Overview

  • Features EZ-BEAM technology, with specially designed optics and electronics for reliable sensing without adjustments
  • Available in opposed and convergent sensing modes
  • Ideal as a low-cost, high-quality miniaturized solution for confined areas
  • Offers 10 to 30V dc supply voltage with NPN or PNP output, depending on model
  • Available in dark- or light-operate models
  • Offers flat front mounting or optional bracket
