Function

Small, robust and reliable, the ML8 series of miniature sensors is particularly suitable for non-contact detection of objects in confined spaces. The LED indicator is located behind the lens and provides reliable information on the sensor's operating status. The LED is always visible, even if the sensor is completely embedded. Flexible mounting options and fixed preset detection ranges simplify setup and operation.
