Comet Series Sensors
Product Description
The Comet Series from
Eaton’s Electrical Sector is a
complete line of high
performance, 18 mm tubular
sensors with a variety of
models and modes to solve
virtually any sensing problem.
The sensors are available in
thru-beam, reflex, polarized
reflex, diffuse reflective,
focused diffuse reflective,
wide angle diffuse reflective,
Perfect Prox, fine spot
Perfect Prox and fiber optic
sensing. Perfect Prox is one
of the most powerful
problem-solving sensors
available. These sensors can
reliably detect targets of
different color, reflectance,
contrast or surface shape at
the same range, while
ignoring background objects
just a fraction of an inch away.
The Comet Series includes
AC/DC and DC-only models
with two-, three- and four-
wire circuitry. Choose from
cable or micro-connector.
Mini-connectors are available
on two-wire models for easy
retrofit. Each sensor features
a Light/Dark Operation switch
and a gain control to provide
for quick adjustment to peak
optical performance.
The unique threaded body
with flat sides allows quick
mounting in a 3/4 inch hole or
against any flat surface.
Internal components are
rigidly sealed in a solid
encapsulated package for
excellent performance in
high-vibration and high-shock
applications.
Features
●
Industry standard 18 mm
diameter threaded body
has flat sides allowing it to
be mounted like a tubular
sensor or against any flat
surface
●
Right Angle viewing
models mount in a depth
of only 6/10th of an inch
●
Perfect Prox technology
provides exceptional
background rejection and
application problem-solving
●
Visible sensing beams let
you see where the beam is
aimed for quick setup and
alignment
●
Solid polyurethane housing
completely encapsulates
internal circuits for high
resistance to shock and
vibration
●
Adaptable modulation
circuit provides immunity
to crosstalk from other
closely mounted sensors
●
The industry’s only
background rejection
sensors with a two-wire
circuit design
●
Models available with both
AC and DC operation in a
single unit—up to 264 Vac
●
Four-wire DC sensors offer
both NPN and PNP outputs
●
Output status indicator
visible from a wide 270°
angle
Standards and Certifications
●
UL Recognized
●
cUL Recognized
●
CE (except two-wire
DC models)
DANGER
THIS SENSOR IS NOT A
SAFETY DEVICE AND IS NOT
INTENDED TO BE USED AS A
SAFETY DEVICE. This sensor
is designed only to detect
and read certain data in an
electronic manner and
perform no use apart from
that, specifically no safety-
related use. This sensor
product does not include
self-checking redundant
circuitry, and the failure of
this sensor product could
cause either an energized
or de-energized output
condition, which could result
in death, serious bodily
injury, or property damage.
