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.
Specifications
Supply Voltage
10 to 30 V dc (10% maximum ripple) at less than 25 mA, exclusive of
load;
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Repeatability
Opposed Mode: 100 microseconds
FF Mode: 160 microseconds
All others: 150 microseconds
Adjustments
Glass Fiber Optic, Plastic Fiber Optic, Convergent, Diffuse, and
Retroreflective mode models (only): Single-turn sensitivity (Gain)
adjustment potentiometer
Indicators
2 LED indicators on sensor top:
Green solid: Power on
Amber solid: Light sensed
Green flashing: Output overloaded
Amber flashing: Marginal excess gain (1 to 1.5x excess gain)
Prior to date code 0223, the output indicator was red.
Construction
ABS housing
3 mm mounting hardware included
Connections
2 m (6.5 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 9 m (30 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 4-pin Pico-
style or Euro-style QD, 4-pin Pico-style or Euro-style 150 mm (6 in)
pigtail QD, depending on model
Output Configuration
Solid-state complementary (SPDT): NPN or PNP (current sinking or
sourcing), depending on model;
Rating: 100 mA maximum each output at 25 °C
Off-state Leakage Current (FF Mode): less than 200 μA @ 30V dc
Off-state Leakage Current (All others): less than 50 μA @ 30V dc
ON-state Saturation Voltage: less than 1 V @ 10 mA; less than 1.5 V @
100 mA
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or
short circuit of outputs
Output Response
Opposed Mode: 750 microseconds ON; 375 microseconds OFF
FF Mode: 850 microseconds ON/OFF
All others: 600 microseconds ON/OFF
NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct
during this time
