The Cutler-Hammer® Comet Series

from Eaton’s electrical business is a

complete line of high performance,

18 mm tubular sensors with a variety

of models and modes to solve

virtually any sensing problem.

The sensors are available in thru-

beam, reﬂex, polarized reﬂex,

diffuse reﬂective, focused diffuse

reﬂective, wide angle diffuse reﬂec-

tive, Perfect Prox®, ﬁne spot Perfect

Prox® and ﬁber optic sensing.

Perfect Prox® is one of the most

powerful problem-solving sensors

available. These sensors can reliably

detect targets of different color,

reﬂectance, contrast or surface

shape at the same range, while

ignoring background objects just a

fraction of an inch away.

The Comet Series includes AC/DC and

DC-only models with 2-, 3- and 4-wire

circuitry. Choose from cable or micro-

connector. Mini-connectors are

available on 2-wire models for easy

retroﬁt. Each sensor features a Light/

Dark Operation switch and a gain

control to provide for quick adjustment

to peak optical performance.

The unique threaded body with ﬂat

sides allows quick mounting in a 3/4

inch hole or against any ﬂat surface.

Internal components are rigidly sealed

in a solid encapsulated package

for excellent performance in high-

vibration and high-shock applications.

These High Performance Sensors Have the Versatility to Solve

All of Your Sensing Problems

Product Features

■Industry standard 18 mm diameter threaded body has ﬂat sides allowing it

to be mounted like a tubular sensor or against any ﬂat surface

■Right-angle viewing models mount in a depth of only 6/10th of an inch

■Perfect Prox® technology provides exceptional background rejection and

application problem-solving

■Visible sensing beams let you see where the beam is aimed for quick setup

and alignment

■Solid polyurethane housing completely encapsulates internal circuits for

high resistance to shock and vibration

■Adaptable modulation circuit provides immunity to crosstalk from other

closely mounted sensors

■The industry’s only background rejection sensors with a 2-wire circuit design

■Models available with both AC and DC operation in a single unit — up to

264 volts AC!

■4-wire DC sensors offer both NPN and PNP outputs

■Output status indicator visible from a wide 270° angle

Product Comparison

Eaton’s cost-effective Prism Series,

OEM Prism and premium Comet

Series all share the same 18 mm ﬂat-

sided housing. This results in the

largest interchangeable sensor

family available, allowing you to

select from well over 250 different

models to solve the widest variety of

sensing applications.

Comet Series

Sensing Modes

Thru-Beam

This sensing mode is available with

ranges of 20 and 80 feet (6 and 24m).

The 20 foot (6m) range is available in

forward and right-angle viewing,

and can be intermixed in any

combination for the best ﬁt in your

application. Long range models fea-

ture a visible sensing beam to help

simplify installation and alignment.

Reﬂex and Polarized Reﬂex

In reﬂex sensing, the sensing beam

is reﬂected from a retroreﬂector back

to the sensor. The Comet Series

includes standard and polarized

models with 2-wire, 3-wire and

4-wire circuits. Right-angle models

are also available. Polarized models

feature a polarizing ﬁlter built into

the sensor to ensure that only light

reﬂected from a corner-cube retrore-

ﬂector is recognized by the sensor.

This allows reliable detection of

shiny targets that could reﬂect light

and be missed by a non-polarized

sensor. Most models include a visi-

ble sensing beam for easy installa-

tion and alignment.

Diffuse Reﬂective, Focused Diffuse

and Wide Angle Diffuse

A wide variety of diffuse reﬂective

models are available with ranges

of 8 inches (200 mm) and 24 inches

(610 mm). Forward and right-angle

viewing conﬁgurations offer identical

optical performance in this series.

Focused diffuse reﬂective models fea-

ture a light beam that is focused at a

point 1.6 inches (40 mm) in front of

the sensor lens for applications where

you need to avoid sensing objects in

front of or behind the target. Wide

angle diffuse models provide a large

spot and wide detection area.

Perfect Prox®

This is a unique type of diffuse

reﬂective sensor that combines

extremely high sensing power

(called “excess gain”) with a sharp

optical cutoff to ignore backgrounds.

This allows the sensor to reliably

detect targets regardless of varia-

tions in color, reﬂectance, contrast

or surface shape, while ignoring

objects that are just slightly outside

the target range. This gives the Per-

fect Prox® an outstanding ability

to solve sensing applications that

would be difﬁcult or impossible to

manage with other types of sensors.

It also makes Perfect Prox® one of

the easiest photoelectric sensors to

set up and use.

Eaton’s Comet Series includes more

background rejection models than

any other family on the market.

Choose from forward or right-angle

viewing, 2-, 3- or 4-wire circuits,

cable, micro or mini-connector ter-

minations and a variety of sensing

ranges. A visible sensing beam on

most models lets you quickly con-

ﬁrm that the sensor is aligned cor-

rectly with the target. Fine spot

models provide an extremely small

0.05 inch (1.3 mm) light spot for

accurately detecting tiny targets

such as ﬁne strands of wire or tar-

gets that are in or behind small

diameter holes.

Fiber Optic

The Comet Series also includes sen-

sors that utilize ﬁber optic cables to

sense objects where space is

restricted, temperatures are high, or

tight viewing angles are required.

Choose from models that accept low

cost plastic ﬁber optic cables, or use

our patented glass ﬁber optic

adapter that inexpensively converts

our standard diffuse reﬂective sen-

sors for use with durable glass ﬁber

optic cables.

Mounting

Comet Series sensors feature a

threaded housing and include two

jam nuts and washers for mounting

into any 0.75 inch (19 mm) hole or a

selection of accessory mounting

brackets available from Eaton. The

ﬂat sides of the sensor feature two

mounting holes for easily attaching

the sensor to any ﬂat surface with #4

hardware.

See Page 5-38 at the back of this

section, and Section 8 for a full list of

mounting brackets compatible with

the Comet Series.

tors may not conform with established standards.
