Datasheet
Datasheet Summary
Powered by GS/AI

The DC MITY•EYE® with Infrared LED and R4 Retroreflective Block (part number MDICR4) is a miniature sensor designed for high-speed applications, featuring a response time of 500 microseconds. It operates within a supply voltage range of 10 to 30 VDC at 35mA and is reverse polarity protected. The sensor provides both NPN and PNP open collector output transistors capable of sinking or sourcing up to 150mA continuously, with additional protections against short circuits and false chattering during power-up.

The R4 optical block is specifically designed for retroreflective sensing, making it suitable for detecting reflectors or reflective materials at long ranges, with a maximum sensing range of 20 feet. The sensor is housed in a rugged, chemical-resistant case that is O-ring sealed for moisture protection and is epoxy encapsulated for mechanical stability, meeting NEMA 4X, 6P, and IP67 standards.

Adjustments include a 4-turn clutched sensitivity adjustment and a two-position light/dark selection switch, with a red LED indicator that activates when the light beam is established. The operating temperature range is from -20°C to 70°C (-20°F to 158°F), making it suitable for various environments. The interchangeable optical blocks allow for flexibility in sensing modes, reducing inventory costs and maintenance needs.
