## **PD30CNP50xxPS** 

## **Photoelectrics, Polarized retro-reflective - PointSpot** 

## **Main features** 

- Miniature sensor range 

- PointSpot light source 

- Sensing range: 5 m 

- Sensitivity adjustment by potentiometer 

- Modulated, red light 621 nm 

- Supply voltage: 10 to 30 VDC 

- Output: 100 mA, NPN or PNP preset 

- Make and break switching function 

- LED indication for output, stability and power ON 

- Protection: reverse polarity, short circuit and transients 

- Cable and plug versions 

- Excellent EMC performance 

- Easy mounting since only the sensor must be aligned 

- with the reflector 

- Power supply necessary only on one side of the application 

## **Main functions** 

## **Description** 

The PD30CNP50... sensor family comes in a compact 10 x 30 x 20 mm ABS housing. 

They are designed for use in applications where a compact lightbeam without "halo" light is required to assure a high sensing performance. 

- Detects presence or absence of objects that cut off  light reflected from a reflector 

- The polarized light makes it possible to detect highly 

- reflecting objects 

- The PointSpot light source removes halo light and increases detection reliability. 

The potentiometer function for adjustment of the sensitivity makes the sensors highly flexible. The output types NPN or PNP feature both N.O. and N.C. output.
