Overview
The Eaton E65-SMTS15-HAD is a thru-beam photoelectric sensor transmitter from the compact SM Series, engineered for high-reliability industrial automation and motion control. This unit delivers a 49 Ft. (15 m) sensing distance with polycarbonate lens, PVC cable jacket, and Cycoloy enclosure, operating on 10-30 VDC input through a 4-pin M12 connector. The thru-beam transmitter architecture is ideal for washdown environments and applications requiring long sensing ranges.
Key Features
- Emits visible red LED sensing beam with 660 nm wavelength and 50-foot maximum range
- Advanced 3-LED indicator display (power, output, and TargetLock) for quick setup and real-time operational feedback
- Bright LED indicators visible from 360°
- IP 69K rated for protection against water under pressure and dust; UL and CE compliant
- 1.0 millisecond response time and 500 Hz operating frequency for fast sensing cycles
- TargetLock LED indicates maintenance needs before sensor failure
