Technical Features
Model Specific
Adjustment Type:
Potentiometer
Connection Type:
Cabled, 6ft
Housing Type:
DIN Rail
Optical Block:
Type V8, Convergent 0.5" "V" Axis Narrow beam optics useful for sensing small parts. Also useful for proximity sensing to minimize response to reflected light from background objects. Useable range of 0.5".
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:
0.5 in
Family Specific
Supply Voltage:
12 to 24 VDC
Polarity Protected
Current Requirements:
60mA (exclusive of load)
Output Transistors:
(1) NPN and (1) PNP sensor output transistor: NPN: Sink up to 150mA PNP: Source up to 150mA
Momentary short circuit protection
Outputs protected from pulsing during power up
Light/Dark switch determines output status: LT = Light "ON" Operate DK = Dark "ON" Operate
Response Time
Minimum duration of input event: 500 microseconds
Hysteresis:
Set for Medium-to-Low contrast application
Light Immunity:
Responds to sensor's pulse modulated light source - immune to most ambient light
Range Adjustment:
15 turn Light Source Intensity control
Ambient Temperature:
-40°C to 70°C (-40°F to158°F)
Indicators:
OUTPUT INDICATOR RED LED illuminates when the output transistors are in the "ON" state as determined by the Light/Dark switch
BEAM STATUS INDICATOR GREEN LED illuminates when received light level exceeds the sensor's light state switch point
LIGHT SOURCE INTENSITY INDICATOR YELLOW LED illuminates proportionally to the Light Source intensity as determined by the Range adjustment
Rugged Construction:
Chemical resistant housing
Waterproof ratings: NEMA 4X, 6P and IP67
Epoxy encapsulated for mechanical strength
