Polarized retroreflective models: 30 mA (normally closed) output may be wired as a normally open marginal signal alarm output, depending upon wiring to power supply (U.S. patent 5087838) Fixed-field models: 35 mA **Output Rating Supply Protection Circuitry** 150 mA maximum (each) in standard wiring. When wired for alarm output, the Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages total load may not exceed 150 mA. **Indicators** OFF-state leakage current: < 1 microamp at 30 V dc Two LEDs (green and amber): ON-state saturation voltage: < 1 V at 10 mA dc; < 1.5 V at 150 mA dc Green on: power to sensor is on **Output Protection Circuitry** Green flashing: output is overloaded Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short Amber on: N.O. output is conducting circuit of outputs Amber flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5×) in light condition **Output Response Time Construction** Opposed mode models: 3 ms ON, 1.5 ms OFF Housing: PBT polyester housing Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 3 ms ON and OFF Lens: polycarbonate (opposed-mode) or acrylic (other models) NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time. **Connections Repeatability** 2 m (6.5 ft) integral cable; 9 m (30 ft) integral cable; or 4-pin M12/Euro-style Opposed mode models: 375 μs quick-disconnect fitting Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 750 μs Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength. ## **Operating Conditions** - −40 °C to +70 °C (−40 °F to +158 °F) 90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing) **Environmental Rating** Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P and IEC IP67 per IEC 60529 IP69K per DIN40050 for quick disconnect and cable models when the cables are protected from direct spray ## **Vibration and Mechanical Shock** All models meet Mil.
