PMRRC-18M12 Tri-Tronics MINI-EYE Sensor

Sku#: PMRRC-18M12

Contact us for availability.
The Tri-Tronics PMRRC-18M12 MINI-EYE™ sensor has the following: Polarized Retroreflective, Red LED Light Source, PNP Output Transistor, M12 4-pin connector, 18mm housing. Maximum Sensing range is 6' (1.8m) or 15' (4.6m) when used with an AR82 High Performance Reflector.

The Tri-Tronics MINI-EYE sensors are low in cost and high in value.  Tri-Tronics MINI-EYE™ is a full line of very economical, miniature photoelectric sensors for general sensing tasks. The rugged MINI-EYE™ sensors are waterproof and enclosed in high-impact plastic housings for use in hostile environments. They are also immune to indirect ambient light and strobes. They are great for material handling, sorting, web break detection, counting, inspection, orientation...and much more!

MINI-EYE™ sensors offer a selection of thru-beam, polarized retroreflective and proximity modes, Class 1 red laser, infrared (IR) or red LED light sources, and your choice of NPN or PNP output transistors. All models are available in front or 18 mm mounting, with quick disconnect or potted cables, and operate in either Light "ON" or Dark "ON" sensing modes.

SENSING MODES
Proximity, Retroreflective, Polarized Retroreflective and Thru-beam models.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Single turn potentiometer.
COMPACT VERSITAL HOUSING
Select from a compact front mount version that is only a 1/2 in. deep and .74 in. wide or 18mm threaded version with side mounting holes.
LIGHT/DARK OPERATION
Light/Dark operation is selected by wire.
PERFORMANCE
600us (1.1ms, thru-beam) speed of responce. Polarized retroreflective range is 12ft. no proxing off shinny surfaces.  Thru-beam range is 65ft.
CONNECTION
Quick disconnect M8,  M12 4-PIN pigtail connector or a 6’ (1.8 m) 4-wire cable.
