What is the maximum sensing distance of the PS2-61?

The PS2-61 has a maximum sensing distance of approximately 300mm, depending on target material color and surface reflectivity.

Does the PS2-61 require a reflector?

No, the PS2-61 uses diffuse-reflection technology, so it detects objects without needing an external reflector or retroreflector.

What output options are available?

The PS2-61 is available with NPN or PNP transistor outputs for flexible integration with various PLC and control systems.

What is the response time?

The sensor features a response time of ≤1ms, enabling high-speed detection and synchronization with fast-moving production lines.

Is the PS2-61 suitable for washdown environments?

Yes, the IP65 rating provides protection against water jets and dust, making it suitable for washdown and wet manufacturing environments.

What connector type does the PS2-61 use?

The PS2-61 features an M12 5-pin connector, a standard industrial connector compatible with most automation control systems.

Can the PS2-61 detect transparent materials?

Diffuse sensors like the PS2-61 work best with opaque and semi-opaque materials; detection of transparent materials may require alternative sensor types.
