Technical Features

Model Specific

Adjustment Type:

  • Potentiometer

Connection Type:

Optical Block:

  • Type V4, Convergent 1" "V" Axis
    Narrow beam optics useful for sensing small parts. Also useful for proximity sensing to minimize response to reflected light from background objects. Useable range of 1".

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:

  • 1 in
Family Specific

Supply Voltage:

  • 12 to 24 VDC
  • Polarity Protected

Current Requirements:

  • 60mA (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 protection
  • Outputs protected from pulsing during power up
  • Light/Dark switch determines output status:
    LT = Light "ON" Operate
    DK = Dark "ON" Operate

Response Time

  • Minimum duration of input event: 500 microseconds

Hysteresis:

  • Set for Medium-to-Low contrast application

Light Immunity:

  • Responds to sensor's pulse modulated light source - immune to most ambient light

Range Adjustment:

  • 15 turn Light Source Intensity control

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 Light/Dark switch
  • BEAM STATUS INDICATOR
    GREEN LED illuminates when received light level exceeds the sensor's light state switch point
  • LIGHT SOURCE INTENSITY INDICATOR
    YELLOW LED illuminates proportionally to the Light Source intensity as determined by the Range adjustment

Rugged Construction:

  • Chemical resistant housing
  • Waterproof ratings: NEMA 4X, 6P and IP67
  • Epoxy encapsulated for mechanical strength
