Overview
The Eaton 13150RL07 Prism photoelectric sensor is a compact diffuse reflective unit designed for industrial automation and motion control applications. This right-angle viewing sensor features an 8-inch (200 mm) sensing range, infrared beam, and 10-30 Vdc operation with connector-based connection, NPn or PNP output, and light-operate switching. The Prism Series delivers proven reliability in detection tasks where objects or material presence must be confirmed without mechanical contact.
Key Features
- Diffuse reflective sensing mode—detects objects by reflected light without requiring a separate retroreflector
- Right-angle viewing orientation for compact mounting in confined spaces
- NPn and PNP output options for flexible PLC and controller integration
- Infrared beam provides consistent performance across a range of target colors and materials
- Light-operate mode activates output when light is received at the sensor lens
- Connector interface for quick field replacement and wiring simplification
