Technical Features
Model Specific
Adjustment Type:
Potentiometer
Connection Type:
Cabled, 6ft
Housing Type:
DIN Rail
Optical Block:
Type F5, Plastic Fiberoptics Adapter for use with a wide variety of plastic fiberoptic light guides for both the proximity and opposed sensing modes.
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:
Opposed Mode with F5: 2in.
Opposed Mode with F5 with lens: 2ft.
Opposed Mode with F5 with right angle lens: 1ft.
Proximity Mode with F5: 5in using a 0.040in diameter fiber bundle
Proximity Mode with F5 with lens: 1ft using a 0.040in diameter fiber bundle
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
