Features:
- Diffuse detection: The sensor uses reflected infrared light without a separate reflector.
- NPN switching: Normally-open output logic must match the controller input and common reference.
- Migration boundary: The OEM-named alternative still requires application-level revalidation.
BOS0116 is a compact cabled photoelectric sensor for general object detection.
Its 900 mm rating is tied to the documented reference object, so production-target remission remains decisive.
Because the model is canceled, replacement work should preserve a measured baseline before testing the OEM alternative.
Apter Power can help confirm the Balluff BOS0116 BOS 5K Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor and the documented application details before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
- Real target: Set sensitivity with the darkest and smallest production object.
- Background: Keep reflective machine surfaces outside the effective return path.
- Mounting angle: Adjust orientation when glossy targets return unstable light.
- Lens care: Clean the sensing face before changing the potentiometer.
- NPN input: Confirm the PLC input is designed for a sinking output.
- Common reference: Verify the sensor and controller share the required 0 V reference.
- Cable record: Trace the three conductors before replacing the fixed 2 m cable sensor.
- Load boundary: Check the connected input rather than testing the output against an unknown load.
- Baseline capture: Record sensing distance, target, mounting and input behavior before removal.
- Alternative check: Compare BOS02A0 mechanically, optically and electrically before acceptance.
- Bracket fit: Confirm hole positions and available adjustment in the existing machine.
- Production proof: Test every relevant target and background condition after migration.
- Part presence: Detects objects at assembly and transfer positions after remission validation.
- Package passage: Provides a discrete signal for products moving through a fixed sensing point.
- Fixture loading: Confirms a workpiece reaches a known nest without contact.
- Legacy replacement: Supports documented BOS0116 positions while a migration plan is evaluated.
