nero ultrasonic proximity switch-3

Description nero ultrasonic proximity switches are available in a M18 plastic sleeve. In addition to the axial beam direction variant, there is also a housing variant with a 90° angled head and radial beam direction. The ultrasonic proximity switches detect contactless and reliable objects with four detection ranges from 20 mm to 1.3 m. For the nero sensor family there are 2 output stages and 4 detection ranges available: 1 switching output with pnp or npn switching technology Sensors with switching output have three operating modes:  Single switching point Two-way reflective barrier Window mode...
