The retroreflective sensor, designated as ML4.2-54-F/40b/110/115b, is engineered for complex applications with its compact design and advanced features. It offers an effective detection range of 0 to 5 m and a threshold detection range extending to 6 m, utilizing a modulated visible red light source at 660 nm.

Designed with a polarization filter, this sensor achieves a maximum angle deviation of ±1° and produces a light spot diameter of approximately 40 mm at a detection range of 1 m. The sensor operates effectively even in high ambient light conditions, tolerating continuous light levels up to 40,000 Lux and modulated light levels of 5,000 Lux.

The device operates within a voltage range of 10 to 30 V DC and features a no-load supply current of less than 20 mA at 24 V DC. Its push-pull output is short-circuit and reverse polarity protected, supporting a maximum switching voltage of 30 V DC and a current of up to 100 mA. The sensor operates at a frequency of 1 kHz with a response time of 500 µs.

This retroreflective sensor complies with various standards, including EN 60947-5-2:2007 and IEC 60947-5-2:2007, and is rated for shock and impact resistance according to IEC / EN 60068. It features a robust IP67/IP69K protection class, ensuring reliability in challenging environments.

Operating within a temperature range of -20 to 60 °C (-4 to 140 °F) and a storage temperature range of -20 to 75 °C (-4 to 167 °F), the sensor is built with an... [Read more]
