Product Description
ThePA18C.R...ispartofafamily
of inexpensive general purpose
retro-reflectivesensorsinindus-
trial standard 18 mm cylindrical
ABS housing.
The sensors are useful in appli-
cations where high-accuracy
detection as well as small size is
required.
Compact housing and high
power LED for excellent
performance-size ratio.
The potentiometer used for
adjustment of the sensitivity
makes the sensors highly flex-
ible. The output type is NPN or
PNP and the output switching
function is NO and NC.

* The IP69K test according to DIN 40050-9 for high-pressure, high-temperature wash-down applications.
The sensor must not only be dust tight (IP6X), but also able to withstand high-pressure and steam cleaning.
The sensor is exposed to high pressure water from a spray nozzle that is fed with 80°C water at 8’000–
10’000 KPa (80–100bar) and a flow rate of 14–6L/min. The nozzle is held 100 –150 mm from the sensor at
angles of 0°, 30°, 60° and 90° for 30s each. The test device sits on a turntable that rotates with a speed of 5
times per minute. The sensor must not suffer any damaging effects from the high pressure water in appea-
rance and function.
