SICK CM30-25NPP-EC1 Sensor
SICK CM30-25NPP-EC1 capacitive proximity sensor, part 6058157. M30 format with extended range for level and packaging detection.
Overview
The SICK CM30-25NPP-EC1 (part number 6058157) is a capacitive proximity sensor in the M30 cylindrical format. The larger active face provides an extended detection range for non-metallic objects such as plastics, granulates, liquids and packaging materials, with connector-based wiring for fast installation.
How It Works
The sensor generates an electrostatic detection field at its active face. Objects entering the field alter the capacitance, and the electronics respond by switching the output. Detection depends on the dielectric constant of the object, so plastics, liquids and organic materials are detected as reliably as metals.

Installation and Setup Notes
Set the sensitivity with the thinnest target that must be detected, then verify that the bracket and surroundings do not cause false switching. Keep the active face clean; adherent material acts as a dielectric and can hold the output switched. For wall-mounting level detection, account for the wall material in the setting.
Frequently Asked Questions
What advantage does M30 have over M18?
The larger active face extends the detection range and gives a wider field for bulky targets.
Can it detect powder through a wall?
Yes, provided the wall is non-metallic and within the compensated range.
Is the connector replaceable?
The EC1 connection variant uses standard cordsets, so wiring is quick and replacement is simple.
