Being that the video has water in the background leads me to believe that you are submerging the sensor. It is rated for 1 meter of submersion. Has it been deeper than that? I have a feeling that is your issue.
thanks for your feedback dave. we thought it was a water ingress issue, but couldn't find any evidence of moisture inside the sensors that exhibited this behaviour (about 10 in total). strangely, we had one that was full of water and it was working perfectly. stranger, rubbing the sensor faces with a cloth seemed to fix the problem for a short period of time. we've had a chem analysis done of the residue, and found nothing interesting. we are waiting for an official response from the supplier
What was the application that this sensor was being used for?

Better call your Balluff Rep to fix the problem.

What are the blue "cables" for? It's strange to have more than a single cable coming out of the sensor.

Hi 7027A, the blue "cables" you see are actually the handles of a pair of pliers we were using to hold the sensor up for the camera.

Strange way for an inductive prox to work. Like the way that it stays on after the screw driver has been removed as well!!
