OFF response: 20 ms or less, ON response: 80 to 100 ms
Max. sink current: 60 mA
ON during normal operation, OFF during lockout (Note2)
Max. sink current: 200 mA
ON when all beam channels are received, OFF when one or more beam channels are interrupted (OFF also in case of any malfunction in the light curtain or the synchronization signal)

Notes: 1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +20 °C +68
°F.
2)
If the emitter enters a lockout state, and light from the emitter enters the receiver, lockout information will be transmitted and lockout output (SSD) will turn OFF.
3) Do not use or storage in environment of more than atmospheric pressure at sea level.

I/O CIRCUIT AND WIRING DIAGRAMS
Connection example
Basic wiring: Min. operation only
This is the general configuration using one set of the emitter and receiver facing each other. The control output (OSSD) turns OFF if the light is
interrupted, while it automatically turns ON if receive the light.
