Technical Features

Model Specific

Adjustment Type:

  • Push Button

Connection Type:

  • Cabled, 5-wire, 6ft.

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: 9in
  • Opposed Mode with F5 and lens: 6ft
  • Opposed Mode with F5 and right angle lens: 3ft
  • Proximity Mode with F5: 7in using a .125in diameter fiber bundle
  • Proximity Mode with F5 and lens: 1ft
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
