DataSensing – HE Series

Photoelectric Sensor M8

Brand : Datasensing

The DataSensing HE Series is a compact family of M8 through‑beam photoelectric sensors engineered for long‑range object detection in industrial automation and material handling applications. Built in a rugged stainless steel M8 housing with IP67 protection, the HE series offers reliable sensing of objects through beam interruption over extended distances (up to about 2 m depending on the variant). The miniature form factor makes the sensors ideal for installation in tight spaces, conveyor systems, packaging lines, sorting equipment, and automated production systems where discrete presence or interruption detection is required. All models feature high switching frequency and robust electrical protection against short‑circuits and reverse polarity for dependable operation in harsh environments.

The series includes emitter and receiver pairs with infrared LED emission and a range of output configurations such as NPN and PNP with normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) contacts, enabling flexible integration with different control architectures. Clear LED status indicators provide visual feedback for power and output state during setup and operation. Designed for simple installation and high repeatability, HE sensors operate from 10 – 30 V DC and deliver fast response suitable for high‑speed detection tasks.
