Eaton 11100A6517 Through Beam Photoelectric Sensor

Product Description

The EATON 11100A6517 is a through beam type photoelectric sensor used in industrial detection and automation applications. Through beam sensors operate by projecting a light beam from an emitter to a separate receiver; when an object interrupts the beam, the output changes state. This configuration offers reliable detection across longer sensing distances compared to reflective or diffuse sensor types. The 11100A6517 is typically installed by licensed electricians or qualified industrial maintenance technicians working on control and sensing systems.

Through beam photoelectric sensors are commonly applied in manufacturing, conveyor, packaging, and material handling environments where consistent object detection is required. The separate emitter and receiver design makes this sensor well suited for installations where objects of varying size, color, or surface finish must be detected reliably without relying on reflective surfaces.

Key Features

• Through beam operating principle for reliable object detection
• Separate emitter and receiver configuration for extended sensing range
• Suitable for industrial control and automation applications
• Compact form factor at 0.70 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct addition for industrial through beam photoelectric sensing installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or industrial controls technician in accordance with applicable NEC guidelines. Disconnect and lock out all power to the control circuit before mounting or wiring the sensor. Align the emitter and receiver on a common axis with no obstructions in the beam path during setup. Verify output signal and detection function before returning the system to service.
