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

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
