Overview
The Eaton E65-SMTS15-HAD is a miniature thru-beam photoelectric sensor designed for industrial automation and control applications. This transmitter unit emits a visible red LED sensing beam optimized for reliable object detection in manufacturing, packaging, and washdown environments. The E65-SMTS15-HAD combines compact cylindrical construction with a durable thermoplastic housing and IP69K environmental protection, making it an economical choice for OEM and retrofit integration.
Key Features
- Visible Red LED Beam: 660 nm wavelength for easy alignment and setup visibility
- TargetLock LED System: Three-LED indicator display (power, output, TargetLock) visible from 360° for simplified commissioning and maintenance diagnostics
- High Operating Frequency: 500 Hz response for fast object detection in high-speed conveyor and motion control applications
- Selectable Operating Modes: Light-on or dark-on configuration via gain adjustment
- Robust Environmental Rating: IP69K protection against water spray under pressure and dust; UL and CE compliant
- Quick-Disconnect Connector: 4-pin micro DC-style QD connector with 2-meter PVC cable for plug-and-play field installation
