Installation dimension Description
A Minimum distance from sensor to damping material (e.g. steel).
B Minimum distance between two inductive sensors.
This clearance applies to installation in air. If the sensors are installed within an
attenuating material (e.g. steel), this distance is reduced. Testing in the application
is required in order to determine the exact distance.
C Minimum distance from the sensing face of the inductive sensor to the damping
material (e.g. steel).
Distance C does not make reference to the object to be detected, but rather to the
background. The object to be detected is detected within the switching distance.
D Minimum dimension by which the sensor (sensing face) must protrude from the
damping material (e.g. steel).
8 × Sn Installation opposite each other Two identical sensors must be mounted at this
minimum distance.

10 Installation and Electrical Connection
5.2.2 Installation instructions for sensors with weproTec
weproTec is the abbreviation for wenglor proximity switch technology, an innovative, patented wenglor tech-
nology for inductive sensors.
Inductive sensors with weproTec can be mounted very close to each other (installation dimension B1) or
opposite one another (1.5 ×Sn). No reciprocal influence occurs among the sensors within the specified zones.
The installation instructions in accordance with the standard (section “5.2.1 Installation Instructions in Accor-
dance with Standard” on page 9) are also valid.
weproTec has the following sensors:
I08xxxx, I12xxxx, I18xxxx, I30xxxx,
Installation dimension Description
A Minimum distance from sensor to damping material (e.g. steel).
B Minimum distance between two inductive sensors.
This clearance applies to installation in air. If the sensors are installed within an
attenuating material (e.g. steel), this distance is reduced. Testing in the application
is required in order to determine the exact distance.
B1 Additional minimum distance between two inductive sensors.
This clearance applies to installation in air. If the sensors are installed within an
attenuating material (e.g. steel), this distance is reduced. Testing in the application
is required in order to determine the exact distance.
C Minimum distance from the sensing face of the inductive sensor to the damping
material (e.g. steel).
Distance C does not make reference to the object to be detected, but rather to the
background. The object to be detected is detected within the switching distance.
D Minimum dimension by which the sensor (sensing face) must protrude from the
damping material (e.g. steel).
1.5 × Sn Installation opposite each other Two identical sensors must be mounted at this
minimum distance.
