RightSight General Purpose Sensors
Our Bulletin 42EF RightSight™ General Purpose Sensors are designed for light- to medium-level industrial use. These sensors take many of the features of larger solutions and puts them in a smaller, more adaptable package to deliver excellent detection capabilities where size and shape matter.
Features
- Incorporates embedded IO-Link Technlology in select sensors to help minimize downtime and increase productivity
- Patented housing design with 1200 psi washdown ratings
- Available in 12...24V DC and universal AC/DC supply versions
- 360° visible indicators
- Universal 18 mm mounting at base and nose, and through-hole mounting
- Short circuit protection across entire voltage range
- Variety of sensing modes and output types

Rockwell Automation announces that as of March 2016, specific 42EF RightSight polarized retroreflective, diffuse, and transmitted beam sensor models are discontinued and no longer for sale.
To support your transition, we recommend that you migrate to our enhanced 42EF Series D sensors. The 42EF Series D sensors offer IO-Lnk 1.1 protocol which provides users with additional sensor diagnostics when connected to an IO-Link master.
