WARNING
INTRODUCTION
The iProx is a fi eld programmable inductive proximity sensor from Eaton
featuring Eaton’s exclusive microprocessor-controlled SmartSense™
technology. This allows the iProx to perform unique sensing functions at
extended ranges.
If required by your application, the sensing characteristics of the iProx can
be modifi ed by using a Microsoft Windows-based software application called
ProxView (E59SW1) and a programming accessory (E59RP1 or E59TP1). In
addition to adjusting sensing range and outputs, the software can be used to
enable certain advanced sensing features disabled by default, such as band
sensing, output delays and speed detection. For more detailed programming
information, review the ProxView Software User Guide (P50228). This
software can be freely downloaded from www.eatonelectrical.com/iprox.
Programming is not required. The iProx is shipped from the factory with
default settings that are optimized for most applications.
Special versions of the iProx sensor, such as ChipMaster and SpeedSense,
come pre-programmed from the factory to fulfi ll advanced application
requirements without the need to program. These sensors can also be
programmed using the ProxView software package.
Warning: The iProx sensor is a fi eld programmable sensor with several
confi gurable parameters. As such, do not use the iProx without testing
the confi guration prior to use. Failure to do so could result in an unsafe
condition.
MOUNTING
The iProx is available in both shielded (embedded cap) and unshielded
(exposed cap) versions. Mounting instructions for shielded and unshielded
sensors are different.
Shielded sensors can be fully embedded or fl ush-mounted in surrounding
metal.
Unshielded sensors typically require a metal-free zone surrounding the
sensor cap. (See the fi gure below for dimensions.)
However, the Background Metal Rejection feature of the iProx allows even
unshielded sensors to be mounted in a metal-rich environment. In most
cases, enabling Background Metal Rejection will reduce the sensing range.
Consult the ProxView Software User Guide (P50228) for more information.
