MDRCF5

Adjustment Type:

• Potentiometer

Connection Type:

• Connector, 5-pin M12 Pigtail

Housing Type:

• Miniature Rectangular

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: 1in
• Opposed Mode with F5 and lens: 3.5ft

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:
