TECHNICAL

The 9-247 is also available with either a “one shot” or a “pulse stretching” output. The
DATA SHEET one shot will output a constant signal duration regardless of the time a target may be
present. The pulse stretcher will define a minimum output duration. Both of these
output features may be used when a slow programmable controller is used, insuring
9-247 that the controller’s scan will pick-up the sensor’s signal.
MACHINE CONTROL SENSOR
The 12ms pulse stretcher 247-03-P5 is commonly used as a Can-on-Mandrel sensor.
DESCRIPTION
The SENCON sensor 9-247 is a self-contained proximity switch. This sensor is an
