compatibility depends on your system’s specific configuration. It’s essential to verify compatibility with your system or enclosure manufacturer prior to installation.
✔ Control circuits: DC 2-wire proximity input 12–24 VDC
✔ Mounting: M8 shielded flush locations with sufficient clearance for a 1.6 mm set distance
✔ Targets: Ferromagnetic metals; non-ferrous metals detect at reduced ranges
☑️ Key Features
- ☑️ M8 shielded body enables true flush mounting in metal fixtures
- ☑️ 1.6 mm stable detection range with built-in status LED for setup
- ☑️ DC 2-wire NO simplifies series wiring with loads and PLC inputs
- ☑️ 1.2 kHz fast response for high-speed part sensing
- ☑️ IP67 sealed construction with durable stainless barrel

⚙️ Fit Notes
- Set distance to ≤ 1.6 mm on a standard iron target; reduce setpoint for smaller or non-ferrous targets.
- Observe DC 2-wire wiring polarity and minimum load requirements; protect against short circuits.
- Use shielded mounting hardware and avoid adjacent sensors closer than the manufacturer’s recommended separation to prevent mutual interference.
- Verify the label on your existing sensor reads GX-8MU before ordering.
