IFM IM0054 Installation guide

  • Hello! I'm a chat assistant that has analyzed the Installation instructions for the ifm Inductive sensor model IMC 11489153. This document details the installation, operation, and maintenance that you should follow for the sensor. It also describes the key features of the sensor, such as non-contact metal detection and the use of LED indicators for status monitoring. Please ask me any questions you have about the sensor and I will do my best to answer them based on the provided document.
  • What does the green LED indicate?
    What does the red (or yellow) LED indicate?
    What should I do to ensure perfect functioning?

Function and features
This sensor detects metals without contact and indicates their presence by
providing a switched signal. Nominal sensing range (Sn) see type lable; operating
distance (Sa) 0...0,81 x Sn (Values based on standard measurement with mild
steel; a shorter sensing range for other metals).
Installation
Screw the sensor to a firm base. If there is high mechanical stress, ensure that it
cannot work loose. Flush mountable (fig. 1 and 2). When mounted in metal, the
metal must not protrude over the sensing face.
Open space around the sensing face when mounted in metal: fig. 3.
Minimum distance when several sensors of the same type are mounted: fig. 4
and 5.

Electrical connection
Disconnect power before connecting the sensor.
Note: insert a miniature fuse according to the technical data sheet, if specified.
Recommendation: check the unit for reliable function after a short cirucit.
Operation
Check the safe functioning of the sensor.
The green LED is lit when the supply voltage is applied.
The red (yellow) LED is lit when the output is switched.
The operation of the sensor is maintenance-free. For perfect functioning make
sure that:
the sensing face and the open space are kept free of metal deposits and
foreign bodies, particularly for installation with the sensing face facing upwards;
EMC: The unit conforms to the requirements of EN 60947-5-2.
