Description
The 42KD Miniature sensor provides a solution for applications in very small confined spaces. The 42KD sensor is the smallest sensor in the Photoelectric sensor portfolio. It offers various sensing modes, sensing distances, auto PNP/NPN, push button/remote teach, and push button lock options. Although miniature in size the features and performance on this sensor are reliable and competitive.
The 42KD is available in visible red LED models in polarized retroreflective and fixed/adjustable background suppression sensing modes. The teach button simplifies the setup process and even provides the option to remote teach the sensor. The sensor also has the option of light operate (L.O.) or dark operate (D.O.). All 42KD sensors have a unique “auto PNP/NPN” output which reduces stocking cost and simplifies selection, installation, and maintenance.
The 42KD is an excellent solution to a broad range of applications including industries such as automotive, packaging, and material handling. These features make the 42KD sensor easy to apply in challenging applications, especially where space is a limitation.

Sensor User Interface
Familiarize yourself with the LED indicators.
Mounting the Sensor
Securely mount the sensor on a firm, stable surface or support. An application subject to excessive vibration or shifting may cause intermittent operation. For installation convenience, Rockwell Automation offers a wide range of mounting brackets (see Accessories section for more detail).
Note: Due to the detection method, targets travelling horizontally to
the sensor’s optics are detected. Targets travelling vertically may not be accurately detected. For reliable background suppression, a minimum separation distance is recommended between the target and the background.
42KD Miniature Sensor Configuration
Polarized Retroreflective and Adjustable Background Suppression
The 42KD is configured using the push button or Remote Teach, and the LED indicators on the sensor. Four features can be configured:
• Standard or precision teach for sensitivity/sensing range
• Light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO) output
• Auto PNP/NPN, dedicated NPN or dedicated PNP
• Push button lock/unlock
The sensor output is disabled during Teach.
Teach Interface
Default Settings:
The factory default settings are as follows:
Sensing Range: Maximum Setting Output Type: Auto PNP/NPN. In Auto PNP/NPN mode, the sensor
continuously monitors the load connection and automatically configures the output to PNP or NPN.
Rockwell Automation 42KD-IN001A-EN-P—October 2014
Teach Sensitivity/Sensing Range
The default setting is the maximum sensitivity/range. Teaching the sensitivity/sensing range is a two-step process: teach the
background (first condition) and teach “target” (second condition). Switching threshold for output ON vs. OFF is set in between the two conditions.
