Description
The 42JS VisiSight™ family of sensors offers a full range of sensing
modes in miniature rectangular housing. Visible light source is offered
in all models for ease of alignment. Additional transmitted beam
infrared status-indicator source models are offered for excellent
crosstalk immunity.
The 42JS VisiSight family provides an indication if the sensor operation
is unstable. An indicator flashes if the signal level is too close to the
detection threshold. This indicator helps in easy alignment of the sensor
and forewarns against detection of a background.
Features
• Visible light source that is offered on all models for ease of
alignment
• Optional snap-on adapter for 18 mm mounting
• Patented ASIC design offers linear sensitivity adjustment,
stability indication, and excellent noise immunity
• Compact sealed housing and cavity-free design to minimize
collection of dust and debris while allowing for easy sensor
cleanup
• Threaded metal M12 or M8 connector on pigtail
• 360° visible status indicators
• Additional transmitted beam models available with Infrared
light source for excellent cross talk immunity
• Input to disable light source on transmitted beam emitter
