Lanbao PR18S-TM10 AC 2-Wire M18 Through-Beam Sensor

Lanbao PR18S-TM10 AC 2-Wire M18 Through-Beam Sensor

Lanbao PR18S-TM10-AC 2 Wires Series is a compact M18 cylindrical through-beam photoelectric sensor set for AC industrial automation systems. It uses separate emitter and receiver units to detect opaque objects that interrupt the optical path, giving stable beam detection without requiring a reflector.

This PR18S AC version is specified for 10m non-adjustable sensing distance, 20-250V AC supply, normally-open or normally-closed receiver logic depending on part number, and AC 2-wire wiring. Available variants include fixed 2m PVC cable models and E2 M12 connector models, with infrared 880nm LED light source, IP67 protection, and a PBT housing reference in the official specification table.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance

• Power selection: This is an AC 2-wire photoelectric sensor series, so confirm that the input module, relay circuit, or controller accepts 20-250V AC sensor wiring.
• Beam alignment: Through-beam sensing requires correct emitter-to-receiver alignment; verify mounting distance, optical axis, and bracket rigidity during installation.
• Logic selection: Choose the normally-open or normally-closed receiver version according to the required machine input logic.
• Load matching: Check the receiver load current and residual voltage requirements before connecting the sensor to a PLC input, relay, counter, or indicator circuit.
• Connection selection: Choose fixed cable versions for direct wiring or E2 M12 connector versions when detachable wiring and easier sensor replacement are preferred.

FAQ

What detection mode does the PR18S-TM10-AC Series use?

It uses through-beam detection, with an emitter and receiver mounted opposite each other. Objects are detected when they interrupt the beam path.

What power supply does this AC version require?

The official supply voltage reference is 20-250V AC.

Is this an NPN or PNP sensor?

No. This listing is for the AC 2-wire version. If your system requires NPN or PNP output, use a DC PR18S-TM10 series instead.

How do I choose between cable and E2 versions?

Cable versions use a fixed 2m PVC cable, while E2 versions use an M12 connector for detachable wiring and easier sensor replacement.

Does this sensor require a reflector?

No. It is a through-beam series using an emitter and receiver pair rather than a reflector.
