Three wires on this one, brown for + power, 10v - 30v DC, blue for 0v and a black output wire. Output polarity is PNP, ie the supply voltage is present on the output when the switch is made. Note it's a normally closed contact so output is usually ON and goes OFF when the sensor is touching or close to a metal object.With a sheet metal tin, the switch detected it from about 5mm away and switched. Pulling it away the switch lost contact at about 10mm. So plenty of hysteresis for stability.Physically the body has a 16mm external thread with a pair of locknuts for adjustment. There's a neon light inside the orange nose to see when it's switched.Uses around the home with smart systems include checking if doors are opened or windows closed, can give an input to a Pi or Arduino.

Output is normally high, sourcing current.Goes low when an object is detected, but doesn't sink current.Works as described, a normally active high side switch. Also has an onboard indicator LED which I always like as it makes setup/debugging a lot easier.
