Autonics BRQM1M-DDTA-P Photoelectric Sensors
Autonics BRQM20M-TDTA Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensors (20 m, NPN, M18, IP67)
Long-range background suppression (BGS) photoelectric sensor with 20-meter sensing distance and NPN open-collector output.
Designed for accurate detection independent of background distance, ideal for large conveyors and material-handling systems.
The Autonics BRQM1M-DDTA-P sensors are background suppression (BGS) photoelectric sensors designed for high-precision object detection while ignoring background surfaces. With a fixed 1-meter sensing distance, PNP output, and IP67 protection, they are ideal for conveyors, packaging machines, material handling systems, and OEM automation where consistent detection is critical.

FAQ
Q1. What does “1M” indicate in this model?
A fixed 1-meter background suppression sensing distance.
Q2. What is background suppression sensing?
It detects objects at a fixed distance and ignores backgrounds beyond that range.
Q3. Is detection affected by object color or shine?
No, BGS technology minimizes color and reflectivity influence.
Q4. Is this NPN or PNP?
This variant is PNP open-collector output.
Q5. Is it suitable for harsh environments?
Yes, IP67 protection and metal housing make it industrial grade.
