Care to review / criticize my work?

Thank you! Would this particular type require a resistor?

Wire it to a MASSO input as a type 4 and don't invert the input.
Then it should show Low normally and High when triggered.

Type 4

Woops, I wasn't paying full attention, I gotta work on that

Don't worry the worse that will happen is that it will not work.
Yours is the first I have seen that does not fit one of the 4 options.
Please report back and let me know if it works and I will update the documentation accordingly to cover this test result.
According to the data sheet of your sensor from the part number PNM-CN-3H this is the diagram for it.

No problem Peter, happy to contribute where I can. I will say I don't have a lot of confidence in these, they don't feel as robust as some other sensors I've used in the past. Ill likely swap out for another brand Im more familiar with, but Ill try these out regardless and let you know the results.
