Overview

  • Adjustable-field models with cutoff point from 20 to 100 mm, 30 to 150 mm or 50 to 250 mm
  • Fixed-field models with sensing range of 50 or 100 mm
  • 10 to 30V dc supply voltage with NPN or PNP output, depending on model
  • Accurate and reliable, even with low-reflectivity targets
  • Ideal for small, difficult-to-access areas
  • Visible red LED or visible red laser sensing beam
  • Bright LED operating status indicators visible from 360°

Indicators2 LED Indicators:
Green ON steady:power ON
Green flashing:Ooutput overload
Yellow† ON steady:light sensed
Yellow† flashing:marginal excess gain (1.0-1.5x excess gain) in light condition
†Note:Prior to date code 0223, the output indicator was red instead of yellow.
