FAQ

To achieve the maximum 13-meter range, Balluff recommends using a high-quality prismatic reflector, such as their BAE R-10 model or equivalent.

This sensor features a universal output. The output type (PNP or NPN) is determined by how you wire the load. Refer to the official datasheet for the correct wiring diagram for your application.

Yes, it uses a standard 4-pin M12 A-coded pinout. Typically, pin 1 is +V, pin 3 is GND, and pin 4 is the switching output. Pin 2 may be used for configuration depending on the specific model variant.
