z Retro-reflective photoelectric sensor for

safe detection of transparent media
(e.g. clear glass, PE, foil)
z User controlled sensitivity adjustment with
high resolution allows detection of transpar-
ent objects
z The autocollimation principle used ensures
that the device functions reliably over the
entire range (0 … max.)
