The ipf electronic IN1811T1 is an M18 cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for high-temperature applications up to 180°C. It features NPN normally-open output, 8mm non-flush sensing distance, and a 5m axial cable connection. The stainless steel (1.4305) housing provides corrosion resistance, while built-in short-circuit and reverse polarity protection ensure reliable operation. With 1.2 ms response time and 400 Hz switching frequency, it handles fast automation processes. Applications include metal part detection in foundries, heat treatment lines, baking ovens, glass manufacturing, and any high-temperature industrial environment where standard sensors cannot operate.
**Q: Can the IN1811T1 be used in standard temperature applications?**
A: Yes, it operates from 0°C to 180°C, making it suitable for both standard and high-temperature environments, though it may be over-specified for room-temperature use.
**Q: Is the IN1811T1 compatible with PNP PLC inputs?**
A: No, this is an NPN (sinking) output sensor. For PNP (sourcing) inputs, select a PNP-output ipf sensor variant or use an NPN-to-PNP signal converter.
