Product Description
The Pepperl+Fuchs ML 17-8-450/115/136 is a compact diffuse mode photoelectric sensor from the ML17 Tru-Vue™ series. It detects objects within an adjustable range of 10 to 450 mm using a modulated infrared LED at 950 nm, and features a unique 4-in-1 push-pull output that auto-selects NPN or PNP for flexible wiring. The sensor is housed in a polycarbonate body with an M18 threaded snout, 360° high-visibility status LEDs, and an IP67 ingress protection rating, and ships with a pre-wired 2-meter PVC cable.
