Photo Sensor with Timer 3m Sensing Distance, Relay Output – BX3M-PFR

DESCRIPTION

Autonics Universal AC/DC Photoelectric Sensor, BX3M-PFR

Relay contact output, Terminal block type connection, Retroreflective

The Autonics photoelectric sensor BX3M-PFR is Polarized retroreflective sensing type, comes in a rectangular shape, sensing distance of 3m, Response time of Max. 20ms and rectangular installation. The standard rectangular photo sensor can be used in diverse applications requiring non-contact detection of Opaque material.

As a quick report, this photoelectric sensor provides:

  • Retroreflective (built-in polarizing filter) sensing type
  • 3m sensing distance
  • Opaque material of min. Ø60mm sensing target
  • Red LED (660nm) Light source
  • 24-240 VAC ~ ±10% 50/60 Hz, 24-240 VDC ±10% (ripple P-P: max. 10%) power supply
  • Relay contact output
  • Operation mode: Light ON/Dark ON (set by switch)
  • Sensitivity adjuster
  • IP65 ingress protection structure according to IEC standards
  • Terminal type connection
  • Max. 3VA Current consumption

Body

This Autonics photoelectric sensor’s case and lens cover is made of Polycarbonate, its Sensing part is Acrylic made.

The BX3M-PFR features IP65 ingress protection.

Connection

The Autonics sensor BX3M-PFR features terminal block connection.

Sensing specifications

The sensing target for this photoelectric sensor is Opaque material of min. Ø60mm. The maximum distance that this sensor can detect its standard sensing target is 3m. This so-called sensing distance differs from one sensing target to another, based on their material.
