The Allen Bradley 42KL-D1TC-A2 is a photoelectric sensor characterized by its diffuse sensing mode. This device operates effectively across a voltage spectrum of 21.6 to 264 VAC/DC. Engineered for reliability, the sensor employs an LED light source producing infrared light at a wavelength of 880 nm. Its illumination is continuous, allowing for stable performance in various environments.
With a maximum sensing distance of up to 380 mm, the sensor maintains precise detection over this range. It features a narrow beam angle of 5 degrees, facilitating targeted sensing in constrained areas. The lens is made from a blend of PMMA, acrylic, Perspex, and Plexiglas, providing a robust and clear optical path.
Panel mounting is the preferred installation method for this sensor, which is designed for straight-through orientation. This model features an M18 x 1 threaded size for secure attachment. It also offers selectable switching modes, allowing operation in either light or dark modes, based on application requirements. The load current capability is rated at 0.1 A, supporting efficient operation in various applications.
