 The Cutler-Hammer® iProx Series represents the highest performance, most versatile tubular inductive sensor offered by Omega. By utilizing an embedded microprocessor and exclusive SmartSense™ technology, iProx can sense up to three times farther than typical sensors of its class. Both shielded and unshielded versions of iProx feature extended sensing ranges. This allows the sensor to be mounted farther from the target, thereby reducing the potential for target impacts and increasing the sensing reliability of your application. With extended sensing range, quality construction and very high noise immunity, iProx is the ideal choice for even the most demanding inductive sensing applications.

• Available in AC 2-Wire, DC 3-Wire 
• Reliably Detects Metal Targets at Up to 3 Times the Range of Conventional Shielded or Unshielded Tubular Inductive Sensors 
• Quality Construction Using a Stainless Steel Barrel, 360° Dual-Color LED Indicator, Ryton® Impact-Resistant Face Cap and Vibration Absorbing Potting Compound 
• Auto-Configuration Technology Automatically Detects a Sinking (NPN) or Sourcing (PNP) Connection and Switches the Sensor Accordingly, Without any User Intervention 
• Highly Visible Dual Color Output Status LED 
• Withstands High Electrical Noise (Up to 20 V/m) 
• Resistant to Extreme Temperatures (-40°C)
