 Retro-reflective photoelectric sensor for

reliable detection of transparent media
(e.g. clear glass, PET, foil)
 User controlled sensitivity adjustment with
high resolution allows detection of trans-
parent objects
 The autocollimation principle used ensures
that the device functions reliably over the
entire range (0 … max.)
