Selecting ML300-T-6m-RT/98 for a matched ML300 thru-beam photoelectric installation
Pepperl+Fuchs ML300-T-6m-RT/98 is the transmitting half of an ML300 thru-beam sensor system. It sends a visible red light beam toward a separately installed receiver. The quoted 6 m range belongs to the specified paired arrangement; ML300-T-6m-RT/98 by itself is not a complete switching sensor. The shared montage is illustrative and does not establish the exact emitter or receiver delivered.
Key technical data
| Technical item | Verified value / selection note |
|---|---|
| Exact type | ML300-T-6m-RT/98 emitter |
| Sensing system | ML300 thru-beam photoelectric pair; emitter and receiver are separate components |
| System effective range | 0 to 6 m for the specified emitter/receiver pair |
| Light | Modulated visible red LED, approximately 660 nm |
| System supply | 10 to 30 V DC in the referenced paired-system data |
| Connection | M8 x 1 connector; verify pin assignment on the exact unit |
| Protection | IP65 for the referenced ML300 pair |
| Selection boundary | Receiver output and switching behavior depend on the paired receiver variant |
Emitter and receiver pairing
The letters in ML300-T-6m-RT/98 matter: T denotes the emitter, whereas an ML300-R code denotes a receiver. Specify both halves where a complete light barrier is required. Receiver suffixes can change output polarity, light-on/dark-on behavior and connection. Compare the actual receiver label and wiring diagram before replacement.
Optical installation
Mount ML300-T-6m-RT/98 and its receiver on a stable axis with unobstructed line of sight. Verify usable separation, target size, ambient light, vibration and contamination at the optical faces. Check alignment and excess signal margin under normal machine motion rather than only during a static bench test.
Electrical and service checks
Confirm the 10 to 30 V DC supply and M8 connection from the exact product document before energizing ML300-T-6m-RT/98. Route sensor wiring away from high-noise motor cables as required by the installation design. If detection becomes intermittent, inspect alignment, dirt, connector sealing and receiver diagnostics before replacing the transmitter.
Buyer information
For a ML300-T-6m-RT/98 enquiry, provide the transmitter label, matching receiver code, cable/connector choice, mounting distance and desired switching behavior. Do not infer an NPN or PNP output from the emitter part number: the switching output resides in the receiver.
