Product Description
The PE12CNT. is a family of
general purpose Photoelectric sensors.
They are specially designed
for Elevators, Escalators,
Entrance control to meet
the requirements in the
door market. The “snap-on”
housing can be mounted
with a wall thickness from
0.6 mm to 2.25 mm. The
emitter has a mute input to
turn it off for evaluation of
the sensor function.
Available in 10-30 VDC
version.

Installation Hints
To avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch
power cables from any other power cables,
e.g. motor, contactor or solenoid cables
Relief of cable strain
Protection of the sensing face
Switch mounted on mobile carrier
A proximity switch should not serve as
mechanical stop
Any repetitive flexing of the
cable should be avoided
Incorrect
Correct
The cable should not be pulled
