What Happens When Direct Sunlight Strikes The Lens Of The Receiver?

Modified on Sun, 11 May, 2025 at 10:17 PM

The sunlight deletes the received light signal of the emitter and the sensor is then light shielding when direct sunlight strikes the receiver.
Additionally, even if the light of an emitter is intercepted, direct sunlight is considered as a receiving signal and the sensor is light entering.

Therefore, please set the ambient illuminance by sunlight 10,000 lx max as described in the settings of the catalog.

Photoelectric sensors emit light by pulse and this turns on/off proportional to the amount of light received.
