5722483 – Chicago Dryer Compatible Photoelectric Sensor, Allen-Bradley 42BA-S1LNAG-A2

This direct-replacement photoelectric sensor is designed for precise linen detection in Chicago Dryer flatwork ironers and folders. Featuring advanced background suppression, it reliably identifies passing textiles while ignoring background conveyor belts or rollers, ensuring accurate lane triggering and fold timing. The unit utilizes an infrared sensing beam with an NPN (Sink) output, making it compatible with standard logic controllers used in Chicago Dryer automation systems.

Engineered for the lint-heavy environments of commercial laundries, this sealed sensor (IP67) resists dust ingress and vibration. It features a selectable Light/Dark operate mode and comes with a 2-meter (6.5 ft) integrated cable for flexible installation in feed tables or cross-fold sections. Tip: clean the sensor lens daily with a soft cloth to prevent lint buildup from causing false jam alarms.
