Convergent reflection sensing ensures stable detection
Stable detection by convergent reflective mode
Hardly affected by background
Stable detection
characteristics are
obtained since it is
convergent reflective
type and senses a
limited area.
Even a specular
background does not
affect the sensing
performance if the
sensor is located 30 mm
1.181 in away from it.

Background
30 mm

However, the specular background should be a
plane surface, directly facing the sensor. A spherical
or curved background may be detected.

Selection
Guide
Since the sensor is very
sensitive, it can detect
even a dark object of low
reflectivity.

The bars in the graph

material. However, there
is a slight variation in the
sensing range depending on
the product.
Further, if there is a

it affects the sensing,
separate it by more than

Mounting
• When fixing the sensor with screws, use M3 screws and
the tightening torque should be 0.49 N·m or less.
Further, use small, round type plain washers (ø6 mm
ø0.236 in).

Others
• Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the
power supply is switched on.
• Take care that the product does not come in direct contact
with oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Wiring
• Make sure to connect terminals correctly as the sensor
does not incorporate a reverse polarity protection circuit.
• If the sensor is being used in a noisy environment,
examine the extent of noise. Further, if equipment, such
as motor, solenoid or electromagnetic valve, which
generates a large surge, is present near the sensor,
connect a surge absorber to the equipment.
Setting
• The optimum setting
distance (distance to
convergent point) is
5 mm 0.197 in.
The sensor is not affected
even by a specular
background if it is located
30 mm 1.181 in, or more,

Soldering (Both connector CN-13 and sensor)
• Do not plug or unplug a connector more than
10 times.
• Be sure not to give stress more than 5 N to a
terminal of both a connector and a sensor.
If you do not follow the above cautions, it will
cause a poor contact.
