Abstract

A proximity detector having a housing and issuing an output signal whose state is a function of the position of a target or of the frequency of passage of a target, where the detector parameters can be set by an operator using operator dialog facilities communicating with the detector by dialog signals. The dialog facilities are separated from the detector housing and can be incorporated into a connection block connected to the detector housing by a connecting cable which conveys the dialog signals and the detector output signal.
