BW Series

General Purpose Area Sensors

The BW series general purpose area sensors feature long sensing distance up to 7 m and are available in 22 different configurations based on the number of optics, optical pitch, and detection area size. With ambient illuminance limit of 100,000 lux, the sensors can minimize operation errors under direct sunlight. Bright LED indicators are present in both the emitter and the receiver, making it easy to identify the operation status. Mutual interference prevention is possible with master/slave connection method, allowing multiple units to be installed in a row.

Details

Compatibility Notice for BW Series New and Previous Models : The emitter and receiver are not compatible between new and previous models. Please make sure that the emitter and the receiver are of the same new or previous model pair when setting up the units.

How to distinguish between new and previous models

NEW : Yellow model identification label or Autonics logo label on the cable.

NEW : Check the power supply product label on the box : New models are marked with –A or -B

 

With ambient illuminance limit of 100,000 lux, the sensors can minimize operation errors under direct sunlight.

High ambient illuminance limit (up to100,000lx) minimizes operation errors under direct sunlight and strong incandescent light. High sensitivity optics minimize detection errors in dust or rain.
