This part of IEC 60947 applies to inductive and capacitive proximity switches that sense the presence of metallic and\/or non-metallic objects, ultrasonic proximity switches that sense the presence of sound reflecting objects, photoelectric proximity switches that sense the presence of objects and non-mechanical magnetic proximity switches that sense the presence of objects with a magnetic field.<\/p>\n

Products covered by the scope of this document are not subjected to defined behaviours under fault conditions. Proximity switches with defined behaviour are covered by IEC 60947-5-3 and have to fulfil additional requirements.<\/p>\n

These proximity switches are self-contained, have semiconductor switching element(s) and are intended to be connected to circuits, the rated voltage of which does not exceed 250 V 50 Hz\/60 Hz AC RMS or 300 V DC.<\/p>\n

Examples of typical applications for in-scope products:<\/p>\n
