FT07-DLO – Magnetic proximity sensor

FT07-DLO (LANBAO) is a magnetic proximity sensor. It responds to the magnetic field of a permanent magnet, so it senses even at a greater distance and through a non-magnetic wall (plastic, aluminium, stainless steel).

Key features

• Connection: cable 2 m PVC.
• Degree of protection IP67 – protection against dust and temporary immersion.

Technical specifications FT07-DLO

Wiring of FT07-DLO by wire colours

A two-wire sensor has no separate signal wire – the load (PLC input, relay coil) is connected in series with the sensor. Before use, compare the residual current and voltage drop of the sensor with the minimum values of the input you are connecting it to.

The colour coding complies with IEC 60947-5-2. Always compare the actual pin and wire assignment with the diagram in the sensor datasheet (Downloads tab).

Two-wire connection – the load is in series with the sensor.

Typical applications

• detecting the piston position of a pneumatic cylinder with a magnetic ring
• sensing through a plastic or stainless steel wall
• monitoring the position of doors and covers with a magnet
• applications with a greater sensing distance than an inductive sensor
• detection in environments where the sensor cannot be placed close to the part

How to choose and what to watch out for

• NO contact (normally open): the output is activated when an object is detected. If you need the opposite logic, an NC variant is available.
• Cable outlet: the cheaper variant, but replacing the sensor requires pulling the entire cable. If you need quick replacement, choose a model with a connector (suffix -E1 for M8, -E2 for M12).
• Degree of protection IP67: protection against dust and temporary immersion. Not designed for permanent immersion or high-pressure washing – this requires IP69K.

NO or NC – and why it is not just a matter of convenience

NO (normally open) is an output that is active on detection. NC (normally closed) is active at rest and opens on detection. The difference is a safety one: with NC, a broken wire causes the same reaction as a detection, so the fault shows up immediately. With NO, a broken cable remains unnoticed until someone tries to switch.

This model has the contact NO – normally open.

Frequently asked questions

How is FT07-DLO connected?

FT07-DLO is supplied with the connection: cable 2 m PVC. The cable is part of the sensor; the other end is free for connection to a terminal block.

How is the two-wire sensor FT07-DLO connected?

Brown wire to plus, blue to minus, and the load is connected in series with the sensor – the two-wire version has no separate signal wire.

Do I need a magnet for the sensor?

Yes. A magnetic sensor responds to a permanent magnet that must be on the sensed part — on pneumatic cylinders it is the magnetic ring on the piston, otherwise a magnet must be added.
