Model EMDC2/RCDC2 Opposed Beam Emitter/Receiver

Brand: Red Lion Controls

The Models EMDC2 (Emitter) and the RCDC2 (Receiver) are miniature, DC powered, Opposed Beam photo-electric sensor pairs with a 66 foot sensing range. 

The Emitter contains a high power modulated “infrared” LED. 

The receiver contains a sensitive photo-transistor and output transistor. 

In operation, the output will turn on when the receiver detects that an object has broken the emitter beam. 

Due to their high gain, they are ideally suited for detecting opaque objects in dirty and dusty areas or when condensation or oil film environments are present.
Features
