Technical Features

Model Specific

Adjustment Type:

  • Potentiometer

Connection Type:

  • Connector, 4-pin M12

Housing Type:

  • DIN Rail

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: 2in.
  • Opposed Mode with F5 with lens: 2ft.
  • Opposed Mode with F5 with right angle lens: 1ft.
  • Proximity Mode with F5: 5in using a 0.040in diameter fiber bundle
  • Proximity Mode with F5 with lens: 1ft using a 0.040in diameter fiber bundle
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
