The 42DRF-5400 from Allen Bradley operates as an efficient analog photoelectric sensor designed for both retroreflective and diffuse control applications. Capable of detecting up to 4.6 meters (15 feet) in total and 4.0 meters (13 feet) in linear range, this sensor provides a wide operational capability suited for various environments.

It employs a visible red LED light source emitting at a wavelength of 660 nm, though an infrared LED variant exists that functions at 880 nm for alternative applications. The device features a response time of 100 ms, which is the duration required for the sensor to complete its analog swing. Users can select between an analog output of either 1-20 mA current or 1-10 V DC voltage, making it adaptable to different system requirements.

Operating within a supply voltage range of 22 to 28 V DC, the sensor exhibits a current draw of a maximum of 70 mA. The field of view measures at a narrow detection angle of 3°, allowing for precise and focused sensing capabilities.

The 42DRF-5400 is built to endure tough conditions, withstanding shocks up to 30 G to meet IEC 947-5-2 standards. It also endures vibrations from 10 to 55 Hz with a 1 mm amplitude, maintaining its performance in demanding situations. This makes it a robust choice for applications requiring durability and reliability.
