Overview
The Eaton E65-SMTD15-HDD is a through-beam photoelectric sensor receiver from the E65 SM compact series. This receiver operates with a sensing distance of 15m, 10-30 VDC power supply, dark operation mode, and dual NPN/PNP open collector outputs in a quad 40 package with insulated material construction. The sensor features M12 connector, 100 mA maximum output, and includes bright indicator LEDs for power (green), output (red), and TargetLock (orange) status.
Key Features
- TargetLock™ Technology: Simplifies sensor setup while visually confirming positioning for reliable operation, and provides diagnostic information to inform of impending problems before equipment downtime
- Dark-Switching Operation: Enhances efficiency and accuracy of processes with dark-switching output control
- Visible Sensing Beam: Visible red sensing beam shows exactly where sensors are pointing
- Dual Output Mode: NPN and PNP open collector configuration on 4-pin M12 connector
- LED Status Indicators: Intuitive LED indicators for easy monitoring of operational states at a glance
- Industrial Protection: Full protection from overvoltage, reverse polarity, and short-circuits
