Specifications

General

Supply Voltage

10 to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple)

Supply Current (Exclusive of Load Current)

Diffuse: 25 mA
Fixed-field: 35 mA
Opposed Mode Emitters: 25 mA
Opposed Mode Receivers: 20 mA
Retro, Non-polarized: 25 mA
Retro, Polarized: 30 mA

Supply Protection Circuitry

Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltag-
es

Indicators

Two LEDs (green and yellow)
Green glowing steadily: power to sensor is ON
Green flashing: output is overloaded
Yellow glowing steadily: normally open output is con-
ducting
Yellow flashing: excess gain marginal (1-1.5x) in light
condition

Construction

Housings: Stainless Steel
Lenses: Lexan® (opposed models) or acrylic

Connections

2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') attached cable, or 4-pin Euro-
style quick disconnect fitting

Outputs

Configuration

SPDT (complementary) solid-state dc switch; choose
NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) mod-
els.
Light operate: Normally open output conducts when the
sensor sees its own (or the emitter’s) modulated light
Dark operate: Normally closed output conducts when
the sensor sees dark; the normally closed output may
be wired as a normally open alarm output, depending
upon hookup to the power supply (U.S. patent
5087838)

Output Rating

150 mA maximum (each) in standard hookup; When
wired for alarm output, the total load may not exceed
150 mA
OFF-State Leakage Current: < 1 microamp at 30V dc
ON-State Saturation Voltage: < 1V at 10 mA dc; < 1.5V
at 150 mA dc

Output Protection Circuitry

Protected against false pulse on power-up and continu-
ous overload or short circuit of outputs

Output Response Time

Opposed mode: 3 milliseconds ON, 1.5 milliseconds
OFF
Polarized Retro, Non-polarized Retro, Fixed-field, and
Diffuse: 3 milliseconds ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs do
not conduct during this time

Repeatability

Opposed mode: 375 microseconds
Polarized Retro, Non-Polarized Retro, Fixed-field and
Diffuse modes: 750 microseconds
Repeatability and response are independent of signal
strength

Environmental

Rating

Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P, IP69K* (DIN 40050)

Vibration and Mechanical Shock

All models meet Mil. Std. 202F requirements.
Method 201A (Vibration; frequency 10 to 60 Hz, max.,
double amplitude 0.06" acceleration 10G).
Method 213B conditions H&I (Shock: 75G with unit op-
erating; 100G for non-operation)

* Cabled models meet IP69K if the cable is protected from high-
pressure spray

Operating Conditions

Temperature: -40° to +70°C (-40° to 158°F)
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-con-
densing)
