Datasheet

Next Generation of Self-Contained dc-Operated Sensors

•

Complete family of sensors, all housed in the compact right angle 18 mm threaded housing

designed for long service life in wet environments

•

ECO-Lab certified chemically robust epoxy encapsulated plastic sensors for wash-down

applications typically found in the food and beverage industry

•

Epoxy encapsulation of electronics provides a redundant seal in addition to plastic ultrasonic

weld joints for maximum reliability in wet thermal shock environments

•

Permanent laser etched product marking will not wear off after repeated cleaning cycles

•

Food grade plastic materials used for all exposed surfaces

•

Hygienic shape for easier cleaning of the sensor

•

Powerful and bright visible red emitter beam for easy alignment and set-up

•

Highly visible output and dual-function power and stability indicators

•

Advanced ASIC technology makes sensor resistant to optical and electrical noise source

•

Wide operating temperature range: –40 °C to +70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F)

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or

death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in

personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized

sensor output condition.

Models

Integral 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect models are listed.

•

To order the 2 m (6 ft) cable model, replace the suffix "-Q8" with "-2M".

•

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, replace the suffix "-Q8" with "-9M".

Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.
