Frequently asked questions

Answers to the most common questions about our products and services

No. Class 2 specifies up to 8 kHz versus a 2 kHz factory setting. Catalogue footnotes limit Class 1 to 4 kHz. The operating rate must also suit the surface and exposure.

The manufacturer lists a 0.3 m pigtail with an M12 connector and a 3 m integrated sensor cable with open ends. Select the correct variant; the connector drawing does not describe the open-ended cable termination.

Yes. Catalogue footnotes limit Class 1 to 4 kHz, specify IP65 and 12-bit analog conversion. Do not automatically apply the Class 2 specifications.

No. The catalogue identifies PCF1420-3/U for 1–5 V output alongside current configurations. Match the cable to head variant and required output.

Check both light-spot dimensions at the working position. The smallest spot may occur at a specific distance and is not uniform over the span.
