What is the operating principle of this photoelectric sensor?

The operating principle of this sensor is a retro-reflective system, which means it detects objects by emitting a light beam towards a reflector, which then bounces back to the sensor.

Can you describe the housing shape and dimensions?

The sensor has a rectangular block housing shape with dimensions of 15 mm x 41.5 mm x 65.5 mm.

What type of light does the sensor use and is it visible?

The sensor uses a visible red light LED as its light source.

How is the sensor adjusted for optimal operation?

The sensor is adjusted using a potentiometer, allowing for fine-tuning of its sensitivity and operation range.

What is the maximum switching distance of the sensor?

The maximum switching distance of the sensor is up to 3 meters under optimal conditions.

What type of electrical connection does the sensor have?

The sensor features an M12 5-pin male connector for its electrical connection.

What materials are used in the construction of the sensor?

The sensor's housing is made of metal with zinc die-casting, and the optics are made of PMMA plastic.

What is the response time of the sensor?

The sensor has a response time of ≤ 0.5 milliseconds.

What is the protection rating of the sensor?

The sensor has an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for use in environments where it may be exposed to dust and water.

What voltage is required to power the sensor?

The sensor operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 V DC.
