Frequently Asked Questions - IGS710 IFM

How do I wire the IGS710 sensor?

Connect the brown wire to positive (+), blue wire to negative (-), and black wire to the signal input (PNP normally open). Do not reverse polarity.

What does the yellow LED indicate?

The yellow LED lights up when the sensor detects a target within its sensing range and the output is active.

Can the IGS710 detect aluminum?

Yes, it can detect non-ferrous metals like aluminum, but the sensing range may be slightly reduced compared to steel.

What is the maximum sensing distance?

The rated sensing distance is 4 mm for a standard target. The actual distance depends on target material and size.

How do I clean the sensor?

Wipe the housing with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the housing.

Can the sensor be mounted flush in metal?

Yes, the IGS710 is designed for flush mounting in metal without significant derating.

What is the operating temperature range?

The sensor operates reliably from -25°C to +70°C.

Does the sensor have short-circuit protection?

Yes, it features built-in short-circuit protection.

What type of connector does it use?

It uses a M12 male connector with 4 pins. A mating cable is required.

How can I test if the sensor is working?

Apply power (10-36 V DC) and bring a metal object near the sensing face. The yellow LED should turn on, and the output should switch.
