Overview


The W280-2 consists of three high-performance sensor types – energetic photoelectric proximity sensor, photoelectric retro-reflective sensor and through-beam photoelectric sensor. The AC/DC devices (-2Hxxxx) are compliant with EN 61000-6-3 (electromagnetic interference for “residential, commercial and light-industrial environments”) which makes the sensor especially suitable for door and gates areas. In other branches the fast install kit provides a rotatable M12 connector, cable or screw terminal connection which offer a quick and easy setup even in space-restricted conditions. Devices with potentiometer and light/dark switching provide application flexibility. In addition, these sensors are available in DC and AC/DC versions.

At a glance


• Easily visible red light thanks to BrightLight LED
• Potentiometer for adjusting the sensing range/sensitivity
• Light/dark switching (DC devices only)
• Rotatable male connector, cable connection or terminal connection
• Versions for 10 – 30 V DC or 24 – 240 V DC/AC voltage supply
• AC/DC devices (-2Hxxxx) are compliant with EN-61000-6-3 (electromagnetic interference for "residential, commercial and light industrial environments”)
• BEF-W280 mounting bracket made of stainless steel (1.4301) included in delivery

Your Benefit


• Simple and fast commissioning with the highly visible light spot of the BrightLight LED
• Simple operation via potentiometer
• Light/dark switching provides application flexibility
• All necessary mounting and operating accessories are included in delivery, enabling quick and easy setup: since mounting bracket (stainless steel 1.4301) is included in delivery scope
• DC devices and AC/DC devices available in the same housing, allowing electrical flexibility
• Less contamination due to high operating reserves, reducing downtime
