Your Benefit


Excellent resistance to chemicals, which increases sensor life and reduces replacement costs
The sensor cover protects configuration components against environmental hazards and reduces the variety of devices needed for stocking
Immune to ambient light and crosstalk from another sensor, providing reliable operation and less downtime

The W34 photoelectric sensor family features a durable plastic housing in ABS. All configuration components for the sensor are protected by a durable cover, allowing these sensors to be used in outdoor areas. The housing in die-cast zinc (W24-2) is recommended especially for tough and extreme ambient conditions.
A variety of other features are also available including, adjustable time delay, alarm output, test input, and DC voltage and universal AC/DC voltage. These provide additional flexibility and reduce the number of part numbers needed.
The W34 family includes background suppression proximity, retro-reflective and through-beam sensors. The background suppression proximity sensors are characterized by a long sensing range and immunity to ambient light.

Applications


High operating reserve at a long sensing range of retro-reflective and through-beam sensors ensures reliable operation
Variants with DC voltage and universal AC/DC voltage provide installation flexibility
