Sub-miniature sensor for installation in the smallest of spaces
Red laser models provide bright, precise laser light spot for optimum small part detection
High switching frequency for detection in even the fastest processes
Beam inhibit on emitter can be used to test normal function of the opposed mode pair
User-friendly operation using electronic push button or remote input provides reliable and precise detection
Teach input on receiver adjusts switching threshold to optimize for small part detection
Robust, glass-fiber-reinforced plastic housing
PNP or NPN output, depending on model
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.
AVERTISSEMENT: Ne pas utiliser pour la protection de personnes
Ces produits ne doivent pas être utilisés comme systèmes de détection pour la protection de personnes. Une utilisation dans
de telles conditions pourrait entraîner des dommages corporels graves, voire mortels. Ce produit n'est pas équipé du circuit
redondant d'autodiagnostic nécessaire pour être utilisé dans des applications de protection personnelle. Une panne du capteur
ou un mauvais fonctionnement peut entraîner l'activation ou la désactivation de la sortie.
