Allen-Bradley 802PR-LAAA1 Proximity Switch

Allen-Bradley 802PR-LAAA1 is an inductive proximity sensor (proximity switch) designed for non‑contact metal detection in industrial automation. This 2‑wire AC high‑output device provides a normally open output and a nominal sensing distance of 13 mm, with a shielded sensing element that reads targets from the side. The unit uses a conduit‑coupler connection type, enabling installation in conduit wiring layouts common to panel assemblies. Not specified as corrosion resistant, the sensor is best suited for environments where exposure to corrosive conditions is limited or controlled. The 802PR family is built for rugged industrial use and integrates with standard AC control circuits, offering compact, reliable metal-detection sensing in tight spaces. In operation, ferrous targets entering the sensing field produce a Yes/No signal via the normally open contact, enabling straightforward signaling for machine control, position sensing, or presence detection. Typical applications include detecting metal presence or end-of-stroke positioning in automated equipment and interfaces where a durable, non‑contact sensor is advantageous. Verified specifications include: proximity sensor type – 2‑wire AC high output; nominal sensing distance – 13 mm; sensing direction – side; output configuration – N.O.; connection type – conduit‑coupler; shielding – shielded.
