ifm electronic Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor Block Style, Relay Output, 50 m Detection Range, IP65 OA0101

ifm electronic OA0101 is a high-performance through beam photoelectric sensor in a block style designed for industrial automation and control systems. This sensor operates up to 50 meters detection range using an infrared light source and features a relay output for switching applications. Housed in durable polyphenylene oxide material, it provides IP65 protection against dust and water ingress making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

The sensor supports both light switching (ON when light is received) and dark switching (ON when light is blocked) modes through a relay with changeover contacts. It is compatible with both AC and DC voltages up to 250V, with a maximum current rating of 3 amps. The operating temperature range is wide, from -25°C to 60°C, allowing reliable functionality in diverse conditions.

The block sensor style and glass detection capabilities make it ideal for applications requiring precise object detection such as manufacturing lines, automated packaging, material handling, and safety systems. It mounts via cable with wire terminals, ensuring straightforward wiring integration.

The OA0101 sensor complies with UL and cULus standards, providing assurance of quality and safety. Although it does not have hazardous area certification, its robust IP65 enclosure protects it well for general industrial and commercial operations.

Additional configurations are available such as the reflective light barrier (RLS) and light barrier with polarising filters (ELS), but these require separate accessories. This sensor is part of the reliable ifm electronic Photoelectric Sensor family used worldwide in automation and control.

The sensor uses infrared light for accurate object detection at distances up to 50 meters. It features a robust polyphenylene oxide housing rated IP65 for dust and water resistance. Suitable for detecting glass materials with high-performance block sensor design.

Capable of both light switching and dark switching via relay changeover contacts. Operates reliably in temperature ranges from -25°C to 60°C. Supports both AC and DC supply up to 250V with a maximum current of 3A. Mounting is via cable with wire terminals for easy connection.

Certified to UL and cULus standards ensuring industrial safety compliance. Ideal for use in industrial automation, manufacturing, and process control applications.
