Key Features:

Background Suppression (BGS) Technology: Electronically sets a precise switching point. The sensor only detects objects within its taught range and suppresses everything in the background, ensuring false signals are eliminated.

Fixed 100 mm Sensing Range: The article number suffix "103100" indicates a fixed (non-adjustable) 100 mm (0.1 m) operating range.

Visible Red Light Spot: Emits ared light (

Simple Teach-In Programming: The switching distance and operating mode (e.g., light/dark on) are easily set by pressing the integrated teach-button. No potentiometers or complex tools are needed.

IO-Link (Version 1.1): This sensor is equipped with the IO-Link open standard communication protocol. This enables:

Parameter storage and device configuration via the control system.

Remote monitoring and diagnostics.

Advanced process data reporting.

Robust M18 Housing: Features a sturdy, industrial-grade M18 x 1 threaded cylindrical metal housing,
making it resistant to shock and vibration and easy to install in standard mounting locations.

Electrical Protection: Protected against reverse polarity, short-circuit, and overcurrent, enhancing durability in demanding environments.

Output Configuration: This specific model (-103100) features a PNP (sourcing) switching output with a Normally Open (NO) / Normally Closed (NC) selectable function.
