Overview
The Eaton E65-SMTD15-HDD is a thru-beam photoelectric receiver from the SM Series compact sensor family. This receiver unit is designed to work in tandem with a compatible transmitter to provide robust detection in industrial automation applications. Operating on 10-30 VDC with a 15m sensing range, the sensor features dark-operate logic and supports both NPN and PNP open collector outputs.
Key Features
- TargetLockâ„¢ technology simplifies sensor setup and visually confirms proper positioning while providing diagnostic information during use to prevent equipment downtime
- Visible sensing beam shows exactly where the sensors are pointing for quick installation verification
- M12 4-pin connector with 100 mA maximum output current and NPN/PNP open collector configuration
- Compact rectangular shape with 1 ms response time and 2 W power consumption
- NEMA 1/3/4/4X/6/6P/12/13 and IP68/IP69K rated enclosure for harsh industrial environments
