High Performance 18 mm Tubular Sensors with a Flexible Isolated Output

The Prism Series from Eaton's electrical business is a cost-effective line of miniature photoelectric sensors with twice the optical gain of other sensors in this product class. Forward and rightangle viewing models feature identical gain and optical characteristics for the best fit on your machine. A gain control allows quick adjustment for peak optical performance in a variety of applications.

Four sensing modes are available, including polarized reflex to eliminate reliability problems when sensing shiny objects. Visible red sensing beams throughout the Prism Series allow you to see exactly where the sensors are aimed for easier setup. Models are available preconfigured in either Light or Dark Operate modes.

The unique threaded body with flat sides allows quick mounting in a 3/4 inch hole or against any flat surface. Internal components are rigidly sealed in a solid encapsulated package for excellent performance in high-vibration and high-shock applications.

Product Features

• Small size for use in a wide variety of applications and locations
• High sensing power for longer ranges and resistance to dust and dirt
• Adjustable gain control to ensure peak optical performance
• High noise immunity which greatly reduces problems associated with electrical noise
• AC/DC models which allow you to order and stock one model for both voltages
• DC only models which offer lower cost options in all sensing modes
• Isolated outputs for wiring flexibility
• Short circuit protection
• Quick 3 mS response time on all models
• Highly visible output status LED
• Built-in cable models allow for lowest cost wiring
• Micro-connector models provide for quick installation or replacement
• Custom cable length options

Product Comparison

Eaton's cost-effective Prism Series, OEM Prism and premium Comet Series all share the same 18 mm flatsided housing. This results in the largest interchangeable sensor family available, allowing you to select from well over 250 different models to solve the widest variety of sensing applications.

OEM Prism Series

High Performance 18 mm Tubular Sensors Packaged for High Volume Users

The OEM Prism Series from Eaton's electrical business is very similar to our standard cost-effective Prism Series and has been optimized for high volume OEM use. In place of the isolated output found in the standard models, the OEM Prism features dual or single discrete outputs for simple wiring. In addition, OEM Prism sensors are shipped bulk packaged for easier handling by both the receiver and the installer. Forward and rightangle viewing models feature identical gain and optical characteristics for the best fit on your machine. A gain control allows quick adjustment for peak optical performance in a variety of applications. Both diffuse reflective and polarized reflex models are available.

All models are 10 . 30V DC only to meet the evolving needs of your customers. Polarized reflex units eliminate reliability problems when sensing shiny objects. Visible red sensing beams allow you to see exactly where the sensors are aimed for easier setup. Models are available preconfigured in either Light or Dark Operate modes.

The unique threaded body with flat sides allows quick mounting in a 3/4 inch hole or against any flat surface. Internal components are rigidly sealed in a solid encapsulated package for excellent performance in high-vibration and high-shock applications.

Product Features

• Small size for use in a wide variety of applications and locations
• Sensors are shipped bulk-packed for the convenience of high volume users
• High sensing power for longer ranges and resistance to dust and dirt
• Adjustable gain control to ensure peak optical performance
• High noise immunity, which greatly reduces problems associated with electrical noise
• NPN and PNP outputs provided in a single sensor for simple wiring
• Short circuit protection
• Quick 1.2 mS response time
• Output status LED is highly visible from a wide 300‹ angle
• Cable models allow for lowest cost wiring
• Micro-connector models provide for quick installation or replacement
• Custom cable length options
