Adjustment Type:

  • Push Button

Connection Type:

  • Connector, 5-pin M12

Housing Type:

  • DIN Rail

Optical Block:

  • Type F4S, Glass Fiberoptics, with set screws
    Adapter for use with a wide variety of glass fiberoptic light guides for both the proximity and opposed sensing modes.

LED Light Source

  • White = Broadband Color Spectrum)
    Best choice for detecting all printed registration marks on packaging material. Recommended for detecting dark colored objects in the proximity (Beam Make) mode. Best choice for sorting colored objects.

Sensing Range:

  • 0.25in to 0.50in range
Family Specific

Supply Voltage:

  • 10 to 30 VDC
  • Polarity Protected

Current Requirements:

  • 45mA (exclusive of load)

Output Transistors: 

  • (1) NPN and (1) PNP sensor output transistor
  • Outputs sink or source up to 150 milliamps (current limit)
  • All outputs are continuously short circuit protected.

Remote AUTOSET Input:

  • Opto-isolated momentary sinking input (10 milliamps)

Response Time

  • MEP45WL – Light/Dark = 45μs
    Repeatability = 13μs
  • MEP – Light/Dark = 175μs

Push Button Control:

  • AUTOSET
  • Manual Adjustments
  • Set status of 5 options: 5) Lock, 4) Output Invert, and Pulse Stretchers 3) 10ms, 2) 25ms, and 1) 50ms

Hysteresis:

  • Set for high resolution … less than one bar on the contrast indicator

Light Immunity:

  • Responds to sensor’s pulsed modulated light source … immune to most ambient light and strobes, including indirect sunlight

Diagnostic Indicators:

  • 5-LED Bargraph functions in one of two modes:
    1. Contrast Indicator… Displays scaled reading of sensor’s response to contrasting light levels (light to dark)
    2. Status Indicator…Displays status of five selectable options
  • Red LED output indicator … Illuminates when the sensor’s output transistors are “ON” NOTE: If Output LED flashes, a short circuit condition exists
  • Amber LED…Illuminates when in the options select mode
  • Yellow LED…Illuminates when Lock feature is activated

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

Ambient Temperature:

  • -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to158°F)

Rugged Construction:

  • Chemical resistant, high-impact polycarbonate housing
  • Waterproof, NEMA 4X, 6P and IP67 enclosure ratings
  • Epoxy encapsulated for mechanical strength
