What is the function of this sensor reflector?

The sensor reflector is designed to work with the WL100L photoelectric sensor, reflecting the light emitted by the sensor back to it, which allows the sensor to detect the presence or absence of objects within its range.

How is the reflector mounted?

This reflector is designed for screw mounting and comes with a rectangular shape that allows for easy installation with a 2-hole mounting system.

Can this reflector be used in outdoor environments?

While the reflector is robust, its suitability for outdoor use would depend on the specific environmental conditions and the protection provided by the overall system. It's designed to operate within a temperature range of –20 °C to +65 °C.

What are the dimensions of the reflective area?

The reflective area of the PL80A is 80 mm x 80 mm, providing a sufficient surface for the photoelectric sensor to detect.

What material is the reflector made from?

The reflector is made from PMMA/ABS, which is a combination of acrylic and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, known for its durability and good reflective properties.

Is there any special consideration for the operating temperature?

The reflector is designed to operate effectively within a temperature range of –20 °C to +65 °C. It's important to ensure that the reflector is not subjected to temperatures outside this range to maintain its performance and longevity.

How can I find more information about compatible sensors for this reflector?

For detailed compatibility information, it's recommended to consult the technical specifications of the WL100L photoelectric sensor or contact technical specialists for guidance on compatible models.

What is the significance of the reflector's material composition?

The PMMA/ABS material provides a balance of strength, impact resistance, and excellent reflective properties, which are essential for the reliable operation of photoelectric sensors in various applications.
