It emits a focused red LED beam to detect targets within a fixed 16 mm sensing range without requiring a reflector. The sensor incorporates a thermoplastic housing with an acrylic lens and is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X for dependable performance in harsh industrial environments. Featuring a teach button with remote teach capability and a 5-wire cable connection, it allows straightforward configuration and integration into PLC-based control systems. Key Features:  Convergent Optical Sensing: Fixed-field detection up to 16 mm for precise object recognition. Bipolar Output (NPN/PNP): Supports Dark-ON and Light-ON configurations for flexible wiring. Visible Red LED (650 nm): Provides accurate target detection with clear beam alignment. Fast Response Time (0.5 ms): Suitable for high-speed automation processes. Teach Button & Remote Teach: Simplifies setup and sensitivity adjustment. IP67 & NEMA 4X Rated: Designed for industrial environments with dust and moisture exposure. M18 Threaded Mount: Ensures secure installation in brackets or panels. 2 m Cable Connection: Pre-wired for direct integration into control systems. The SME312CV delivers the reliability and precision required for compact, high-speed object detection in industrial automation applications.
