The background suppression sensor utilizes a fiber-optic design, facilitating a compact form factor ideal for constrained spaces. It operates with a detection range of 0.9 to 2.2 mm, extending to a maximum of 4 mm, and is equipped to suppress backgrounds starting from 4 mm. The sensor emits modulated infrared light at a wavelength of 870 nm, ensuring reliable performance across various surfaces.

In terms of operational precision, the sensor exhibits a switching accuracy of less than 0.5 mm for black surfaces and a repeat accuracy of less than 0.1 mm for white surfaces. Its light spot diameter measures 2 mm at the maximum sensor range of 2.2 mm, with an opening angle of approximately 24 degrees.

The device is compliant with several standards, including the EMC Directive and IEC standards, ensuring robustness against environmental stress factors. The sensor is rated IP65, indicating its suitability for harsh conditions, and can operate within an ambient temperature range of -20 to 60 °C. Its compact dimensions of 14 mm in height, 12 mm in width, and 20 mm in length contribute to its practicality.

For integration, the sensor features a fixed 2-meter cable with a 4-pin flat connector, designed for compatibility with SU100 or SU180 Series control interface units. This sensor, designated as ML10-8-H-3,2-IR/115e, is engineered for applications requiring precise distance measurement and background suppression.
