Detection of different
colored objects at a certain distance
Hardly affected by color
Hardly affected by background
The color or size of the object does not affect its sensing
performance.
The sensor does not detect
the background beyond the
set distance since it is of
distance adjustable type.

BASIC PERFORMANCE
Waterproof IP67 (IEC)
High-speed response time: 1 ms
The equipment on which the sensor is mounted can be
washed without any problem.
It can be used on a high speed assembly line.
Note: However, take care that if it is exposed to water splashes
during operation. It may detect a water drop itself.
Insusceptible to dust
The sensing performance
is less affected by dust as
it does not depend on the
incident light intensity.
Adjustable Range Reflective Type
The sensing range for which the sensor detects an
object is determined by the incident beam angle,
regardless of the incident light intensity.

• If a specular body is present in the background, wrong
operation may be caused due to a small change in the
angle of the background body. In that case, install the
sensor at an inclination and confirm the operation with
the actual sensing object.
• Do not install the sensor at a distance of less than 50 mm

in this range.
Wiring
• The output of RX-LS200-P does not incorporate a shortcircuit protection circuit. Do not connect it directly to a

Ensure that the shield is connected to 0 V or the actual
