Panasonic CX-411 (CX-411E+CX-411D) Through-beam Photoelectric Sensor

Pair of CX-411D Detector and CX-411E Emitter CX-411, Compact Photoelectric Thru-beam Sensor Panasonic

The CX-411D and CX-411E refer to the detector and emitter components of the Panasonic (formerly Sunx) CX-411, a compact photoelectric thru-beam sensor.

• CX-411D: The Detector component, also known as the receiver, which contains the light-receiving element.
• CX-411E: The Emitter component, which contains the red LED light source.

Overview of the CX-411 thru-beam sensor

As a pair, the CX-411D and CX-411E function as a single unit, the CX-411 sensor, which is designed for reliable object detection in industrial applications.

Key specifications include:

• Sensing method: Thru-beam, where the emitter and detector are placed facing each other. Detection occurs when an object interrupts the beam of light.
• Sensing distance: Up to 10 meters.
• Power supply: 12 to 24 VDC.
• Output: NPN or PNP open collector output, depending on the specific model.
• Output mode: Selectable between Light-ON and Dark-ON.
• Material: PBT enclosure with an acrylic or polycarbonate lens, rated IP67 for protection against dust and water.
• Adjustments: Features a sensitivity adjustment via a 1-turn potentiometer.
