## **Photoelectrics Diffuse-reflective Type PA18ALD04T.., AC, Metal-housing** - **Range: 400 mm adjustable** - **Modulated, infrared light** - **Supply voltage: 20 to 250 VAC** - **Output: 500 mA SCR** - **Make or break switching function, LED indication** - **High immunity to ambient light** - **Heavy duty M18 metal housing, IP67** - **Cable and plug versions** ## **Product Descri tion p** The PA18ALD.. is a family of general purpose diffusereflec tive sensors in industrial standard 18 mm cylindrical nickel-plated brass housing for heavy duty applications. They are useful for simple applications where a basic sensor pro vides adequate sensing performance. The sensors are easy to adjust with 270° single-turn poten - tio meter. The output is a 2- wire NO or NC thyristor (SCR) output. **Ordering Key PA18ALD04TOM6SA Type Housing style Housing size Housing material Housing length** ~~——ai~~ **Detection principle Sensing distance Output type Output configuration Connection type Adjustable** ## **T e Selection yp** **Housing Rated Ordering no.
