Information About 42GRU-9001
The 42GRU-9001 is part of the PHOTOSWITCH Series 9000 by Allen-Bradley, designed for reliable object detection in demanding industrial applications. This model operates in standard On/Off mode using a retroflective sensing method, which means it detects the presence of an object when light is reflected back from a reflector.
This unit includes an SPDT relay output for flexible wiring configurations and is equipped with a 2-meter (6.5-foot) cable rated at 300V for durable field connections. The sensor is suitable for use with various materials and surfaces, making it a solid choice for applications such as packaging, assembly, and conveyor systems.
Key Features:
-
Retroflective Sensing Mode: Detects objects using a reflector, eliminating the need for alignment with a separate receiver.
-
Wide Voltage Compatibility: Accepts 10–55V DC and 20–40V AC for flexible installation across various systems.
-
Long Detection Range: Sensing distance up to 9.14 meters (30 feet) for broad coverage.
-
SPDT Relay Output: Provides a reliable switching interface for control and automation equipment.
-
Integrated Cable: 2-meter (6.5 ft) 300V cable for simplified electrical connection and installation.
The 42GRU-9001 is ideal for general-purpose object detection in automated material handling and industrial control systems.
