The Allen Bradley 42RLU-4000B is a photoelectric sensor tailored for applications requiring accurate distance measurement and object detection. Integrating advanced technology, this unit can sense objects effectively at a distance of 35 feet. It employs a reliable infrared LED transmitter operating at a wavelength of 940 nm, ensuring excellent performance even in varied lighting conditions.
This photoelectric sensor stands out as both a long-range and retroflective sensor, making it suitable for numerous industrial environments. Designed with an efficient field of view of 1.5 degrees, it allows for targeted sensing, minimizing the chance of false positives from unintended interruptions. The sensor features screw terminal connections for easy installation and seamless integration into existing systems.
With its robust output capabilities, the 42RLU-4000B incorporates an EM relay (double pole double throw, or DPDT) which enables flexibility in application. Users have the option to select between light or dark output modes, tailoring the sensor’s functionality to their specific needs. Operating within a voltage range of 102 to 132V AC and at a frequency of 50/60 Hz, it consumes a compact 2 VA of power. This design makes it not only efficient but also reliable for prolonged use in various environments.
