Overview
For industrial indoor use. Never use as a sensing device for personnel protection; do not use as a safety door switch. Consult the supplied catalogue and applicable operating instructions (pp.4,11). Through-beam set. P/D markings identify emitter/receiver labels; the catalogue does not list them as independent ordering codes, so separate component models are not generated.
Specifications
| Detection Mode | Through-beam |
|---|---|
| Sensing Range | 150 mmBetween the matched emitter and receiver. Full beam interruption is required. |
