Frequently Asked Questions - IGS708 IFM
What is the sensing range of the IFM IGS708?
The sensing range of the IFM IGS708 is 8 mm in a non-flush mounting configuration. This allows reliable detection of metallic objects within this distance.
How do I connect the IGS708 sensor?
The IGS708 features a M12 connector with 4 pins. Connect the supply voltage (10...30 V DC) and the output line according to the pinout diagram. Ensure correct polarity to avoid damage.
Can the IGS708 be used in safety applications?
Yes, the IGS708 is designed as a safety inductive sensor and complies with EN ISO 13849-1. It is suitable for position monitoring in safety circuits with appropriate control systems.
How do I test if the sensor is working correctly?
To test the sensor, apply power and bring a metal target within the sensing range. The output should switch according to its configured NO/NC logic. Use a multimeter or PLC input to verify the signal change.
What is the operating temperature range?
The IGS708 operates reliably in temperatures from -25 °C to +80 °C, making it suitable for industrial environments. Avoid exceeding these limits to prevent damage.
How do I clean the sensor?
Clean the sensor surface with a dry cloth to remove dust or debris. Do not use solvents or aggressive chemicals, as they may damage the housing or sensing face.
What type of output does the IGS708 have?
The sensor provides a PNP transistor output, typically with normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) switching function. The output is short-circuit protected and has reverse polarity protection.
Can I adjust the switching output (NO/NC)?
Yes, the NO/NC logic of the IGS708 is programmable depending on the model variant. Check the specific pinout or use an external controller to select the desired switching behavior.
What is the protection rating and why is it important?
The IGS708 has an IP67 rating, meaning it is fully protected against dust and allows temporary immersion in water. This ensures durability in harsh industrial conditions.
How to install the sensor correctly?
Mount the sensor with its M18 thread securely into a bracket or housing. Maintain the non-flush mounting distance to avoid interference from surrounding metal. Ensure the sensing face is unobstructed.
