Information About 42EF-E1EZB-F4

The 42EF-E1EZB-F4 is part of the Allen-Bradley 42EF RightSight series, known for compact, versatile photoelectric sensing suitable for a wide range of automated equipment. This model functions as a transmitted-beam source, delivering strong infrared emission that pairs with a compatible receiver for high-accuracy detection over longer distances. It features an 18 mm cylindrical housing, a 4-pin Micro DC quick-disconnect pigtail, and durable PVC construction designed to withstand washdown and challenging conditions. Rated NEMA 4X/6P with global certifications including UL, CE, CCC, KC, and C-Tick, the sensor performs reliably from –25 to 55 °C, making it suitable for both indoor and rugged industrial applications.

Key Features:

  • Infrared Transmitted-Beam Source: Provides a powerful, focused infrared emission for long-range, high-accuracy detection when paired with a compatible receiver.
  • Wide 10.8–30 VDC Supply Range: Ensures stable operation across standard industrial control voltages and supports compatibility with a broad range of automation systems.
  • 100 mA Solid-State Output Capacity: Allows the sensor to reliably drive control inputs while maintaining fast response and consistent switching performance.
  • 18 mm RightSight Cylindrical Housing: Offers compact mounting, easier alignment, and drop-in compatibility with common industrial photoelectric sensor brackets.
  • NEMA 4X/6P Environmental Protection: Delivers exceptional resistance to washdown, water ingress, and corrosive environments for long-term reliability.
  • 4-Pin Micro DC QD Pigtail Connection: Simplifies wiring and replacement with a secure quick-disconnect interface ideal for maintenance-heavy applications.
  • PVC Ruggedized Body: Provides increased durability, corrosion resistance, and shock tolerance in challenging industrial environments.
  • Stable Infrared Performance: Maintains detection accuracy in ambient light changes, dusty environments, or reflective background conditions.
  • Broad Global Certification Coverage: Approved to UL, CUL, CE, CCC, KC, and C-Tick standards for worldwide industrial deployment.
  • –25 °C to +55 °C Operating Range: Supports reliable performance in both refrigerated areas and high-temperature industrial settings.

The 42EF-E1EZB-F4 delivers the reliability and precision required for transmitted-beam photoelectric detection, long-distance alignment, and stable sensing in high-performance automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions about 42EF-E1EZB-F4
Question: What is the 42EF-E1EZB-F4 used for?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:

The 42EF-E1EZB-F4 is an enhanced polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for:

  • Object detection
  • Conveyor control
  • Packaging machinery
  • Presence sensing

It works by detecting a light beam reflected from a special retro-reflector, and triggering an output when the beam is interrupted.

Question: What is the sensing range of the 42EF-E1EZB-F4?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Typical sensing distance: Up to 4 meters (13 feet) when used with a recommended 92-XX retro-reflector.
  • The actual range can vary depending on the size and reflectivity of the target object.
Question: What type of output does the 42EF-E1EZB-F4 provide?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Solid-state PNP (sourcing) output
  • Logic state: Light Operate (LO) — output turns ON when the sensor detects light (i.e., when the beam is uninterrupted)
  • Suitable for direct connection to PLC digital inputs or control relays
Question: What are the 42EF-E1EZB-F4 electrical ratings?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Voltage: 10–30V DC
  • Current consumption: ≤ 35 mA (without load)
  • Output current: Max 100 mA
  • Short-circuit protection: Yes
  • Reverse polarity protection: Yes
Question: How is the 42EF-E1EZB-F4 mounted?
Date Update:17/06/2025
Answer:
  • Through-hole or bracket mounting
  • Includes standard 18 mm nose mounting option (threaded)
  • Optional brackets: 60-2610, 60-2641, or 60-2643
