Overview
The Eaton E65-SMTS15-HAD is a compact SM series thru-beam photoelectric sensor transmitter engineered for industrial automation, manufacturing, and packaging applications. This dark operate photoelectric sensor features a through-beam component source, making it ideal for precision detection in control systems. The sensor emits a visible red LED sensing beam with a 660 nm wavelength and a range of up to 50 feet at a right angle to the length of the sensor.
Key Features
- Advanced 3-LED indicator display with 360° visibility; includes power and output status indication plus a TargetLock LED for setup optimization
- TargetLock system provides quick and easy setup, blinking in a short flash pattern when minimum signal is achieved
