## **Product Descri tion p** 

The PA18CLD.. is a family of inexpensive general purpose Diffuse-reflective sensors in industrial standard 18 mm cylindrical PBTP housing. They are useful for simple applications where a basic sensor provides adequate 

sensing performance. The sensors are simple to use and no adjustment are ne - cessary (except 400 mm diffuse adjustable type). The output is a 2-wire NO or NC thyristor (SCR) output.
