What this sensor does

The Turck BI3U-M12E-VP4X-H1141 is a flush-mount inductive proximity switch with a 3 mm rated switching distance. It detects all metals at the same factor 1 range thanks to uprox®+ technology. The PNP changeover output suits PLC inputs and relay logic in automation cells.

Installing the sensor

Screw the M12 × 1 threaded barrel into a prepared hole and lock it with the supplied nuts. Connect the 4-wire DC cable to the M12 × 1 male connector; the pinout follows the standard complementary contact layout. The IP68 housing survives wash-down and coolant exposure. Magnetic fields from nearby welders or motors do not cause false triggers.

Check before ordering

Verify that your control system accepts a PNP changeover signal at the supplied DC voltage. Confirm the 1065 VDC rating matches your supply rails. Ensure the mounting hole matches the M12 × 1 thread and that the 32 g sensor fits the available space. The stainless steel 1.4301 body resists corrosion in food or chemical environments.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the BI3U-M12E-VP4X-H1141 is operating correctly after installation?

Verify the PNP changeover output switches at the rated 3 mm distance on all metals using the factor 1 specification, and check the M12 connector signal with a multimeter at 1065 VDC supply.

What comes in the box with the BI3U-M12E-VP4X-H1141 and what must I source separately?

The box contains one inductive sensor with M12 × 1 male connector and stainless steel 1.4301 housing; you must supply a compatible M12 female cable or field-wireable connector and a 1065 VDC power source.

Which version of the BI3U-M12E-VP4X-H1141 should I choose for my application?

This single order number 1580263 provides a flush-mount M12 × 1 threaded barrel with IP68 protection, factor 1 for all metals, magnetic-field resistance and extended temperature range; select it when those exact features match your requirements.
