Connection/Pin Assignment

Dimensional Drawing

The sensor has a rectangular housing with overall dimensions of 16.2 mm (width) x 48.5 mm (height) x 31.8 mm (depth). It features an M18 threaded mounting system for nose or side mounting, with a range of 24.1 to 25.4 mm. A 4-pin M12 male connector is located at the top. The front face includes a yellow LED indicator for the status of the received light beam and a green LED indicator for power status. The housing also includes M3 mounting holes and a snap connection for a flush ring. A potentiometer for sensitivity adjustment is located on the right side of the sensor.

Dimensions

Adjustments Possible

The sensor features two potentiometers for adjustment: one on the right for sensitivity and one on the left, which is not used (None). A signal strength light bar is also present to indicate the status of the received light beam.

Characteristic Curve

This graph illustrates the operating reserve for infrared light as a function of distance. The Y-axis represents the operating reserve on a logarithmic scale (1 to 1000), and the X-axis represents the distance in millimeters (and inches). Three curves are shown: sensing range on black (6% remission), sensing range on gray (18% remission), and sensing range on white (90% remission).

Light Spot Size

This graph shows the light spot size for infrared light. The Y-axis indicates the diameter in millimeters (and inches), and the X-axis indicates the distance in millimeters (and inches). For example, at a distance of 50 mm, the spot size is approximately 8 mm; at 500 mm, it is approximately 65 mm; and at 1000 mm, it is approximately 135 mm.

Sensing Range Diagram

This diagram shows the sensing range for infrared light. The Y-axis represents the sensing range in millimeters, and the X-axis represents the distance in millimeters. It displays the maximum sensing range and the sensing range for different object reflectances: black (6% remission), gray (18% remission), and white (90% remission).

Functions

This diagram illustrates the sensor's operational functions, showing the minimum sensing range, the set switching point, and the maximum sensing range. It depicts how the sensor detects an object within its sensing field and triggers a switch.
