※Control wire is only for Diffuse reflective/Narrow beam reflective/Retroreflective type.
※If short-circuit the control output terminal or supply current over the rated specification, normal control signal is not output due to the
output short over current protection circuit.
Installation and Sensitivity Adjustment
Install the sensor to the desired place and check the connections. Supply the power to the sensor and adjust the optical
axis and the sensitivity as following.
When using photoelectric sensors closely over two units, it may result in malfunction due to mutual interference.
When installing the product, tighten the screw with a tightening torque of 0.39N.m for BRP and to 14.7N.m for BR.
Diffuse reflective/Narrow beam reflective type
1. The sensitivity should be adjusted depending on a
sensing target or mounting place.
※Be sure that it can be different by size, surface and gloss
of target.

then turn the sensitivity adjuster until position ⓐ where
the operation indicator turns ON from min. position of the

3. Take the target out of the sensing area, then turn the
sensitivity adjuster until position ⓑ where the operation
indicator turns ON. If the indicator dose not turn ON,
max. position is ⓑ.

The sensing distance and minimum sensing target size
increase as the size of the tape increases.

※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.)
