Technical Features
Model Specific
Adjustment Type:
Potentiometer
Connection Type:
Connector, 4-pin M12 pigtail
Housing Type:
18MM
Supply Voltage:
5 VDC
Polarity Protected
LED Light Source
Red = 660nm Best choice for use with plastic fiberoptic light guides. Useful when sensing translucent objects in proximity (Beam Make) mode. Useful when sensing transparent objects in fiberoptic retroreflective (Beam Break) mode. Can be polarized for retroreflective (Beam Break) sensing to reduce proxing on shiny objects. Opposed fiberoptic light guides can be polarized for sensing some translucent plastic containers; consult factory for details. Used as red filter for color perception advantages.
Sensing Range:
60ft
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
