M18 diffuse photoelectric sensor ODP1-18.20.FKTL

The presented M18/L photoelectric diffuse sensor is used for operation in a wide range of ambient light - from dark to direct sunlight without changing its sensitivity and operating distance (Sn). It is designed for switching direct current electrical circuits. The optical sensor emits modulated ray of light, which is reflected by the passing (coming near) object and returns back to the sensor. When an object passes in front of the sensor active surface its output switches from one state to another. Nominal switching distance of the sensor is measured by the help of white cardboard with size 100x100 mm. When there is object in front of the sensor, the output indicator is on. The optical sensor has a potentiometer for adjusting the maximum action distance Sn.

The M18/L diffuse optoelectronic sensor is used in industrial systems, as electronic automation equipment for switching at 3-wire and 4-wire electrical circuits of direct current. When an object passes in front of the active part of the optical sensor, its output switches. The diffuse photoelectric sensor there is a longer period of work due to contactless switching of the electrical circuits in which is included.
