Can this sensor detect different colours?

Yes, the sensor can detect different colours, but the sensing range may vary with the colour and reflectivity of the target. It has a specified detection range for objects with different remission levels, such as 6% for black, 18% for grey, and 90% for white.

What type of light does this sensor use?

The sensor uses a visible red light with a wavelength of 650 nm for detection.

Is the sensor's output polarity protected?

Yes, the outputs of the sensor are polarity protected to prevent damage from incorrect wiring.

What are the dimensions of this sensor?

The dimensions of the sensor are 11 mm in width, 31 mm in height, and 20 mm in depth.

How is the sensor powered?

The sensor requires a supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC to operate effectively.

What is the function of the potentiometer on the sensor?

The potentiometer on the sensor is used for precise adjustment of the sensing range.

What type of connection does the sensor support?

The sensor supports an M8 3-pin connector for its electrical connection.

How can I tell if the sensor is functioning correctly?

The sensor has LED indicators; an orange LED indicates an active output, while a green LED shows the stability of the sensor.

What materials are recommended for the target objects?

The sensor is designed to detect objects of various materials, but performance is optimal when the target has a high reflectivity, such as standard white (90% remission) according to DIN 5033.
