Overview
The Eaton 11100RQD07 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor source from Eaton’s Comet series. This 18mm tubular sensor functions as the transmitter in a through-beam detection pair, emitting a visible red sensing beam for alignment visibility. Operating on 10-30 Vdc, it connects via M12 4-pin connector and is engineered for industrial automation, material handling, and machine control applications.
Key Features
- 18mm tubular sensor with flat-sided housing for flexible mounting
- Through-beam source (transmitter) paired with Comet 12100-series detectors
- Visible red sensing beam for quick setup and alignment
- Solid polyurethane housing resists shock, vibration, and environmental stress
- M12 4-pin connector with 8-inch pigtail cable
- Adaptable modulation circuit prevents crosstalk on closely-mounted sensors
