Overview
The Honeywell 922AC2XM-A3N-L is a compact retroreflective photoelectric proximity sensor from Honeywell’s Microswitch product line. This sensor uses mini-beam technology to detect objects at distances up to 5 meters, making it ideal for production lines, packaging equipment, and material handling systems where reliable presence detection is critical. Its NPN output configuration and 10-30 VDC supply voltage integrate seamlessly into existing industrial control networks.
Key Features
- Mini-beam retroreflective sensing technology for long-range detection
- 5-meter maximum sensing distance for flexible mounting options
- 10-30 VDC supply voltage compatible with most industrial controllers
- NPN output (Normally Open) for standard PLC/controller integration
- Compact form factor designed for space-constrained applications
- Proven Honeywell/Microswitch reliability in harsh industrial environments
