The Inductive Sensor IC0003 (ICE2040-FBOA) is a compact and rugged proximity sensor designed for demanding industrial environments where durability and precision are key. Featuring a very long sensing range of 40 mm and a large active sensor face, this model provides reliable performance even in harsh conditions. One of its key highlights is the adjustable sensing range, which can be fine-tuned easily via an integrated potentiometer, making it adaptable for various automation and machinery applications. This sensor supports a wide operating voltage range of 20 to 250V AC/DC, offering the flexibility of combined AC/DC operation through two-wire technology. It also features a programmable output function, allowing users to select between normally open and normally closed configurations as per system needs. Housed in a durable rectangular enclosure (90 x 60 x 40 mm) made from robust PPE material, the IC0003 is built to withstand industrial stress and is IP65-rated for protection against dust and water, ensuring long-term reliability. Engineers appreciate the IC0003 for its high current handling capacity, with the AC output rated up to 250 mA and DC output up to 100 mA. Despite not having built-in short-circuit or overload protection, the sensor is designed with safety in mind and should be used alongside a fast-acting miniature fuse (? 2A), placed outside hazardous areas to maintain safe operation. The sensor can detect metallic objects with high accuracy, aided by correction factors that account for different materials like stainless steel, brass, and copper. It also maintains reliable switching across temperatures from -25°C to +80°C, making it suitable for a wide range of environmental conditions. This sensor includes a visible yellow LED for switching status indication, simplifying installation and diagnostics. The product comes with mounting accessories such as screws, washers, and a screwdriver, allowing for quick and efficient setup. The switching frequency of 10 Hz for both AC and DC applications ensures smooth operation in automation lines where timing is crucial. With an impressive MTTF of 496 years, the IC0003 is a long-lasting solution that minimizes downtime and replacement costs. For industries in need of reliable proximity detection—such as packaging, metal processing, logistics automation, and conveyor systems—the IC0003 is a dependable choice.
