Product Description
The PA18CLD.. is a family of
inexpensive general purpose
Diffuse-reflective sensors in
industrial standard 18 mm
cylindrical PBTP housing.
They are useful for simple
applications where a basic
sensor provides adequate
sensing performance. The
sensors are simple to use
and no adjustment are ne-
cessary (except 400 mm dif-
fuse adjustable type). The
output is a 2-wire NO or NC
thyristor (SCR) output.

Installation Hints
To avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch pow-
er cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables
Relief of cable strain
Protection of the sensing face
Switch mounted on mobile carrier
Incorrect
Correct
The cable should not be pulled
A proximity switch should not serve as
mechanical stop
Any repetitive flexing of the
cable should be avoided
