Circuit
- The output transistor turns off when load short circuit or overload occurs. Check the load and turn the power back on.
Through beam type transmitter
Through beam type receiver and diffuse reflective type
*Cut this lead off when not using the volume unit (model PF-V2) to leave it open and prevent it from touching other leads.
Semiconductor
Detection of wafer in cleaning tank
PFA sensor installed inside tank.
Automobile
Detection of parts on conveyor
Highly chemical-resistant PFA sensor used for detecting parts in anticorrosive spraying process.
Packaging/Food/Drug
Detection in chemical atmosphere
Food material in an atmosphere of alcohol can be detected with sensor in PFA case with high environmental resistance.
Option
Using In-line Volume Unit for PFA Sensor
