Datasensing FAR3/BN-1A Sensors

The Datasensing FAR3/BN-1A Sensors offer a comprehensive solution for precise object detection with their M18 design and 10...30 Vdc power supply. These sensors feature both axial and radial optics with a flat surface, making them versatile for various applications. The retro-reflective models are specifically designed for detecting transparent objects, utilizing a red LED emission and boasting an IP67 protection degree for robust performance in challenging environments. Available in both metallic and plastic housings, these sensors provide flexibility in installation and durability. With a nominal sensing distance of 100mm and a thermal drift of Sr at ?10% Sr, the FAR3/BN-1A ensures reliable performance. The sensors offer a repeat accuracy of 5% and come equipped with a trimmer for sensitivity adjustment, allowing for fine-tuning to meet specific needs. The diffuse reflection function principle supports short-distance detection up to 200mm, ideal for applications requiring precise proximity sensing. The sensors feature an NPN NO+NC output type, with a switching frequency of 250Hz and a rapid response time of 2ms, ensuring quick and accurate detection. They operate efficiently within a voltage range of 10…30VDC, with a no-load supply current of ? 30mA and a load current of ?100mA. The design includes short-circuit protection with autoreset, overvoltage, and reverse polarity protection, ensuring safety and reliability. Constructed with a nickel-plated brass housing and a PC cable exit, the sensors are built to withstand harsh conditions, with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +70°C. The IP67 degree of protection guarantees resistance to dust and water ingress, while the included nuts and screwdriver facilitate easy installation. The sensors are CE and cULus approved, meeting international standards for quality and safety.
