FAQs:
  • What is the main advantage of the background suppression (BGS) technology in the DE-79183 sensor?
    The BGS technology allows the sensor to reliably detect objects within a specific, teachable sensing range while completely ignoring any background surfaces beyond this point, ensuring stable performance regardless of target color, reflectivity, or interfering backgrounds.
  • How is the sensing range configured on the DE-79183 sensor?
    The DE-79183 features a simple teach-in function that allows for tool-free setting of the sensitivity and switching point, enabling quick and precise configuration of the sensing range for your specific application requirements.
  • What industrial applications is the DE-79183 sensor suitable for?
    This sensor is ideal for applications requiring precise, distance-based object detection such as conveyor belt monitoring, stack height control, and precise positioning tasks where accurate detection independent of the background is critical.
  • What is the protection rating of the DE-79183 sensor housing?
    The sensor features a robust plastic casing with an IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where dust and moisture resistance is required.
