WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.
Models
To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. Models with a quick disconnect
(QD) connector require a mating cable.
Opposed-Mode Emitter (E) and Receiver (R) Models
Because of their extremely high excess gain, these opposed-mode sensors are an excellent option
for sensing in contaminated or dirty areas, and are also the best choice for long-range sensing.
