Selection note: The M30 flush set-distance cell is printed 0–16 mm against a 10 mm nominal distance. Confirm the usable gap before selection. Supply and switching-frequency lines include AC data, but an AC model must be selected from the relevant output row.
Values are transcribed from the GWIEC sensor catalog, pages 12–13. A dash means no model is listed in that source cell. Nominal distance and an operating/set distance are different quantities. Select the complete model, output, supply, connection and mounting dimensions together.
