M18-LT6000-A-M-J Datasheet/PDFThe M18-LT6000-A-M-J photointerrupter is a slot type logic output optical sensor designed to detect the presence of an object within its sensing range. The M18-LT6000-A-M-J is a solid-state I/O (input/output) device used to monitor the presence of an object when it moves across the gap between the emitter and receiver. The emitter and receiver are placed either side of a gap to form a bridge that is cut when the object moves through it. An LED emitter is coupled to a slotted optical receiver.
The application field of the M18-LT6000-A-M-J photointerrupter includes building automation, electronic equipment control, data acquisition and industrial automation. It offers reliable and easy-to-use sensing solutions for damage-free, no-contact object detection. The device is suitable for automated door and windows control, as well as switch or alarm activation. It is also suitable for use in industrial security systems, automation, access control, security systems or in similar applications.
The working principle of the M18-LT6000-A-M-J is based on the interruption of an infrared light beam that is emitted from an LED emitter and picked up by a slotted optical receiver. When the infrared emitted beam is cut by an object passing through the gap between the emitter and receiver, the device generates an output that can be used to control the logical operation in the controlled system. The output of the device can be set to either normally open or normally closed and it is designed to have a wide range of input voltage (3 to 24V). This enables its use in a wide variety of applications.
The M18-LT6000-A-M-J photointerrupter is designed to provide reliable performance and robust operation in a variety of harsh environments. It also offers a high degree of robustness and endurance and is waterproof, dustproof and shockproof. Furthermore, it is designed with a wide sensing range (up to 10mm) and an on-off state which gives precise, no-contact sensing. An optional shielding case can be provided for applications that require additional protection from dirt, dust and other environmental factors.
The M18-LT6000-A-M-J photointerrupter is a cost-effective, reliable and easy-to-use optical sensing solution for a wide variety of applications. It enables accurate and damage-free detection of objects within its sensing range and offers robust operation in harsh environments. With an optional shielding case, the device is also highly resilient and capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions.
