Functions and operating principle

The sensor operates on the diffuse reflection principle — the light beam reflects off the object’s surface and returns to the receiver.
Adjustable sensitivity (single-turn potentiometer) allows precise detection range setting, while the visible red light spot makes alignment easy during installation.
360° LED indicator enables convenient status monitoring from any direction.

Application

For home users or craftsmen: Suitable for object detection in workshops or small automation projects.
For engineers / automation specialists: Ideal for use in production, sorting, packaging, conveyor, and transport systems, as well as robotics applications requiring precise object positioning.
For electricians / technicians: Easy to install thanks to the compact square housing, while clear LED indicators allow quick status and fault detection.
