COMPACT
Small and compact allows for installation in the most mechanically demanding applications. The rugged case is molded of high-impact polycarbonate.

NO ADJUSTING
Since there is no adjustment there is no need to access the sensor at the sensing sight.

REMOTE ADJUST
Providing a wire for making adjustment in the three modes... High, Medium, and Low range... enables the sensor to be adjusted from a remote location.

VERSATILITY
Choice of ten “quick change” optical blocks allows one sensor to be used in proximity, convergent, retroreflective, polarized retroreflective, and fiberoptic applications.

LED LIGHT SOURCES
Choice of two LED light sources — infrared and red.

OUTPUT INDICATOR
Illuminates when output is on.
