Common Industrial ApplicationsBecause it is a capacitive sensor, it can "see through" non-metallic container walls. Common use cases include: 

• Monitoring liquid or bulk material levels inside plastic bins or glass tubes.
• Checking the presence of cardboard boxes or packaging layers.
• Detecting sheets of glass, wood panels, or plastic components on automation conveyor systems.
• Standard Wiring ConfigurationThis is a standard 3-wire DC sensor. The connection layout is typically as follows: 
  • Brown Wire: Positive Power Supply (+VDC, 10–36V)
  • Blue Wire: Negative Power Supply (0V / Ground)
  • Black Wire: PNP Switching Output (Connects to your PLC or load, switching to +VDC when an object is detected)
