What type of sensor is the CX-424?

The CX-424 is a through-beam photoelectric sensor with a transmitter unit that emits light detected by a separate receiver. Any object blocking the beam triggers the output.

Can it detect dark or shiny objects?

Yes. Through-beam sensors are unaffected by object color, surface finish, or reflectivity—they detect anything blocking the light beam.

What is the typical sensing distance?

The CX-424 offers approximately 0.5 to 2 meters detection range depending on optical alignment and ambient lighting conditions.

Is it suitable for wet environments?

Yes. With IP67 rating, the CX-424 is sealed against dust and water immersion, ideal for washdown and outdoor industrial applications.

How does the 10-30V DC rating help?

The wide voltage tolerance ensures stable operation across different power supplies and accommodates voltage drops in long cable runs or aging systems.

What connector does it use?

The CX-424 uses an M12 connector, the industrial standard for plug-and-play installation and hot-swapping.
