The optoCONTROL CLS1000 is an optoelectronic fiber optic sensor designed for automation, featuring variable switching outputs for reliable presence and position monitoring. The system consists of a CLS1000 controller paired with a CFS sensor. With an extensive operating range of up to 2000 mm, it is highly effective at detecting components from significant distances. The compact size of the CFS sensors makes the series ideal for integration into restricted installation spaces.
Comprehensive Sensor Range

The CFS fiber optic sensors are engineered for durability and compact integration. Built with robust materials, these high-quality sensors are specifically designed to withstand the mechanical stress and extreme environments, including high temperatures.
The sensors are an excellent choice for restricted areas where installation space is limited due to their miniature sensor heads. The CFS line offers a modular approach, allowing sensors to be individually combined to suit specific measurement requirements.
Large Detection and Operating Ranges

Due to its high light intensity and resolution, the fiber-optic sensor delivers outstanding performance across its detection and operating ranges. Depending on the selected sensor, the operating range can reach up to 2000 mm for transmitted light operations, while the detection range can extend up to 1200 mm in one-way operations. This enhances process reliability when implemented in plants and industrial systems.
