The CX-491 is a retroreflective compact photoelectric sensor equipped with polarizing filters. It is designed for precise sensing applications with a sensing range and target specifications optimized for the RF-230 reflector. This PNP open-collector transistor output sensor can be configured as either Light-ON or Dark-ON. It features an orange LED indicator that illuminates when the output is active, along with built-in short-circuit protection and a continuously adjustable sensitivity control located on the receiver (for through-beam type). The sensor is housed in a durable PBT enclosure with an IP67 protection rating, suitable for demanding sensing and instrumentation applications.
