Mounting and Sensitivity Adjustment
Use the product with the protective cover in the place.
Failure to follow this instruction may result in electric shock.
When extending wire, use AWG20 cable or over within 100m.
When using photoelectric sensors closely over two units, it may result in malfunction due to mutual interference.
When installing the product, tighten the wire holder with a tightening torque of 1.0 to 1.5N.m.
When installing the cover, tighten the screw with a tightening torque of 0.3 to 0.5 N.m.
Through-beam type
1. Supply the power to the photoelectric sensor, after
setting the emitter and the receiver facing each other.
2. Set the receiver in center of position in the middle of the
operation range of indicator by adjusting the receiver or
the emitter right and left, up and down.
3. After the adjustment, check the stability of operation by
putting the object at the optical axis.
※If the sensing target is translucent body or smaller
than Ø15mm, it can be missed by sensor because light
penetrate it.
※Sensitivity adjustment: Refer to the diffuse reflective
type’s.

where the operation indicator (yellow LED) turns ON.
(The self-diagnosis indicator (green LED) is in OFF

3. The operation indicator turns OFF, when the sensing
target is removed from the position ⓐ. Without the
sensing target, turn the sensitivity adjuster from the
position ⓐ to position ⓑ where the operation indicator
(yellow LED) turns ON. (If the operation indicator does not
turn ON, max. position of the sensitivity adjuster is ⓑ.)
4. Set the sensitivity adjuster at the center of two switching
position ⓐ, ⓑ.
※Above sensitivity adjustment is for Light ON mode. If it
is for Dark ON mode, operation indicator (yellow LED)
operates opposite.
※The sensing distance indicated on specification chart is

it can be different by size, surface and gloss of target.

※If the mounting place is too narrow,

※Please use reflective tape (MST

Retroreflective type (Built-in polarizing filter)
The light passed through the polarizing filter of the emitter
reaches to the MS-3 reflector or reflective tape converting
as horizontal direction. It reaches to the receiver element of
polarizing filter converting as vertical by the MS-3 reflector
or reflective tape. Therefore, this type can also detect
reflective mirror.

Retroreflective type
1. Supply the power to the photoelectric sensor, after
setting the photoelectric sensor and the reflector or
reflective tape face to face.
2. Set the photoelectric sensor in the position which
indicator turns on, by adjusting the reflector (or reflective
tape) or the sensor right and left, up and down.
3. Fix both units tightly after checking that the unit detects
the target.
※If using more than 2 photoelectric sensors in parallel,
the space among them should be more than 30cm.
※If reflectance of target is higher than non-glossy white
paper, it might cause malfunction by reflection from
the target when the target is near to photoelectric sensor.
Therefore put enough space between the target and the
photoelectric sensor or the surface of the target should
be installed at angle of 30° to 45° against optical axis.
(When a sensing target with high reflectance near by,
photoelectric sensing with the polarizing filter should be
used.)
※Sensitivity adjustment: Refer to the diffuse reflective type’s.

※This reflectivity is based on the reflector (MS-2).
※Reflectivity may vary depending on usage environment
and installation conditions.
The sensing distance and minimum sensing target size
increase as the size of the tape increases.
Please check the reflectivity before using reflective
tapes.
※For using reflective tape, installation distance should be
min. 20mm.
