Question

Can Photomicro Sensors be used with a Slit on the light emitting/receiving window?

Answer



No, it is not possible to use Photomicro Sensors with a Slit on the light emitting/receiving window.

Reference information:

Because the sensing performance of Photomicro Sensors does not have a margin as wide as that for Photoelectric Sensors, using a slit will cause the amount of light to be insufficient and result in failure to operate, or failure to operate due to temperature change or deterioration in the illuminating LED over time (even if initial operation was correct).
