Transmitted beam sensors is also named as through-beam sensors. The emitter (light source) and receiver are contained in separate housings. The two units are positioned opposite each other so the light from the emitter shines directly on the receiver. The object is detected when the beam between them is broken. These sensors provide the longest sensing distances, as long as hundreds of meters. It is the best sensing mode for operating in very dusty or dirty industrial environments.
