FAQs
Q1. Is BWPK25-05P a safety sensor?
No. This sensor is not safety-rated and must not be used for personnel protection.
Q2. What is the advantage of the picking indicator?
It provides visual confirmation of correct picking and detection during operation.
Q3. Can sensing distance be adjusted?
Yes. Long and short sensing modes are selectable via switch.
Q4. Does it support Light ON and Dark ON?
Yes. Operation mode can be selected on the receiver.
Q5. Can multiple sensors be installed close together?
Yes. Frequency switching helps prevent mutual interference.
