Product Specifications

Supply Voltage and Current	10 to 30V dc (10% max. ripple) @ 45 mA (exclusive of load)
Range	Opposed:60 m Non-polarized Retroreflective:12 m, range is specified using one model BRT-84 retroreflector Polarized Retroreflective:8 m, range is specified using one model BRT-84 retroreflector Diffuse:1.0 m
Supply Protection Circuitry	Protected against reverse polarity, over voltage and transient voltages
Output Configuration	Bipolar:One NPN (current sinking) and one PNP (current sourcing); light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO) selectable or configurable, depending on model
Output Rating	100 mA max. each output @ 25° C OFF-state leakage: NPN:less than 200 µA @ 30V dc PNP:less than 10 µA ON-state saturation voltage: NPN:less than 1.6V @ 100 mA PNP:less than 2.0V @ 100 mA
Output Protection Circuitry	Protected against output short-circuit, continuous overload, transient over-voltages and false pulse on power-up
Output Response Time	Opposed:5 milliseconds ON/OFF All others:2 milliseconds ON/OFF
Delay at Power-up	100 milliseconds; outputs do not conduct during this time.
Repeatability	Opposed:not applicable All others:500 microseconds
Adjustments	Opposed, Polarized Retroreflective and Non-polarized Retroreflective:Selectable light/dark operate is achieved using the gray wire Light Operate:Low (0 to 3V)* Dark Operate:High (open or 5 to 30V)* Diffuse: Light Operate:High (open or 5 to 30V)* Dark Operate:Low (0 to 3V)* Diffuse, Polarized Retroreflective and Non-polarized Retroreflective:Single-turn sensitivity(Gain) adjustment potentiometer *Note:Input impedance 10 k ohms
Indicators	Large, oval LED indicator on back (Except Emitter): Yellow ON steady:output conducting 2 LED indicators on top:Green and Yellow Green ON steady:power ON Green flashing:output overloaded (except receivers) Yellow ON steady:light sensed Yellow flashing:marginal excess gain (1.0-1.5x excess gain)
Construction	PC/ABS housing with acrylic lens cover
Environmental Rating	IP67; NEMA 6
Connections	5-conductor 2 m or 9 m attached PVC cable, or 4-pin Euro-style quick-disconnect fitting. QD cables are ordered separately.
Operating Conditions	Temperature:-20 to +70° C Relative humidity:90% @ 50° C (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock	All models meet Mil. Std. 202F requirements. Method 201A (Vibration; frequency 10 to 60 Hz max., double amplitude 0.06-inch acceleration 10G). Also meets IEC 947-5-2 requirements: 30G, 11 milliseconds duration, half-sine wave.
