Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the UB300-18GM40-I-V1 directly replace the E4C-DS30 in existing installations?

A: Yes. Both sensors share identical M18 threaded cylinder form factors, cable lead termination, sensing distance specifications (60mm–275mm), and operating temperature ranges (-25°C to 70°C). Mechanical and electrical integration points are equivalent.

Q: What is the primary reason for substitution?

A: The E4C-DS30 is classified as obsolete. The UB300-18GM40-I-V1 is an active product from the same manufacturer, ensuring continued availability and support.

Q: Are there differences in environmental protection ratings?

A: No. Both sensors maintain IP65 ingress protection, suitable for industrial environments with dust and moisture exposure.

Q: Do both sensors use the same body material?

A: Yes. Both employ nickel-plated brass construction, providing equivalent corrosion resistance and durability characteristics.

Q: Is there a difference in RoHS compliance status?

A: No. Both the E4C-DS30 and UB300-18GM40-I-V1 are RoHS compliant, meeting environmental and regulatory requirements for electronic components.

Q: Can sensing distance be adjusted on either sensor?

A: Both sensors operate within the fixed range of 60mm to 275mm. Sensing distance adjustment is not a configurable parameter for these models.
