<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To inspect a proximity switch safer than ever. <P>SOLUTION: In this method of inspecting an operational state of an electromagnetic induction type proximity switch with a detection object approached, a jamming radio wave is radiated to the electromagnetic induction type proximity switch with the use of a portable transceiver. In order to inspect proximity switches 1e, 2e in their normal operation, the function of the proximity switch 2e to detect a striker 2d is disabled (that is, made into a state that is pseudoly similar to the one in which a follower pulley 2c suspends rotation) by the radiation of the jamming radio wave by the transceiver B, and an operator confirms whether a detection signal of the proximity switch 2e at the time of the disablement changes from a pulse signal to a fixed voltage, thereby inspecting the soundness of the proximity switch 2e. The soundness of the proximity switch 1e is also inspected in the exactly same manner as this inspection for the proximity switch 2e. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
