The 42DRU-5000 model from Allen Bradley is a sophisticated retroreflective sensor, offering precision and superior performance in sensing applications. It can detect objects at a distance of 10 meters (33 feet) utilizing an infrared (IR) LED with a wavelength of 880 nm as its light source.

This device operates on a supply voltage between 10 to 30V DC, with a typical operation at 24V DC. Users can select between NPN and PNP output types to best suit their application needs. The sensor is capable of sinking a maximum output current of 100 mA, ensuring reliable operation in various industrial environments. For output operation, it features a standard On/Off function that can be set to either Light On or Dark On modes based on the specific use case.

Designed for quick reaction to stimuli, the response time of the 42DRU-5000 sensor is a mere 1 millisecond. Housed in a robust Valox casing, it is built to endure fluctuating ambient conditions. Its operational design accommodates relative humidity levels from 5 to 95%, and its shock resistance rating is established at 30g, offering reliability in rugged settings. Additionally, the sensor can endure vibrations by functioning effectively between frequencies of 10 to 55 Hz with an amplitude of 1 mm. This combination of features makes the Allen Bradley 42DRU-5000 a dependable choice for various automation and detection applications.
