VS2 Series Opposed-Mode Sensors
Miniature self-contained sensors
VS2 Series Features
• Totally self-contained miniature sensors
• 10 to 30V dc operation
• Visible red or infrared sensing beam, depending on model
• Up to 3 m (118") sensing range (see Range specifications below)
• Choose dark or light operate models
• Choose models with NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) output
• 2-wire and 3-wire hookup; output load capacity to 50 mA
• Choice of integral cable or quick-disconnect pigtail
• Sensors may be purchased in pairs, or individually
VS2 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for precision sensing in small areas
previously accessible only to remote or fiber optic models. Typical applications include mounting
inside vibrating feeders and electronic component handling equipment.
