9986-4100

Proximity sensors are highly versatile devices that detect the presence of a nearby object without contact. They are widely used in automation, robotics, medical applications, and industrial manufacturing. The 9986-4100 is a non-contact AC-powered proximity sensor that uses a unique infrared beam to detect small objects from a distance. It is typically used for automated materials counting, palletizing, or bin and package detection.

The 9986-4100 proximity sensor is designed to work with a variety of materials, including glass, wood, aluminum, and some plastics. It is also weatherproof, making it a great choice for outdoor applications, which require precision detection in changing or extreme weather conditions. The sensor has a sensing range of up to 12 feet with a resolution of 0.5 inch, meaning it can detect objects that are up to 1.5 inches in size.

The 9986-4100 proximity sensor works by generating an infrared beam from an emitting diode that forms an electrical field. The emitted infrared beam is then detected as a voltage change from the photon energy emitted from the object. The emitted beam travels a short distance and when it comes into contact with an object within the sensing range, it detects a voltage change in the field caused by the object. This voltage change is then converted into a signal and sent to the user’s controller, indicating the presence of the object.

The sensor is adjustable to meet a variety of needs and applications. The sensors can be tuned to function over different distances, from less than a foot up to 12 feet, and the sensitivity is adjustable as well. The 9986-4100 is also adjustable to work in a variety of environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures, moisture, and dust. The sensors are relatively inexpensive and very reliable.

In addition to its use in industrial applications, the 9986-4100 can also be used in a variety of everyday applications. For example, it can be used for security purposes, such as controlling the opening of door locks or detecting motion in dark areas. It can also be used in home automation systems to turn lights on or off or activate security systems. With its adjustable range, the 9986-4100 can also be used as a fire alarm, detecting smoke at a distance.

In conclusion, the 9986-4100 AC-powered proximity sensor is a highly versatile and reliable device that can be used in a variety of settings, from industrial applications to everyday use. It has a wide sensing range and is adjustable to work in a variety of environments and conditions. It is also relatively inexpensive and easy to install. The 9986-4100 is an excellent choice for those looking for an accurate and reliable proximity sensor.
