The BW series general purpose area sensors feature long sensing distance up to 7 m and are available in 22 different configurations based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. With ambient illuminance limit of 100,000 lux, the sensors can minimize operation errors under direct sunlight. Bright LED indicators are present in both the emitter and the receiver, making it easy to identify the operation status. Mutual interference prevention is possible with master/slave connection method, allowing multiple units to be installed in a row.
