Miniature Self-Contained DC Sensors
ECONO-BEAM Non-Polarized Retroreflective Mode
Visible red, 650 nm
The 1/2" diameter effective beam of retroreflective model SE612LV, measured at 1' from the lens, makes it a good
choice for sensing relatively small objects when opposed sensing is not possible. The visible beam simplifies
alignment to the retroreflective target. Use the largest retroreflective target possible. If sensing materials with shiny
surfaces, scan at an angle of at least 10° to the shiny surface to minimize false light return (“proxing” effect).
Ideal for applications where the target’s reflectivity and profile are sufficient to return a large percentage of the
emitted light back to the sensor. Divergent diffuse model SE612W is particularly useful for sensing transparent or
translucent objects (clear plastic or glass) and for dependable sensing of irregular surface features; its excess gain
falls off sharply beyond 1". As a result, it may be used when it is necessary to ignore background objects.
