## **Product Descri tion p** 

The PE12CNT. is a family of general purpose Photoelectric  sensors. 

housing can be mounted with a wall thickness from 0.6 mm to 2.25 mm. The emitter has a mute input to turn it off for evaluation of the sensor function. Available in 10-30 VDC version. 

They are specially designed for Elevators, Escalators, Entrance control to meet the requirements in the door market. The “snap-on”
