TELEMECANIQUE XUK0ARCTL2 — Diffuse-Reflective Sensors
Telemecanique XUK0ARCTL2: multimode photoelectric sensor, 4 sensing modes, IP65 double insulation.

Status: In production
Brand: Telemecanique
Product: Multimode photoelectric sensor
Sensing range: Polarised reflex: 4 m · Thru-beam: 30 m · Diffuse with background suppression: 0.28 m · Diffuse: 0.8 m
Response time: 25 ms
Protection: IP65 double insulation
XUK0ARCTL2 is a multimode sensor (compact 50 × 50) from Telemecanique’s XU family: one reference works, by teaching, in diffuse, diffuse with background suppression, polarised reflex (with XUZC50) or thru-beam (with a separate transmitter) mode, so a single stocked sensor can cover different applications. Sensing range: Polarised reflex: 4 m (with reflector XUZC50). Emission: infrared: diffuse, background suppression and thru-beam modes · Red: polarised reflex mode.
Response time: 25 ms. Supply: 24…240 V AC. Degree of protection IP65 double insulation, operating temperature -25 to +55 °C. Connection: cable.
