Photoelectric Sensor Selection Guide
Online Learning Contact a Banner Engineer About Your Application

Overview

  • Detects objects within a defined sensing field, ignoring objects located just beyond the sensing field cutoff
  • Features two-turn, logarithmic adjustment of sensing field cutoff point from 0.2 to 2 m
  • Offers infrared, visible red LED or laser sensing beam
  • Uses rotating pointer to indicate relative cutoff point setting within sensing range
  • Available with standard 10 to 30V dc and bipolar NPN/PNP outputs or 12 to 250V ac and 24 to 250V ac with e/m relay output
  • Features easy push-button or remote programming of light/dark operate and output timing
  • Uses continuous status indicators to verify all settings at a glance
