Datasheet

For Sensing Small or Flat Parts at High Speeds

• Emitter and receiver pair produce a strobed web of modulated light beams, in 8 lengths, 2

sensing ranges

• Simple, economical and highly reliable means of sensing small parts or flat items which pass

anywhere through the light screen

• Fast response, output includes a 5-millisecond pulse stretcher for interfacing reliability

• Simple wiring configuration; emitter and receiver do not need a synchronization wire

• Rugged, self-contained and compact construction; rated IEC IP65

• Bipolar design offers both NPN (current sinking) and PNP (current sourcing) solid-state outputs

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety

applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output

condition.
