  • Reliable area sensor for industrial automation and object detection.
  • 0.3–2 m detection range for flexible installation.
  • Four infrared detection beams for accurate sensing.
  • NPN and PNP selectable output capability for control system compatibility.
  • IP67 protection for demanding industrial environments.
  • Compact design with fixed 2 m cable connection for easy integration.

Key Features

  • IMO BX04 area sensor series.
  • Emitter and receiver combined configuration.
  • 4 infrared detection rays.
  • 30 mm beam spacing.
  • 90 mm controlled height.
  • Minimum detectable object size Ø15 mm.
  • NPN + PNP NO output.
  • Adjustable sensitivity using trimmer.
  • Infrared light emission for reliable detection.
  • Short-circuit and reverse polarity protection.

Reliable Object Detection for Industrial Automation

Area sensors provide fast, non-contact detection of objects moving through a monitored zone, helping automation systems improve productivity, accuracy and process control. The IMO BX04SR/0A-AB uses multiple infrared beams to detect objects across its sensing area without mechanical contact.

The BX04 series is designed for machine builders, automation engineers and industrial users requiring compact sensors with reliable detection, robust construction and straightforward electrical integration.
