Eaton Comet Series Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor, Forward Viewing
The Eaton Comet Series Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor is a tubular photoelectric sensor engineered for forward-viewing, through-beam object detection in demanding industrial environments. Built with a durable polyurethane foam (RIM) enclosure, this sensor operates on a 10-30 Vdc input and features an Output ON LED indicator for at-a-glance status monitoring. Rated NEMA 1, NEMA 3, NEMA 4, NEMA 4X, NEMA 6, NEMA 12, NEMA 13, and IP69K, and carrying a UL Recognized listing, it is designed for reliable performance across washdown, wet, and dusty applications.
Key Features
- Sensor Type: Through-beam sensing configuration with forward viewing orientation for accurate object detection.
- Compact Construction: Polyurethane foam (RIM) enclosure measuring .47 in wide, 2.55 in in length/depth, and .71 in in height for a low-profile tubular form factor.
- Input Voltage: 10-30 Vdc input voltage supports flexible integration with standard DC control systems.
- Contact Configuration: NPN and PNP open collector outputs with a maximum DC current of 100 mA PNP / 250 mA NPN.
- Contact Rating: 100 mA PNP, 250 mA NPN at 10-30 Vdc for dependable switching performance.
- Short-Circuit Protection: Auto reset short circuit protection helps safeguard the sensor circuit during fault conditions.
- Operating Temperature Range: Rated from -4 °F to 158 °F for use across a wide range of ambient conditions.
- Cable: Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) cable with a 79.2 ft cord length for flexible routing to controllers, plus an Output ON LED indicator for visual status feedback.
