The sensors also feature indication LEDs that are highly visible due to translucent housing material, allowing for 360° visibility. The indication LEDs provide continuous signal strength information, offering quick and simple troubleshooting. Short 0.5 ms response time handles fast processes where objects must be detected at high speeds. LEDs indicate if the sensor is wired for light or dark operate. A flat, smooth lens reduces the collection of dust and dirt for safe operation with minimized maintenance and cost. Comes in PNP and NPN versions with industry-standard 2 m cable and M12 connectivity.
