Eaton 13106AQD07 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Eaton Comet sensor come with a connector or a flying lead cable?
Both, depending on the build. Two come with a 6.6 ft (2 m) attached cable for direct panel termination, one with an M12 connector, and one with a 4-pin micro DC connector. Connector versions need a mating cordset, which is a separate order.
2) How far will an 18mm diffuse reflective sensor detect an object, and do I need a reflector?
The Comet 18mm diffuse model senses out to 8 in and needs no reflector or separate receiver, because it reads light bounced back off the target itself. If you need range well beyond that, or reliable detection of dark or shiny targets, a retroreflective or through-beam sensor is the better pick. Diffuse sensing range varies with target color and surface finish.
3) Can I mount this Eaton sensor outdoors or in a freezer application?
Rated -40 degrees F to 158 degrees F, so cold storage and unheated spaces are within the ambient range. The cable jacket is PVC, which stiffens in deep cold, so route and dress it before the area gets down to temperature.
4) How many wires does the Eaton Comet photoelectric sensor have?
Four. The connection is 4-pin, which on a DC sensor means supply positive, supply common, output, and the fourth pin used for the second output or logic selection. Cordsets for the connector versions need to be 4-conductor to match.
5) What is the output current limit on the Comet sensor, and can it drive a relay directly?
The open collector output is rated 100 mA on PNP and 250 mA on NPN, with a 300 mA maximum current rating on the device. That is enough for a small interposing relay coil or a PLC input, not for a contactor coil. Size the load against the output you are actually using, not the 300 mA figure.
6) Is this Eaton sensor accurate enough for small parts on a conveyor?
It runs a focused spot diffuse mode, which tightens the sensing beam for repeatable detection of smaller targets at close range. Combined with the 8 in range, that suits conveyor and packaging line presence checks where the sensor sits close to the product path.
7) Does the Eaton Comet photoelectric sensor carry any compliance marking?
CE Marked. That is the marking stated for the Comet 18mm diffuse sensor, and it is what you would cite on a European machine build or a panel submittal calling for CE.
