Frequently Asked Questions
What supply voltage does it take?
10 to 36 V DC. The bag reads UB: 10...36 V DC, with an output current of 100 mA.
How is it wired?
The bag diagram shows pin 1 to L+, pin 3 to L-, and the switched load on pin 4.
Is a cable included?
Not included. Each sensor comes with its two hex mounting nuts.
Is the output PNP or NPN?
PNP, normally open, switching up to 100 mA.
Will it drop in for an IFT245 that failed on my machine?
Yes, if the old sensor or its parts list reads IFT245 or IFK3006-BPKG/AM/P/US-104-DPS. Both lines are printed on this bag, so match either one before you swap it in. Flat-rate shipping in the lower 48, and orders over the free-shipping line ship free.
The bag spells out its own wiring in a few square inches of print: L+ on pin 1, L- on pin 3, the load on pin 4. Hold it next to the old sensor's drawing and check the match.
