These High Performance Sensors Have the Versatility to Solve All of Your Sensing Problems

The Comet Series from Eaton's electrical business is a complete line of high performance, 18 mm tubular sensors with a variety of models and modes to solve virtually any sensing problem.

The sensors are available in thrubeam, reflex, polarized reflex, diffuse reflective, focused diffuse reflective, wide angle diffuse reflective, Perfect ProxR, fine spot Perfect ProxR and fiber optic sensing. Perfect ProxR is one of the most powerful problem-solving sensors available. These sensors can reliably detect targets of different color, reflectance, contrast or surface shape at the same range, while ignoring background objects just a fraction of an inch away.

The Comet Series includes AC/DC and DC-only models with 2-, 3- and 4-wire circuitry. Choose from cable or microconnector. Mini-connectors are available on 2-wire models for easy retrofit. Each sensor features a Light/ Dark Operation switch and a gain control to provide for quick adjustment to peak optical performance.

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 highvibration and high-shock applications.

Product Features

• Industry standard 18 mm diameter threaded body has flat sides allowing it to be mounted like a tubular sensor or against any flat surface
• Right-angle viewing models mount in a depth of only 6/10th of an inch
• Perfect ProxR technology provides exceptional background rejection and application problem-solving
• Visible sensing beams let you see where the beam is aimed for quick setup and alignment
• Solid polyurethane housing completely encapsulates internal circuits for high resistance to shock and vibration
• Adaptable modulation circuit provides immunity to crosstalk from other closely mounted sensors
• The industry's only background rejection sensors with a 2-wire circuit design
• Models available with both AC and DC operation in a single unit . up to 264 volts AC!
• 4-wire DC sensors offer both NPN and PNP outputs
• Output status indicator visible from a wide 270<°> angle

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.
