Optical sensors are made up of two components, a receiver and a transmitter, and use the principle of light reflection and absorption to detect objects. Photodiodes are sensitive to changes in light and enable sensors to detect objects at distances or when they are moving.The ZT2-F2238 solid-state photoelectric sensor is designed for a variety of applications in industrial automation including applications such as presence sensing, actuation, monitoring, and more. The device offers a number of user-adjustable parameters that provide flexibility in design, allowing for quick and easy installation. The device can be used reliably in environments with a high degree of temperature variation and vibration. The rugged construction ensures reliable operation even in challenging environments and in extreme weather conditions.

Principle of Operation

The ZT2-F2238 photoelectric sensor works by using a quartz windowed infrared (IR) light-emitting diode (LED) and a Si photodiode detector to detect an obstacle. When an obstacle is present, a fraction of the emitted light is reflected back to the detector, and this signal is amplified and used to trigger an output state. The IR LED emits a constant light field around the windowed detector. When an object passes through the light field, a portion of the emitted light is reflected back to the detector. The detector then amplifies the received signal before sending it to the control circuitry. When the reflected signal is above a predetermined threshold, the output is triggered. The ZT2-F2238 photoelectric sensor operates in the visible or infrared spectrum. In the visible range, the device operates at a wavelength of 488nm, while in the infrared range, the device operates at a wavelength of 840 nm.
