​Area Sensors from Micro Detectors (MD) are multi-beam, through-beam sensors with emitter and receiver elements used to sense wide areas. These area sensors are not personnel safety protective devices. CX0 Series basic area sensors have a sensing distance of up to 6m and a detection height up to 320mm. CX2 Series advanced area sensors also have a sensing distance of up to 6m with detection height of up to 960mm and offer analog outputs and a blanking function. Available Teach-in functions are used for product setting and adjustment. LEDs indicate the sensor alignment, optics condition and faults. The blanking function (CX2 series) allows the height of the active optic window to be adapted to the specific application by eliminating ("blanking") pairs of beams. MD area sensors start at $200.00, have a 3-year warranty and are IEC IP67 rated.
