Allen Bradley Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, 3m Detection Range, 4-Pin Connector - 42EF-P2MPB-F4


Install this retroreflective photoelectric sensor from Rockwell Automation's Allen Bradley range for reliable object-sensing in automated processes. It's an electronic device that uses reflected light beams to detect, measure and count workpieces. Integrated IO-Link capabilities allow you to connect the unit to your control panel for rapid production-line feedback. You can also configure the device and plot trends with this functionality.

• Highly visible LEDs for status detection during setup, operation and maintenance
• Linear potentiometer adjustment for simple sensor configuration and proportional alignment
• Polymer housing resists abrasion and corrosion, making the product hardwearing
• Broad operating temperatures from -25°C to +70°C for use in harsh conditions
• IP69K (ingress protection) rating indicates complete shielding against dust and high-pressure water sprays for use with harsh conditions

Standards and Certifications


• CE (Conformitè Europëenne)
• CSA (Canadian Standards Association)
• RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)
• IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission)
• NEMA (National Electrical Manufacturers Association)

Does a retroreflective photoelectric sensor need a reflector?


Yes, this type of sensor needs a reflector to be installed opposite the device. You need to correctly align the photoelectric sensor and reflector to obtain accurate measurements and readings.
