Specifications
Supply Voltage and Current
10 V dc to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple), at less than 50 mA
(exclusive of load)
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Configuration
Bipolar: one current sourcing (PNP) and one current sinking (NPN)
open-collector transistor
Output Rating
250 mA maximum each output up to 50 °C, derated to 150 mA at
70 °C (derates 5 mA/°C)
Off-state leakage current less than 1 µA
Output saturation voltage (both outputs) less than 1 V at 10 mA and
less than 2 V at 250 mA
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or
short circuit of outputs
Output Response Time
Opposed mode: 2 milliseconds ON, 1 millisecond OFF
All other sensing modes: 2 milliseconds ON/OFF
NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up.
Output is non-conducting during this time.
Repeatability
Opposed mode: 0.25 milliseconds
All other sensing modes: 0.5 milliseconds
Response time and repeatability specifications are independent of
signal strength.
Adjustments
Beneath sensor’s transparent cover: Light/Dark Operate select switch
and multi-turn Sensitivity control (allows precise sensitivity setting –
turn clockwise to increase gain). Optional logic and logic/display
modules have adjustable timing functions (see Output Timing Logic and
Signal Strength Display Modules on page 9)
Indicators
Indicator LEDs are clearly visible beneath a raised transparent Lexan
®
dome on top of the sensor.
Power (green) LED lights whenever 10 V dc to 30V dc power is applied,
and flashes to indicate output overload or output short circuit
Signal (red) AID
™
System LED lights whenever the sensor sees its
modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the
strength of the received light signal
Load (amber) LED lights whenever the output is energized
Optional 7-element LED signal strength display modules
Construction
Molded reinforced thermoplastic polyester housing, o-ring-sealed
transparent Lexan

cover, molded acrylic lenses, and stainless steel
hardware. Designed to withstand 1200 psi washdown. The base of the
cabled models has a ½-inch NPS integral internal conduit thread.
Environmental Rating
NEMA 6, IEC IP67
Connections
PVC-jacketed 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cables; or 4-pin Mini-style
(“Q” suffix models) or 4-pin Euro-style (“Q5” suffix models) quick-
disconnect (QD) fittings are available. QD cables are ordered
separately.
Operating Conditions
Temperature: −40 °C to +70 °C (−40 °F to +158 °F)
90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing)
Application Notes
Optional output timing modules are available. See Output Timing Logic
and Signal Strength Display Modules on page 9.
