Description
For documentation and other MITY•EYE®; models, please see our MITY•EYE® Marketing Page. Technical Features Model Specific Adjustment Type: Potentiometer Connection Type: Cabled, 6ft Housing Type: Miniature Rectangular Optical Block: Type R4, Retroreflective Very narrow beam optics designed to sense reflectors or reflective materials at long range. Designed for Beam Break sensing. 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: 20ft Family Specific Supply Voltage: 10 to 30 VDC @ 35mA Reverse Polarity Protected DC Models Output Devices: Provide both NPN and PNP open collector output transistors capable of sinking or sourcing up to 150mA continuous Short circuit protected Zener Diode protected to 36 volts Protected against falso chattering/pulsing during power up Response Time 500 microseconds (light or dark) Light Immunity: Pulse modulated to provide extremely high immunity to ambient light Adjustments/Indicato rs: 4-turn clutched sensitivity adjustment 2-position light "on" / dark "on" selection switch Red LED indicator energized when light beam is established Ambient Temperature: -20°C to 70°C (-20°F to 158°F) Rugged Construction: Chemical resistant case, "O" ring sealed to provide moisture protection Epoxy encapsulated for mechanical stability NEMA 4X, 6P and IP67
