Overview
The Allen-Bradley 42EF-R9LDBV-F5 is a RightSight photoelectric sensor designed as a transmitted beam receiver unit for industrial automation and control systems. This receiver features a 5 Pin Micro QD connection on pigtail and 18 mm cylindrical mounting type, making it suitable for applications requiring precise object detection and monitoring.
Key Features
- Ultra-bright LEDs visible from 360° up to 7 m (23 ft) away for clear status indication during setup, operation and troubleshooting
- Visible red light source with industry-leading form factor featuring 18 mm threaded base and nose mount for flexible, easy-to-use sensing
- Rugged IP69K rated housing with improved high frequency ballast immunity for reliable sensing in tough industrial environments
- Short-circuit protection (SCP) on output leads intended to protect the sensor from damage in the event that the output load is shorted to ground
- DeviceNet output interface for direct industrial network connectivity
- Transmitted beam receiver configuration for through-beam detection mode
Technical Specifications
The following specifications apply to the 42EF-R9LDBV-F5:
- Output SCP limit: 100 mA over the entire voltage range for both DC and AC/DC models
- M18 mounting nut included: All RightSight sensors come with one thick 18 mm locknut (75012-097-01)
- Connection type: 5-pin micro QD on pigtail
- Torque specification: 20 in-lb maximum for M18 locknut installation
- Operating modes: Standard IO (SIO) mode and IO-Link compatible
- Housing rating: IP69K
Typical Applications
The 42EF-R9LDBV-F5 receiver is well-suited for:
- Parts detection and object counting on conveyors and assembly lines
- Presence/absence monitoring in automated manufacturing
- Process control and machine safety applications requiring reliable sensing
- Pharmaceutical, food processing, and packaging applications requiring IP69K protection
- Systems requiring real-time diagnostics and parameter access via IO-Link communication
