SERIES
Micro-size Inductive
Proximity Sensor
Amplifier Built-in
High performance
in micro-size design
Wide model variety
Versatile mounting
Reduced wiring operation
Models ranging from extremely
compact type to long sensing range
type are available to suit various
applications.
Since the sensor is fingertip size, it can
be mounted in a tight space.
The wiring cost of the DC 2-wire type
is 2/3 that of a conventional model.
Besides, the possibility of miswiring is
reduced.
Par ticularly convenient when many
sensors are used.
Flexible cable type
The bending durability of its cable is
ten times that of the conventional
model. The sensor can be mounted on
a moving table or a robot arm.

However, it is not necessary to use the aluminum sheet when mounting on a non-magnetic body, such as, aluminum or an insulator.
Notes: 2) The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient

Notes: 3) It is the leakage current when the output is in the OFF state.
Notes: 4) The maximum load current varies with the ambient temperature. Refer to ‘I/O CIRCUIT AND WIRING DIAGRAMS’ for more details.
Notes: 5) When the cable is extended, the residual voltage becomes larger according to the resistance of the cable.
The residual voltage of 5 m 16.404 ft cable length type increases by 0.1 V.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
All models
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.
Mounting
GXL-8 (DC 2-wire) type
• The tightening torque should
be 0.5 Nm or less.
• To mount the sensor with a nut,
the thru-hole diameter should be
"3.4 mm "0.134 in. With the
attached mounting screw and
nut, take care that the thickness
of the mounting plate should be
2.3 mm 0.091 in or less.
• If a screw other than the
attached screw is used, make
sure to use a M3 truss head
screw.
Do not use a flat head screw
or a pan head screw.
(
)
GXL-8 (NPN output) type
• The tightening torque should
be 0.5 N m or less.
• To mount the sensor with a nut,
the thru-hole diameter should
be "3 mm "0.118 in. With the
attached mounting screw and
nut, take care that the thickness
of the mounting plate should be
2.3 mm 0.091 in or less.
GXL-15 type
• The tightening torque should
be 1 N m or less.
• To mount the sensor with the
optional sensor mounting bracket
MS-GXL15, the thru-hole diameter
should be "3.4 mm "0.134 in.
• Screw, nut or washers are not
supplied. Please arrange them
separately.
• To mount the long sensing range
GXL-15 type on a magnetic body,
such as iron, the enclosed
aluminum sheet, or any other
aluminum sheet having a minimum
size of 30 39.5 t 0.3 mm
1.181 1.555 t 0.012 in
(GXL-15HLU / GXL-15HL:
3030 t 0.3 mm 1.1811.181
t 0.012 in), should be inserted
between the sensor and the
magnetic body.
However, it is not necessary to use
the aluminum sheet when
mounting on a non-magnetic body,
such as, aluminum or an insulator.
• When mounting the inductive
proximity sensor with the optional
sensor mounting bracket
MS-GXL15-2, if the bracket is
mounted close to the sensing part,
the bracket itself gets sensed and
the operation becomes unstable.
Make sure to mount such that the
mounting holes of the sensor and
those of the mounting bracket are
in one horizontal straight line.
Influence of surrounding metal
• When there is a metal near the sensor, keep the minimum
separation distance specified below.
Front sensing type
• If a screw other than the
attached screw is used, make
sure to use a M2.6 truss head
screw.
Note: Do not use a M3 screw.

Series connection (AND circuit)
Notes: 1) ‘I’ in the model No. specifies the different frequency type.
Notes: 2) Close mounting is possible for up to two sensors.
When mounting three sensors or more, at an equal spacing, in a
row, the minimum value of dimension H should be as given below.

Sensing range
• The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing
object. With a non-ferrous metal, the sensing range is
obtained by multiplying with the correction coefficient
specified below. Further, the sensing range also changes
if the sensing object is plated.

Wiring
• The sensor must be connected to a power supply via a
load. If the sensor is connected to a power supply without
a load, the short-circuit protection makes the sensor inoperable. (The output stays in the OFF state and the indicator does not light up.) In this case, rectify by connecting
the power supply via a load. Now, the sensor becomes
operable. Further, take care that if the power supply is
connected with reverse polarity without a load, the sensor
will get damaged.

• Do not use during the initial transient time [10 ms (DC
2-wire type: 50 ms)] after the power supply is switched on.
• The output does not incorporate a short-circuit protection
circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power supply or a
capacitive load (excluding the DC 2-wire type).
2-color indicator (Normally open type only)
• When the sensing object is in the stable sensing range,
the LED lights up in green, and when the sensing object is
in the unstable sensing range, the LED lights up in red.
While the LED lights up in green, the sensing is performed
stably without being affected by temperature drifts or
voltage fluctuations.
