Description
Product Overview
The NIFIVE Photoelectric Beam Sensor is engineered for high‑precision detection in demanding industrial and commercial environments. Featuring a robust copper reflector, the sensor creates a reliable invisible beam that can detect objects up to four meters away, even in dusty or low‑light conditions. Its hardwired power architecture supports a wide voltage range of 12‑240VDC and 24‑240VAC, eliminating the need for batteries and reducing maintenance costs. The pre‑installed six‑foot (1.8 m) cable simplifies wiring, allowing installers to connect the unit to existing control panels with minimal effort. Constructed from corrosion‑resistant materials, the housing meets IP65 standards, ensuring protection against water jets and dust ingress. The sensor operates reliably from -20 °C to 55 °C (‑4 °F to 131 °F), making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. With a compact footprint of 1.9 × 1.3 × 0.7 inches and a weight of just 0.28 kg, it can be mounted on walls or ceilings without requiring additional support structures. The device is compatible with a broad range of security and automation systems, including PLCs, SCADA platforms, and standalone alarm panels, providing versatile integration options for end users.
Usage
Designed for versatility, this sensor excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. In commercial settings, it can be deployed as a safety barrier for garage doors, overhead doors, and loading dock gates, instantly stopping motion when an object interrupts the beam. Manufacturing facilities benefit from its ability to detect small parts on conveyor belts, enabling precise counting, sorting, and quality‑control processes. Retail storefronts use the sensor to monitor customer entry and exit, feeding data into foot‑traffic analytics platforms. Outdoor gate security systems rely on its long‑range detection to trigger alarms or lighting when an intruder approaches. Because the sensor operates on a wide voltage range, it can be powered directly from existing industrial power supplies, eliminating the need for additional transformers or converters. The six‑foot cable provides enough slack to route the sensor to control cabinets while keeping the installation neat and organized. Its rugged construction ensures reliable operation in harsh environments, such as chemical plants, warehouses, and agricultural facilities, where exposure to moisture, dust, and temperature fluctuations is common.

FAQ
What is the maximum detection distance of the sensor?
The sensor can reliably detect objects up to four meters (approximately 13 feet) away when the reflector is properly aligned and the target has sufficient retro‑reflective properties.
Can the sensor be used with both AC and DC power sources?
Yes, the sensor accepts a wide input range of 12‑240VDC and 24‑240VAC, allowing it to be powered directly from most industrial power supplies without additional conversion equipment.
Is the sensor suitable for outdoor installations?
Absolutely. The housing meets IP65 standards, providing protection against water jets and dust, and the sensor operates reliably from -20 °C to 55 °C, making it ideal for outdoor and harsh indoor environments.
How does the pre‑wired cable benefit the installation process?
The included 1.8 m (6 ft) cable is pre‑terminated with the appropriate connectors, reducing the time required for wiring, minimizing errors, and ensuring a secure, consistent connection to control panels.
What kind of maintenance is required for the sensor?
The sensor is designed for low‑maintenance operation. Periodic visual inspections to ensure the reflector remains clean and free of obstructions are recommended. No battery replacement or recalibration is needed during its typical service life.
