Product Description
The KW715 series reflective assembly combines a GaAlAs LED and a Photologic sensor within an IR transmissive housing. It is designed to detect paper at 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) and offers a wide operating distance range capable of detecting reflective objects at various distances, dependent on the reflectivity of the material. These devices are ideal replacements for conventional mechanical limit switches where long life and reliability are crucial. The sensors feature a snap-mount design for 0.036-inch (0.914 mm) thick material with a 0.315" x 0.472" (8.0 mm x 12.0 mm) rectangular opening. The panel-mount plastic housing shields stray light and is terminated with 18" (457 mm) UL approved 26 AWG wire leads. The LED is internally current-limited for convenience. Output options include Totem-Pole or Open-Collector, with inverted output configurations available.
