Technical description and application scope
Two output states for a fast production line
The PRK25C/4P-M12 monitors objects travelling between a sensor and an opposing reflector. Its two PNP outputs provide complementary light-on and dark-on states, so a controller can evaluate the optical path without selecting only one of these output behaviours. The 1,500 Hz switching frequency and 0.33 ms response time are important when checking closely spaced products; the complete machine input timing must still be considered.
Plan the optical path, not just the headline range
The guaranteed operating range is 0.05–10 m with a TK(S) 100×100 reflector. A typical limit of 12 m is not a guaranteed distance with arbitrary reflectors. Carton conveyors, package discharge points and product passage checks are potential applications when an opposing reflector can be fitted. Transparent targets and very small parts require sample testing rather than an assumption of reliable detection.
A compact, detachable installation
The red ABS housing measures 15 × 42.7 × 30 mm. A four-pin, A-coded M12 male connector supports a detachable field connection with a matching cordset. Select the installation against the 10–30 V DC supply, IP67/IP69K protection ratings and −40…+60 °C operating limits. Two LEDs provide local status feedback. Automation can review the sensor, reflector, cable and PLC input requirements together; include order code 50134279, target dimensions, line speed and installation distance when requesting a quotation.
Integration essentials
M12 male, 4-pin, A-coded; PNP transistor output; IP67 / IP69K.
This sensor is for process detection, not personnel safeguarding. Confirm the reflector and cable supply scope separately.
