FAI7/BN-1A Micro Detectors Photoelectric Sensor
Micro Detectors FAI7/BN-1A M18 Photoelectric Sensor — Dealer, Supplier & Stockist in India
The FAI7/BN-1A is a Micro Detectors FA-series photoelectric sensor in an M18 metal barrel with an NPN output and a fixed cable.
Product Overview
The Micro Detectors FAI7/BN-1A belongs to the FA series of M18 tubular photoelectric sensors — the manufacturer’s general-purpose range for conveyor, packaging and material-handling machinery.
In the FA series naming, the /BN suffix denotes an NPN switching output; the equivalent /BP reference is the PNP version. If your PLC inputs are PNP, order the /BP variant instead — tell us and we will supply the matching reference.
Before you order: the FA series covers several sensing modes and ranges. Send us the detection distance and what you are detecting, and we will confirm FAI7/BN-1A is the right reference or point you to the correct one. Full series data is in the FA catalogue linked above.

FAI7/BN-1A — Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Is FAI7/BN-1A a PNP or NPN sensor?
NPN. In the Micro Detectors FA series the /BN suffix denotes NPN output and /BP denotes PNP. Tell us your PLC input type and we will supply the correct variant.
Q2. What is the sensing range?
Range depends on the sensing mode of this specific FA reference. Rather than quote a figure that may not match your unit, we will confirm it from the manufacturer data — tell us the distance you need to cover.
Q3. Will it fit an existing M18 mounting?
Yes, the barrel is a standard M18 thread. Confirm the electrical connection matches, since this reference has a fixed cable rather than a connector.
Q4. Do you provide a GST invoice and ship outside India?
Yes to both. Every order carries a GST invoice valid for input tax credit, and we ship to 220+ countries with full export documentation.
