• It includes 1x PNP multifunctional input (MF) for flexible control.
• The M12 5-pin male connector simplifies wiring in tight spaces.
• Reverse-polarity protection guards the sensor against wiring errors.

Key Functional Highlights

• Medium-range reflectorless measurement reaches up to 30 m on natural surfaces.
• High optical output power ensures reliable readings on dark and uncooperative targets.
• The robust cast aluminum housing resists severe industrial vibration and impact.
• A front panel display and keypad enable direct on-site setup and diagnostics.
• Adjustable switching hysteresis adapts the sensor to different material surfaces.

Installation Guide

• Mount the sensor on a stable bracket and align the laser beam perpendicular to the target surface.
• Connect the M12 5-pin connector to a DC 10 V to 30 V supply with correct polarity.
• Keep the ambient temperature within -10 °C to +45 °C during operation.
• Set switching thresholds and hysteresis through the front keypad before commissioning.
• Verify the IP65 seal and tighten the connector to prevent dust and water ingress.
• Avoid direct sunlight or reflective backgrounds that may disturb the laser beam.
