O5 Photoelectrics with Long Sensing Rangesifm efector’s compact O5 Series photoelectric sensor measures only 70mm x 18mm x 47mm and offers extremely long sensing ranges. The product line includes a background suppression unit with a sensing range of 1.8 meters, a polarized retro-reflective model with a sensing range of 7 meters, and a thru-beam pair that reaches up to 20 meters. O5 photoelectrics are 3-wire sensors that are directly compatible with bus systems and I/O blocks. Background suppression, polarized retro-reflective and thru-beamThe high-precision background suppression sensor is designed for inspection and error-proofing applications. The unit features a two-pushbutton Teach operation that quickly establishes light-on/dark-on programming. The sensor’s microprocessor provides automatic calibration and can differentiate between the target and the background with minimal distance between the two. Polarized and thru-beam models feature an adjustment-free, fixed sensing range for quick setup and are designed for larger, area applications.Rotatable connector and visible red beam for simple mountingVisible red light technology simplifies adjustment and maintains its visible beam throughout the entire sensing range. The sensor’s durable connector rotates 270° for alignment in multiple directions. A variety of easy-to-use brackets are available for versatile mounting.
