P/N 116164
Supply Voltage and Current
20 to 250V ac (50/60 Hz). Average current: 20 mA
Peak current: 200 mA at 20V ac, 500 mA at 120V ac, 750 mA at 250V ac
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: Output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the emitter’s)
modulated light
Dark Operate: Output conducts when the sensor sees dark
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: 3V at 300 mA ac; 2V at 15 mA ac
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up
Output Response Time
Opposed Mode: 16 milliseconds ON, 8 milliseconds OFF
Other Models: 16 milliseconds ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 milliseconds delay on power-up
Repeatability
Opposed Mode: 2 milliseconds
Other Models: 4 milliseconds
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
Adjustments
Non-polarized retro and diffuse models (only) have a single-turn rear-panel
Sensitivity control (turn clockwise to increase gain).
Indicators
Two LEDs (Green and Yellow)
Green ON steady: power to sensor is ON
Yellow ON steady: sensor sees light
Yellow flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5x) in light condition
Construction
PBT polyester housing; polycarbonate (opposed mode) or acrylic lens
Environmental Rating
Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P, DIN 40050 (IP69K)
Connections
2 m (6.5') attached cable, or 4-pin Micro-style quick-disconnect fitting
Operating Conditions
Temperature: -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F);
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock
All models meet Mil. Std. 202F requirements. Method 201A (Vibration;
frequency 10 to 60 Hz, max., double amplitude 0.06" acceleration 10G).
Method 213B conditions H&I (Shock: 75G with unit operating; 100G for
non-operation)
