## Specifications 

Supply Voltage and Current 20 V AC to 250 V AC (50/60 Hz). Average current: 20 mA 

Peak current: 200 mA at 20 V AC, 500 mA at 120 V AC, 750 mA at 250 V AC 

## Output Response Time 

Opposed mode: 16 milliseconds ON, 8 milliseconds OFF Other models: 16 milliseconds ON and OFF 

NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up 

## Supply Protection Circuitry 

## Protected against transient voltages 

## Output Configuration 

SPST solid-state ac switch; Three-wire hookup; Choose light operate or dark operate models 

Light Operate: N.O. output conducts when the sensor sees its own (or the emitter's) modulated light 

Dark Operate: Output conducts when the sensor sees dark 

## Sensing Beam 

Opposed mode models: Infrared, 950 nm Polarized retroreflective mode models: Visible red, 680 nm Fixed-field mode models: Infrared, 880 nm 

## Output Rating 

- 300 mA maximum (continuous) 

Fixed-Field models: derate 5 mA/°C above +50°C (122°F) Inrush Capability: 1 amp for 20 milliseconds, non-repetitive OFF-state leakage current: < 100 microamps 

ON-state saturation voltage: 3 V at 300 mA ac; 2 V at 15 mA ac 

## Repeatability 

Opposed mode: 2 milliseconds 

Other modes: 4 milliseconds 

Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength 

Indicators 

Two LEDs (Green and Amber) 

Green ON: power to the sensor is ON 

Amber ON: sensor sees light 

- Amber flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5x) in light conditions 

## Connections 

- 2 m (6.5 ft) cable, 9 m (30 ft) cable, or 4-pin 1/2 in-20UNF (1/2-in Dual Key) quick-disconnect fitting, depending on the model 

## Construction 

PBT polyester housing; polycarbonate (opposed mode) or acrylic lens
