PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS
PX-2 SERIES
CY
Long Range & Wide Area Photoelectric Sensor
Amplifier Built-in
Conforming to
EMC Directive
Ideal sensing area with very little null zone
Compact size for space-saving
The advanced optical system of the PX-2 series reduces the null zones in front of
an automatic guided vehicle (AGV).
The null zones at the sides are further minimized if auxiliary sensors which can be
easily mounted with connectors are used.
(For PX-24, PX-24ES, PX-23ES and PX-26)
Its size is half of a conventional model,
and the attached cable orientation is
freely adjustable. Hence, it can also fit
in a small AGV.
Moreover, sensitivity adjustment can
be done on the front face.

Sensing areas can be selected with switches to suit the route conditions of an
AGV.
Further, in case of PX-24ES and PX-23ES, the sensing areas can also be
selected with external signals.
PX-26 has a long sensing range of 5 m
16.404 ft. Even on a high-speed AGV,
it can detect an object quite early so
that slowing down and stopping are
smooth.

Sleep function
Automatic interference prevention function
External sensitivity adjustment
The sensor can be put into the sleep
(stand-by) condition when it is not
used and can be restored to operating
condition by an external signal.
Consequently battery is conserved as
the power consumption is reduced to
1/7.
One PX-2 sensor can simultaneously
receive beams from 25 Nos. of other
PX-2 sensors without resulting in any
interference. Even if AGVs are facing
each other, the PX-2 sensor on one
AGV reliably detects the other AGVs.
Hence, it can be safely used even at a
place where several AGVs are moving.
The sensitivity of the sensor can be
adjusted, within the range set by the
manual adjuster, by an external input.

PX-26

• This sensor conforms to the EMC Directive. However, it is
not certified by a competent body in accordance with other
country safety standards. Since each country has its
regulations, please follow the local and national
regulations of the country where this sensor is used.
CAUTION
• Fail-safe measures
• This sensor is meant for proximity detection and does not
possess control functions for safety maintenance.
• If fail-safe measures are required, consider their
incorporation in the total system.
• Further, do not connect the sensor output directly to a
stopping mechanism (brake).
CAUTION
• Periodical maintenance check
• The person incharge must periodically confirm the
performance of the product and maintain a record of such
checks. In addition, whenever the operating environment
of the product is changed due to system modification, etc.,
performance check must be done.

Notes: 1) Response time of the sleep input is 50 ms.
Notes: 2) Reactivation from the sleep state to the operation state takes
0.7 sec. approx.
Notes: 2) Operation during this transient state should be avoided.
Notes: 3) When the sleep function is not used, keep the sleep input line open
or insulated and prevent contact with other wires.

Remove the object and turn the sensitivity adjuster
further clockwise. Find out the point b where the
indicator turns on again. Make sure that the difference
between point @ and b is 1 div., or more, on the
scale. Then, set the sensitivity adjuster at point @.
4
Carry out steps 1, 2 and 3 for each of the areas
OUT 2, OUT 1, adjacent left / right OUT 1 and
auxiliary sensors (if they are connected).
5
After all the adjustments are made, the operator must confirm
that the sensing area is set correctly by observing the detection
of the object as it approaches from different directions.

Notes: 1) When adjusting the sensitivity of OUT 1 area, adjacent right OUT 1 area and
adjacent left OUT 1 area, this is the OUT 1 area operation indicator (red).
When adjusting the sensitivity of OUT 2 area, this is the OUT 2
area operation indicator (yellow).
Notes: 2) Set areas other than the area you are adjusting as ineffective.
Notes: 3) Use the accessory screwdriver to slowly turn the sensitivity
adjuster. Turning with excessive force will damage the adjuster.
