Product questions
What is the sensing range of the ifm KD5023?
The nominal sensing range is 60 mm; the published operating distance is 0–48.6 mm. Actual detection depends on the target material, size and shape, so check the intended application when distance is critical.
What output and supply voltage does the KD5023 use?
The KD5023 uses a PNP normally closed switching output and a 10–36 V DC supply. Its published output current rating is 250 mA. Check the control input and load requirements before selecting it.
How is the KD5023 mounted and connected?
It is intended for non-flush mounting and has a 2 m PVC cable with three 0.5 mm² conductors. Verify the available mounting space and the wiring diagram for the specific installation.
Can the KD5023 detect material through a vessel wall?
Capacitive sensors can detect liquids or solids through non-metallic vessel walls, but detection depends on the material and installation. Confirm the KD5023 sensing performance with the actual vessel and contents before specifying it.
