Technical Features
Model Specific
Adjustment Type:
Potentiometer
Connection Type:
Connector, 4-pin M12 pigtail
Housing Type:
18MM
Supply Voltage:
10 to 30 VDC
Polarity Protected
LED Light Source
Infrared = 880nm Best choice in most opaque object sensing tasks. Provides longest possible sensing range in either Beam Make or Beam Break sensing modes. Best choice in hostile environments; useful in penetrating lens contamination. Preferred for use with small glass fiberoptic light guides Note: Do not use IR light with plastic fiberoptic light guides. Preferred when sensing dark colored objects in the proximity (Beam Make) mode, i.e., black, blue, green, etc. Useful in penetrating containers for verification of contents; also useful in detecting overlapped splices in dense materials. Color perception; tends to favor blue colored objects.
Sensing Range:
65ft
Family Specific
Current Requirements:
30mA (exclusive of load)
Remote AUTOSET Input:
Opto-isolated momentary sinking input (10 milliamps)
Response Time
Light State response = 600μs (1,100μs, Thru-Beam)
Dark State response = 600μs (1,100μs, Thru-Beam)
Light/Dark "ON" Operation:
Light “ON” achieved by connecting white wire to negative lead
Dark “ON” achieved by connecting white wire to positive lead
Range:
Dependent on model, see Selection Guidelines Note: 5 VDC models, range reduced by 10%
Hysteresis:
Approximately 20% of signal
Light Immunity:
Responds to sensor’s pulse modulated light source, resulting in high immunity to most ambient light, including high intensity strobes
Diagnostic Indicators:
Red LED = Output Status
Green LED = Power “ON”
Ambient Temperature:
-40°C to 70°C (-40°F to 158°F)
Rugged Construction:
Chemical resistant, high-impact polycarbonate housing
Waterproof ratings: NEMA 4X, IP66
