Technical Features

Model Specific

Adjustment Type:

  • Push Button

Connection Type:

  • Cabled, 5-wire, 6ft.

Housing Type:

  • DIN Rail

Optical Block:

  • Type F4, Glass Fiberoptics
    Adapter for use with a wide variety of glass fiberoptic light guides for both the proximity and opposed sensing modes.

LED Light Source

  • Blue = 480nm
    Useful for detecting translucent, transparent, plastic, or glass objects in the retroreflective mode when using the R4 optical block
    Used as blue filter for color perception advantages, i.e. resolving yellow vs. white colored objects or printed registration marks

Sensing Range:

  • Opposed Mode with F4: 8in
  • Opposed Mode with F4 and lens: 12ft
  • Proximity Mode with F4: 1in using a .125in diameter fiber bundle
Family Specific

Supply Voltage:

  • 10 to 30 VDC
  • Polarity Protected

Current Requirements:

  • 45mA (exclusive of load)

Output Transistors: (Current Limited)

  • (1) NPN and (1) PNP sensor output transistor
    (1) PNP Action Alert output transistor
  • Sensor outputs can sink or source up to 150mA
  • All outputs are continuously short circuit protected
  • Action Alert PNP transistor output source up to 75mA

Response Time

  • Light/Dark state response = 300 microseconds

Hysteresis:

  • Set for high resolution – less than one bar on the Contrast Indicator

Pushbutton Control:

  • Automatic set-up routines, i.e., QuickSet/AUTOSET
  • Manual Adjustments
  • Set status of five options: LOCK, AUTOSET, LT/DK ON, Auto Trac, and 10ms TIMER

 

Indicators:

  • 5-LED Bar graph 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 5 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 action alert is activated. Also indicates when ACT adjusts sensor

Light Immunity:

  • Responds to sensor’s pulse modulated light source, resulting in high immunity to most ambient light, including indirect sunlight

Ambient Temperature:

  • -40°C to 70°C (-40°F to158°F)

Rugged Construction:

  • Chemical resistant, high-impact polycarbonate housing
  • Waterproof ratings: NEMA 6 and IP67
  • Conforms to heavy industry grade CE requirements

UL CertifiedCE Certified
