Sensing Range Guidelines

Infrared - invisible light source recommended for opque object sensing. The IR LED provides long-range sensing capabilities and maximizes the ability to penetrate contaminated lenses.
Red - visible red light source recommended for sensing transparent/translucent objects and for use with the polarized retroreflective lens.
High Intensity Red - recommended for long-range proximity sensing and for use with plastic fiberoptic light guides.
