Following a comprehensive redesign, the popular E3JK family now offers maximum sensing distances up to eight times greater than before. In addition, the new models all use red light, which greatly simplifies alignment as the light beam is clearly visible. They also incorporate bright status indicator LEDs that can be easily seen over long distances.
Improved E3JK features
Other important refinements include large robust sensitivity controls that make adjustment easy, and a convenient light-on/dark-on switch that allows sensor operation to be instantly matched to the requirements of the application. Relay output versions of the new sensors offer universal operation from AC or DC supplies in the range 24V to 240V, and are complemented by npn/pnp transistor output types suitable for use with DC supplies in the range 10V to 30V.
All photoelectric sensors in the E3JK family are supplied in the versatile and widely used 50 x 50 mm format, and have pre-wired connections with 2m leads. The family includes through-beam models with sensing ranges up to 40m, retro-reflective models with ranges up to 7m and diffuse-reflective models with ranges up to 2.5m.
Typical applications for E3JK sensors include agricultural and building automation systems where their ability to operate direct from a standard AC mains supply is a key benefit, as well as warehousing and mechanical handling installations where their long sensing distance is a decisive advantage.
In spite of the many new features offered by our latest range of E3JK photoelectric sensors, they remain very competitively priced and, for products of their type, they offer the best price /value ratio currently available.
