## **Features** ~~a~~ • Precise background suppression 

- Adjustable background suppression 

- Small, sharp light spot 

- Very small black-white difference 

- Highly visible LEDs for Power-On, switching status, short-circuit, and undervoltage 

- Metal-reinforced fastening holes 

- • Push-pull output 

## **Product information** es 

## **Pinout** 

- The ML6 series is characterized by a robust, powerful and standard design in a miniature housing. The housing offers IP67/IP69K degree of protection, a food-grade lens, highly visible LEDs and robust all-metal 2 4 bushings for mounting. Adjustable and tam1 3 per-proof sensors with a double push-pull output are available. The sensors have a high ambient light limit. Reflections from the background are suppressed. The unusually small, sharp light spot and the quick response time **Indicators/operating means** offer maximum switching precision on object ~~[~~ edges. Clearly visible red light sources facilitates alignment. A high-performance fixed OO 1 2 QQ0 3 4 1 0 5 focus background suppressor is a useful fea1 operating display green ture.
