FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Industrial sensor FAQ.
Practical answers for engineers, buyers and distributors.
01How do I choose between a proximity sensor and a photoelectric sensor?+
Use an inductive proximity sensor for short-range metal detection. Photoelectric sensors are suitable when you need longer range or must detect non-metal objects.
02What information should I send with an inquiry?+
Please include the target material, required sensing distance, available mounting space, supply voltage, output type, connection preference, quantity and destination country.
03Are PNP and NPN output options available?+
Common industrial sensor ranges can include PNP and NPN configurations. The exact output, switching function and wiring are confirmed for each selected model.
04What is a through beam photoelectric sensor?+
A through beam sensor uses a separate emitter and receiver. The output changes when an object interrupts the beam.
05Can KALEN help identify a replacement sensor?+
Yes. Send the existing model number, label photo, wiring, dimensions, sensing distance and application conditions for comparison.
06Do you support OEM and distributor inquiries?+
OEM and distributor requirements can be discussed based on model selection, quantity, labeling, documentation, packaging and target market.
