Features

Make sure to use safety light curtains when using a sensing device for personnel protection.

Utilizes a large, bright, clearly visible job indicator

The ultra compact body incorporates a job indicator approx. 50 mm 1.969 in tall.
Due to its brightness and high visibility, it is now possible to check sensor operation even from a distance.

No synchronization wires required

Synchronization wires are not required, due to the utilization of a synchronized scanning system that results in a reduction of wiring man-hours. In addition, the sensors can be switched among three different emission frequencies, allowing up to three sets of sensors to be installed closely together in the same vertical plane, without causing mutual interference. Even when installed in multistage shelving, malfunctions due to mutual interference will not occur. (When mounted horizontally, a maximum of two sensor sets may be used side-by-side, without interference.)

Switchable output operation

Output operation can be switched to suit the desired application.

Sensor protection brackets are available

Sensor protection brackets are now available (optional), to protect sensors from damage due to tools and other objects. The protection brackets have a black coating, which enhances the visual effectiveness of the job indicator.

Easy alignment

The sensor’s beam axis is directly in line with the mounting holes, making sensor alignment easier.
Mounting can be performed simply by using M4 nuts.

Flexible cable orientation

The cabling can be oriented in either of the two different directions: downward or sideways, thus permitting a flexible layout, in accordance with the sensor’s mounting position.
