Inductive sensor for hazardous areas

The Turck BI1.5-EG08-Y1 is a NAMUR output inductive sensor built for use in explosive atmospheres. It carries ATEX approvals for gas and dust zones plus SIL2 and PLc ratings for safety-related systems. Electrical professionals specify it where intrinsic safety is mandatory.

Rated switching distance 1.5 mm

The sensor detects metal targets at a rated switching distance of 1.5 mm with flush mounting. It operates on a nominal 8.2 VDC supply via a two-wire DC connection conforming to DIN EN 60947-5-6. This specific sensing range and electrical interface determine compatibility with your NAMUR input barriers.

Stainless steel housing with cable connection

The threaded M8 × 1 barrel is machined from 1.4427 stainless steel for chemical resistance. A fixed cable provides the electrical connection without plug contacts that can loosen. The solid-state design has no moving parts, so it runs silently and draws only the low current required by the NAMUR loop.

Questions about this item

What does the 1.5 mm rated switching distance mean when the sensor is installed flush in metal?

It detects a standard steel target at 1.5 mm from the sensing face when mounted flush, so the trigger point stays consistent in metal brackets.

How does the NAMUR output to DIN EN 60947-5-6 limit the usable voltage and current?

The sensor runs on a nominal 8.2 VDC two-wire loop; the NAMUR standard caps the supply so the device stays intrinsically safe in hazardous areas.

Will the M8 × 1 threaded barrel fit my existing mounting hole?

Yes — the housing uses an M8 × 1 thread, so it screws into any M8 × 1 clearance hole and locks with a standard M8 nut.
