Eaton 14101A6517 Polarized Reflex Sensor

Product Description

The EATON 14101A6517 is a polarized reflex photoelectric sensor designed for industrial detection applications. Polarized reflex sensors use a polarizing filter to distinguish between the retroreflector and shiny or reflective object surfaces, reducing false triggers in demanding environments. This type of sensor is installed by electricians and industrial automation technicians as part of machine control, conveyor, or safety interlock systems. The 14101A6517 provides reliable object detection where standard diffuse or through-beam sensors may not be suitable.

Polarized reflex photoelectric sensors are commonly used in light manufacturing, material handling, and automated assembly environments. They are mounted facing a retroreflective target, detecting objects that break the beam between the sensor and the reflector. This sensor is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of existing polarized reflex units in industrial control panels and machine frames.

Key Features

• Polarized reflex sensing mode reduces false detection on reflective workpieces
• Retroreflector-based detection for reliable object presence sensing
• Suitable for conveyor, packaging, and machine control applications
• Industrial-grade construction for demanding installation environments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit sensor for industrial photoelectric control systems requiring a polarized reflex configuration.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or industrial controls technician. De-energize the machine and lock out power before mounting or wiring the sensor. Sensor alignment with the retroreflector is critical for proper operation and should be verified after mounting. Follow applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage control wiring in the installation environment.
