Description
For documentation and other MINI-EYE™ models, please see our MINI-EYE™ Marketing Page. Technical Features Model Specific Adjustment Type: Potentiometer Connection Type: Connector, 4-pin M8 Housing Type: 18MM Output Transistors: PNP: Source up to 100mA All outputs are continuously short circuit protected Supply Voltage: 10 to 30 VDC Polarity Protected 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: 15ft, 35ft 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
