Technical Specifications The following table outlines the core electronic and operational parameters for this model: | Parameter | Specification | | :--- | :--- | | **Sensor Principle** | Photoelectric Proximity Sensor (TwinEye technology) | | **Detection Method** | Background Suppression (BGS) | | **Sensing Range** | 1 mm to 30 mm | | **Supply Voltage ($V_s$)** | 10 V DC ... 30 V DC | | **Output Type** | NPN (Open Collector) | | **Switching Mode** | Light switching | | **Output Current ($I_{max}$)** | $\leq$ 50 mA | | **Response Time** | < 0.5 ms | | **Connection Type** | Cable with M8, 3-pin male connector | --- ## 2. Key Electronic Features ### A. Background Suppression (BGS) Unlike standard proximity sensors, the W2TS-NB3-R2 uses triangulation to determine distance. This allows it to detect very small or transparent objects regardless of their color or the reflectivity of the background. ### B. Pin Configuration (M8 3-pin) The electronic interface follows standard industrial wiring: 1. **Pin 1 (Brown):** L+ (Positive Supply, 10-30V DC) 2. **Pin 3 (Blue):** M (Ground/0V) 3. **Pin 4 (Black):** Q (Output Signal - NPN) ### C. Protection Circuitry The device incorporates several internal protection mechanisms: * **Reverse Polarity Protection:** Prevents damage if the power leads are swapped. * **Overload and Short-Circuit Protection:** Protects the NPN output stage from excessive current draw. * **Interference Suppression:** Filters out noise from nearby electronic equipment. --- ## 3. Physical & Environmental Attributes * **Housing Material:** High-grade VISTAL™ plastic (provides high mechanical ruggedness). * **Enclosure Rating:** IP67 / IP69K (Resistant to high-pressure washdowns). * **Light Source:** PinPoint LED (visible red light, approx. 640 nm). --- ## 4.
