B-LINE 8213B-6501 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the B-Line 8213B-6501 one shot module and what does it do?
It's a photoelectric switching module for B-Line 20 and 70 Series sensor assemblies. The switch classification on the 8213B-6501 is photoelectric, so it does its switching off a light signal rather than a mechanical contact.
2) Will the B-Line one shot module fit in a tight enclosure or existing sensor housing?
It's a small part: 1.04 in height, .54 in length and .59 in width, weighing .0125 lb. Measure the cavity you are dropping it into against those three numbers before you commit, but at roughly an inch in the longest dimension it will sit inside most 20 and 70 Series sensor housings.
3) Can the 8213B-6501 module be used outdoors or in an unheated warehouse?
Its rated operating range is -4 to 131 degrees F (-20 to 55 degrees C). That covers an unheated warehouse, a parking structure or a loading dock in most of the country, but a cold-climate exterior site that drops below -4 F in winter is outside the rating.
4) Is the B-Line one shot module compatible with both 20 Series and 70 Series units?
Yes. The 8213B-6501 one shot module is specified for the B-Line 20 and 70 Series, so a facility running a mix of both can stock the single part number for either.
5) What part number do I order for the B-Line one shot module, and are there options to specify?
One part number covers it: model 8213B-6501. There are no finish, voltage or handing options to choose, so the order is just quantity.
6) Is the B-Line 8213B-6501 a mechanical limit switch or a photoelectric device?
Photoelectric. If your drawing calls for a mechanical or contact-type switch, this is not the substitute; the 8213B-6501 switches on an optical signal.
