PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS The new FARS, MQ and HEE/HER series photoelectric sensors from AutomationDirect expand the company's photoelectric sensor line. The FARS series is an 18 mm non-metal tubular diffuse sensor which features background suppression technology that greatly reduces false readings beyond the specified sensing range. FARS series prices start at $45. The MQ series is an AC diffuse photoelectric with a unique 90-degree optic package that allows it to be mounted in locations where space is limited. The MQ series fits in a standard 18mm mounting bracket or mounting hole. MQ series prices start at $59. The HEE/HER series consists of through-beam sensor pairs in a miniature 8 mm tubular stainless steel package. Its small size and rugged IP67 rated stainless steel package make the HEE/HER series a good solution for sensing applications with limited mounting space in harsh environments . HEE/HER series prices start at $32 + $48 for an emitter/receiver through-beam pair. ------------------------------------------------- 18 mm Diffuse photoelectric sensors with background suppression - FARS Series The FARS series is a standard 18 mm tubular diffuse sensor in a non-metal package with background suppression technology that greatly reduces false readings beyond the specified sensing distance.

---------------------------------------------------- Photoelectric Sensors - 18mm, AC-powered (MQ Series) The MQ series photo sensors are AC diffuse photoelectrics with a unique 90-degree optic package that allows it to be mounted in locations where space is limited. The MQ series photoelectric sensors fit in a standard 18mm mounting bracket or mounting hole, and are available in a choice of 20-253 VAC outputs in normally-open or normally-closed configurations with an M12 disconnect. All MQ photoelectric switch models include background suppression technology with maximum available sensing distances of 50 mm or 100 mm. For AC applications. Features include:
- 90 degree Optic package
- Models with 50mm or 100mm maximum reading distance
- M12 plug connection
- Plastic housing
- Supply voltage 20
- 253 VAC
- LED output status indicator
- Light - ON, Dark - ON selectable
- IP67 protection rating
----------------------------------------------------------- Photoelectric Sensors - 8 mm Round - HE Series HEE/HER series through-beam sensors feature miniature 8 mm tubular stainless steel housings. Small size and rugged IP67 rating make the HEE/HER series a good solution for sensing applications with limited mounting space in harsh environments. The M8 miniaturized HEE and HER series thru-beam sensors are available with NPN or PNP, and NO or NC outputs. In the PNP models the load is connected between the output (black wire) and the negative (blue wire). In the NPN models the load is connected between the output (black wire) and the positive (brown wire). In the Normally Open models, the output is ON when the target is present (beam interrupted); in the Normally Closed models the output is ON when the target is absent (beam free). All models feature a maximum switching frequency of 10 kHz that accommodates high speed counting or motion control applications. Features include:
- M8 Small dimension housing
- LED status indicator for all models
- Overload protection
- IP67 protection
- Strong stainless steel housing
- Fast switching frequency 10 KHz
- Sensing distance: 1 m
- Supply voltage: 10 - 30 VDC
- NPN or PNP, NO or NC models
*********************************************************** MINIATURE ULTRASONIC PROXIMITY SENSORS The UHZ miniature ultrasonic line of sensors includes four models of rectangular through-beam units specifically designed for applications with limited mounting space. Measuring only 30 mm x 20 mm, these miniature sensors are available in 18-30 VDC input supply voltages, with a choice of PNP or NPN transistor outputs, in normally-open or normally-closed configurations. The UHZ series has a maximum sensing distance of 300 mm, with no dead zone at close range, enabling object sensing at a variety of distances. All models include an LED indicator on the receiver and are IP67 protection rated with an operating temperature range of -5 to +70 degrees C. The UHZ series features electrical protection from short circuit, overvoltage, and reverse polarity, minimizing sensor failure resulting from electrical disturbances. The UHZ series is sold as a through-beam pair starting at $159. Features include:
- Miniature size: 30x20x12 mm emitter/receiver
- LED status indicator for all models
- IP67 protection
- Switching frequency: 150 Hz
- Sensing distance: 300mm
- Supply voltage: 18 - 30 VDC
