Wenglor EA250-P24 Through Beam Sensor | 250m Range Emitter

Description

The Wenglor EA250-P24 Through Beam Sensor functions as the specialized transmitter unit for ultra-long-distance sensing systems. By projecting a high-intensity red light beam to a corresponding receiver, it establishes a dependable detection field over a staggering 250-meter span. The system is specifically developed to provide a massive switching reserve, which is essential for penetrating environmental obstacles such as heavy dust, thick steam, or atmospheric haze often found in rugged industrial sectors.

Precision is maintained over these extreme distances through a narrow 3-degree opening angle, ensuring the light energy remains focused on the target receiver. Beyond its sheer power, the EA250-P24 is built for industrial endurance. The unit is housed in a rugged plastic casing with an IP67 protection rating, making it completely dust-tight and resistant to water ingress. Operating reliably in temperatures ranging from -25 °C to 60 °C, this sensor is a stable solution for both indoor logistics hubs and exposed outdoor industrial applications.
