PA18CAT20 Overview
It is recommended to set the temperature of a photoelectric sensor to -25°C~60°C in order to ensure reliable operation. For these electronic components to work, the voltage should be provided by 10V~30V. It's ideal for photoelectric sensors to have a response time of 1ms. It is necessary to connect 4 pins to make the photoelectric sensor work. Photoelectric sensors need 100mA at their outputs to work. It is possible to apply a voltage of 30V to the photoelectric sensor in a DC circuit without damaging it. There are some photoelectric sensors that can work with low voltages, such as 10V. Several photoelectric sensors are included with the Axial package for your convenience.
