Frequently Asked Questions - II5697 IFM

What is the detection range of the IFM II5697 inductive sensor?

The rated range (Sn) is indicated on the sensor label. It is measured with a steel 37 target. For other metals, the range may be shorter.

How to mount the II5697 inductive sensor?

Mounting can be flush or non-flush according to the label (Sn = Xmm f or nf). Respect a clearance zone around the active face (fig. 2) and minimum distances between multiple sensors (fig. 3, 4).

What supply voltage to use for the II5697?

The supply voltage must match the values on the label. If the voltage is not stabilized, it is recommended to connect a capacitor (e.g., 1000 µF, 50 V for 24 V).

How to connect the II5697 inductive sensor?

Disconnect the installation before connection. If the cable exceeds 30 m and the wires are larger than 0.5 mm², install it separately from interference sources or use a shielded cable. Connect the load before powering on.

What precautions to take with inductive loads?

For inductive loads, mount an RC circuit in parallel to the load (fig. 7). Do not connect low-resistance loads (such as lamps) directly to the sensor; use a relay (fig. 6).

What to do if the 2-wire sensor does not work correctly?

If the load is too low, it may cause malfunction. Mount a resistor in parallel with the load (fig. 8).

Can multiple II5697 sensors be connected in series or parallel?

In series, take into account the voltage drop of each device. Parallel connection of 2-wire devices is to be avoided except in exceptional cases; check proper operation (fig. 9).

What is the main function of the IFM II5697 inductive sensor?

The detector detects metals without contact and indicates their presence by a switching signal.

How to clean the II5697 inductive sensor?

The manual does not mention a specific cleaning procedure. Wipe gently with a dry cloth if necessary.

Function and features

This sensor detects metals without contact and indicates their presence by providing a switched signal. Nominal sensing range (Sn) see type label; (value based on standard measurement with mild steel; a shorter sensing range for other metals).

Installation

• Flush or non-flush installation (see type label: Sn = Xmm f or Xmm nf) ( fig. 1)
• Open space around the sensing face when mounted in metal ( fig. 2).
• Minimum distance when several sensors of the same type are mounted ( fig. 3, 4).

Electrical connection

Disconnect power before connecting the proximity switch; connection: fig. 5).

• For cables longer than 30m and wires greater than 0.5mm^2 the cable should be laid separately from sources of interference (at a distance of about 50~cm ) or a screened cable should be used.
• Connect the load before applying the operating voltage.
• Observe the values for current rating and minimum load current.

• If capacitive loads are used, ensure that the peak current rating is not exceeded.

• Do not connect loads of low resistance (e.g. lamps) directly to the sensor. Switch these loads via a relay ( fig. 6):

For inductive loads a RC circuit should be connected in parallel to the load ( fig. 7).

A load which is too low for 2-wire sensors may lead to malfunction. In such a case a resistor should be connected in parallel to the load ( fig.8).

• For series connection consider the voltage drop of each unit.

As a rule avoid connecting 2-wire units in parallel (only in exceptional cases, check the safe function, fig. 9):

The supply voltage must correspond to the values indicated on the label. If it is not stabilised, a capacitor should be connected (at 24 V and 1 A for example a capacitor of 1000 F , 50 WV → fig. 10):
