Powerful infrared beam reliably senses objects of low reflectivity. Ideal for count-
ing the flow of radiused products at a fixed distance from the sensor.
Focus at 1.5 in. (38mm);
performance equal in all
program modes.

Fixed-field sensor heads have an emit-
ter element and two differently-aimed
receiver elements. This creates a
high-gain sensing field able to detect
objects of low reflectivity, and a sharp
far-limit sensing cutoff of 50mm (2
inches) or 100mm (4 inches) which
ignores backgrounds beyond cutoff.
These sensors are ideal for detecting a
part or surface that is only a fraction of
an inch in front of another surface.
RSBFFs may not be used with 2-wire
power blocks.

Excess Gain
Powerful visible red beam with precise .06" diameter sensing spot. Useful in many high-contrast color registration applications.
