Leuze 50104238 Photoelectric Sensor

Product Description

The LEUZE 50104238 is a polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed to detect objects by transmitting a light beam to a reflector and monitoring the return signal. Polarized optics suppress false triggers from shiny or reflective target surfaces, making this sensor well-suited for demanding industrial detection tasks. It is typically installed by industrial electricians or automation technicians as part of a machine safety, conveyor, or process control system. The polarized retro-reflective design reduces the wiring complexity compared to through-beam configurations while delivering reliable object detection.

This sensor is used in industrial and commercial automation environments where consistent, interference-resistant object detection is required. Typical applications include conveyor line presence detection, packaging machinery, assembly line control, and material handling systems. It is intended for installation by qualified electricians or automation professionals familiar with low-voltage sensor wiring and PLC or relay-based control systems.

Key Features

• Polarized retro-reflective sensing method suppresses false signals from reflective target surfaces
• Simplified two-component setup requiring only a sensor and reflector rather than a separate transmitter and receiver
• Suitable for industrial automation, conveyor, and process control applications
• Designed for integration with standard machine control and PLC systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit sensor for industrial automation systems using polarized retro-reflective photoelectric detection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or automation technician familiar with low-voltage sensor circuits and applicable electrical codes. Disconnect and lock out all power to the control panel or machine before wiring or mounting the sensor. Align the sensor squarely with the reflector during mounting to ensure reliable signal return. Consult the equipment manufacturer documentation and applicable NEC requirements before commissioning.
