Wenglor ZD2003 Through Beam Sensor | 200m Range Emitter

Description

The Wenglor ZD2003 Through Beam Sensor functions as the specialized light source unit in a high-power sensing pair. By projecting a highly focused red light beam to a corresponding receiver, it creates a dependable optical link across distances as far as 200 meters. The transmitter is built with exceptional light intensity, providing a massive switching reserve that allows the system to operate effectively in environments where heavy dust, steam, or atmospheric haze might typically obstruct optical paths.

Accuracy is maintained over these vast distances through a narrow 3-degree opening angle, ensuring the energy remains concentrated for the receiver to detect. Constructed with a durable plastic housing, the ZD2003 is engineered to withstand mechanical stress and environmental fluctuations. With a protection rating of IP67, the unit is completely dust-tight and resistant to water ingress, making it suitable for both indoor logistics hubs and exposed outdoor transit paths. Operating reliably between -25 °C and 60 °C, it represents the gold standard for long-range industrial sensing infrastructure.
