Built-in Connector for Downsizing and Easier Connection

A built-in connector minimizes the shape and dimensional requirements. And wiring costs can be reduced by using commercially available connectors.

Safer Operation with Built-in Power Supply Reverse Polarity Protection

The built-in power supply reverse polarity protection protects against reverse connection of the power supply or outputs for safer operation at the assembly site.

Easy-to-see Indicator

The indicator can be seen from up to four directions to enable installation in more locations.

Built-in Thermal Shutdown Circuit

Control output 2 on models with NPN outputs is protected from output overcurrents by a built-in thermal shutdown circuit.

Two Outputs: Light-ON and Dark-ON

All models provide both a light-ON and dark-ON output so that the output can be switched according to the application simply by changing the wiring.
