What is the function of this photoelectric sensor?
The WL250-2P2431 is a retro-reflective sensor designed for object detection. It emits a light beam towards a reflector, which then bounces back to the sensor. The sensor detects the presence or absence of objects interrupting this light beam.
What type of output does this sensor have?
This sensor features a PNP output type, which means it sources current to the output when an object is detected.
Can this sensor be used in outdoor applications?
While the WL250-2P2431 has an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for harsh environments, it's always best to review the specific conditions and requirements of the outdoor application to ensure compatibility.
What are the power requirements for this sensor?
The sensor requires a supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC, with a current consumption of approximately 20 mA.
What materials are used in the construction of this sensor?
The housing of the sensor is made of ABS plastic, and the optical surface is made of PMMA plastic, providing durability and resistance to certain environmental factors.
How can I adjust the sensitivity of this sensor?
The sensitivity of the WL250-2P2431 can be adjusted using a potentiometer, allowing for fine-tuning to suit the detection requirements of your application.
What is the maximum switching frequency of this sensor?
The sensor has a maximum switching frequency of 1000 Hz, which refers to the speed at which it can repeatedly detect objects.
What type of connection does this sensor use?
The sensor uses an M12, 4-pin connector for its electrical connection, providing a standardised and secure connection.
Does this sensor come with any accessories?
Yes, the sensor typically comes with a reflector and mounting bracket included, which are essential for installation and operation.
What is the response time of this sensor?
The WL250-2P2431 has a response time of less than or equal to 0.5 ms, allowing for quick detection of objects.
