What is a NAMUR inductive sensor?
An inductive proximity sensor detects metal without contact using a high-frequency magnetic field. A NAMUR sensor does not switch a load directly: it changes its current draw when metal is present. It must connect to a NAMUR input or an isolating switch amplifier, which reads that current change.
This makes NAMUR sensors popular in process industries and, together with suitable barriers, in hazardous-area installations.

Why choose the Datalogic IS-12-C20-03
- NAMUR output: for isolating amplifiers and process I/O
- 4 mm range: non-flush mounting for extra distance
- Contact-free: no wear, long life
- Cost-effective: reliable standard IS series
- Ready cable: fixed 2 m lead
Typical applications
- Valve position feedback
- Process plants with NAMUR inputs
- Metal part presence detection
- Cam and rotation monitoring
Installation and setup tips
Connect the two wires to a NAMUR input card or an isolating switch amplifier, not directly to a 24 V PLC input. Leave a metal-free zone around the non-flush sensing face. For hazardous areas, use a certified barrier or amplifier as your plant standard requires.
