What electrical current draw should I plan for in system design?

The sensor requires up to 100mA during operation
ensure wiring and power supplies accommodate this continuous current.

Which temperatures will it reliably operate within?

It functions across an ambient range from -10°C to 50°C without performance degradation.

What connector and Terminal type are provided for installation?

A 4-pin M12 connector supplies the electrical Interface and facilitates quick connection to control wiring.

Does the device meet laser safety standards?

The emitter complies with IEC 60825-1:2007 and EN 60825-1:2014 classifications for laser equipment.
