Pepperl+Fuchs 224000

The retroreflective sensor ML8-55/103/115 is engineered for standard applications with an effective detection range of 0 to 3 m and a threshold detection capability reaching 3.5 m. It utilizes a modulated visible red light source and includes a polarization filter to enhance performance. The sensor’s light spot diameter measures approximately 180 mm at a distance of 3.5 m, with an opening angle of about 3 degrees.

Electrical specifications indicate an operating voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and a maximum no-load supply current of less than 12 mA. The device features a dark-on switching type with a PNP output, which is both short-circuit and reverse polarity protected. The maximum switching current is 100 mA with a voltage drop of no more than 1.5 V DC, and it responds within 1.8 milliseconds.

In terms of mechanical durability, the sensor is classified with an IP67 protection degree, suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F) and storage temperatures from -40 to 75 °C (-40 to 167 °F). The housing is constructed from glass-fiber-reinforced Makrolon, while the optical face is made of PMMA. The device has a compact design with dimensions of 31 mm in height, 23 mm in width, and 11 mm in depth, weighing approximately 50 g.

The retroreflective sensor conforms to various standards, including EMC Directive 2004/108/EC and has UL approval. It is classified under ECLASS and ETIM identifiers, ensuring its compliance with industry stan... [Per saperne di più]
