Overview
The LOHSE S100SB proximity sensor is an AC-powered inductive sensor designed for non-contact metal detection in industrial automation systems. Operating at 220V AC with a 100VA power rating and 80W consumption, this sensor delivers reliable presence/absence detection for assembly lines, conveyor systems, and stockpile monitoring applications. Its straightforward design and AC power operation make it suitable for retrofit into existing control circuits without complex modifications.
