Technical Features
Model Specific
Adjustment Type:
Potentiometer
Connection Type:
Cabled, 6ft
Housing Type:
DIN Rail
Optical Block:
None.
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:
Depends on Optical Block
Family Specific
Supply Voltage:
12 to 24 VDC
Polarity Protected
Current Requirements:
85mA (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 protected
Outputs protected from pulsing during power up
Light/dark switch de4termines output status Light = Light "ON" operate Dark = Dark "ON" operate
Response Time
Minimum duration of input event
Light state response = 50 microseconds
Dark state response = 140 microseconds
Leading edge variation less than 20 microseconds
Hysteresis:
Less than 400 millivolts for maximum sensitivity and resolution
Light Immunity:
Responds to sensor’s pulse modulated light source
Immune to most ambient light
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 position of the Light/Dark switch
BEAM STATUS INDICATOR – RED LED illuminates when returned light level exceeds “5” on the CONTRAST INDICATOR
EDR® INDICATOR – Intensity of GREEN LED provides indication of where in the dynamic operating range the OFFSET/EDR® adjustment has been set
CONTRAST INDICATOR – Displays scaled reading of sensor’s response to contrasting light levels (light vs. dark) on a 10 bar LED display
OFFSET/EDR® Adjustment:
Sets initial level on CONTRAST INDICATOR in relation to mid-scale switch point of 5 – functions as sensitivity adjustment
Controls Enhanced Dynamic Range circuit (EDR®) which functions to avoid saturation
Rugged Construction:
Chemical resistant, high-impact polycarbonate housing
Waterproof, NEMA 4X, 6P and IP67 enclosure ratings
Epoxy encapsulated for mechanical strength
