It's similar to how a photo-editing software works. The light switch. If it's a mechanical buzzer, however, it'll need to trigger an intermediate relay because the sensor isn't designed to handle a lot of power.

They marked the sensor with wiring markings. It's a strange color combination, but that's China for you, and it's simple to wire up. I experimented with both the 24-hour and the 48-hour clock volts of power and a 5-inch diameter volts of electricity In either case, the sensor is functional. However, keep in mind that the middle wire, or third leg, is grounded when wiring your circuit. My sensors had three wires: a brown power wire, a blue ground wire, and a black sensing wire that activated when metal was near. It also has a bright LED that illuminates when the sensor is triggered. I'm going to put six of these on my 3 axis DIY CNC Plasma Cutter machine, which I'm currently testing, so I'll keep you updated as the project progresses. I intend to 3d print some plastic holders for it in order to try to separate the interference of the plasma's high voltage through the metal machine frame as much as possible. I'm also going to use a set of relays with opto isolators for the board, which I believe will be the best way to protect it from high voltage and interference. The wiring coming out of the sensor isn't shielded either. As a result, I'll have to find a way to protect that as well.
For the price, these are a great buy! I use them for the Z-Wave. My plasma cnc table's axis has been activated. They are advertised as being 8mm, but in my experience with the sensor, they are closer to 7mm. I set the offset for the sensors in my post processor, which gives me a consistent piercing point. I should point out that I've only ever used these on steel, not aluminum. According to what I've read, in order for the sensors to detect the working surface on aluminum, the offset may need to be adjusted. Also, these sensors are not waterproof on the "cord side. " To make them waterproof, pry the cap open and pour clear silicone into the inner cavity, then press the cap back down until the silicone oozes out. I hope that this information aids someone in making an informed decision about which sensors to purchase.
When the sense wire isn't in contact with metal, the voltage on it is very high. When it detects metal in range, the voltage is almost zero. One advantage of having such a large sensor is that you can adjust it to detect over a wide range.
The sensor is in excellent condition. It's a bit deceptive. Although it says it's a NO sensor, it's actually a NC. When a material is placed in front of the sensor and the light is turned on, it is open.
Our Hose Bib Buddy product was used to count sealed bags, and it worked well. FYI! To be detected, you must be almost touching the object.
The device was simple to wire and worked perfectly on a PVC tube to detect cartridge brass and stop the feeder.
In line with expectations.
Despite the fact that the sensors I received said NO, they were actually Normally Closed. To revers them, I had to use two relays. Thank you so much!.
