Product Information

Full details

This Omron Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor is designed for industrial automation and control systems requiring reliable object detection. Its key benefit is a 2.5m detection range with a quick 20ms response time, ensuring efficient operation in various environments. A potential caveat is its specific electrical requirements and IP64 rating, which might limit placement in extremely harsh conditions. Key features include a Red LED light source for clear sensing, a durable ABS housing, and a standard 5-wire cable connection.

What type of output does this sensor provide?

It provides a relay output, suitable for many industrial control applications.

Is the sensor suitable for outdoor use?

With an IP64 rating, it is protected against dust and water splashes, making it suitable for many outdoor or washdown environments, but not for submersion.

What is the response time of the sensor?

The sensor has a response time of 20 milliseconds.

What material is the sensor housing made of?

The housing is constructed from durable ABS material.

What is the light source used by this sensor?

The sensor uses a Red LED as its light source.

Troubleshooting

Sensor not detecting objects

Verify power supply. Ensure object is within the 2.5m detection range and reflects the Red LED beam. Check for obstructions or dirt on the sensing surface. Confirm wiring connections are correct and secure.

Intermittent detection

Check for environmental factors like rapid light changes or reflective surfaces that might interfere with diffuse sensing. Ensure the object's surface is suitable for detection. Verify mounting stability to prevent vibration.

Relay output not switching

Confirm the sensor is receiving power and detecting an object correctly. Check the wiring of the relay output terminals to your control system. Ensure the load connected to the relay does not exceed its capacity.

Sensor shows reduced detection range

Clean the sensor's optical window thoroughly. Ensure the light source (Red LED) is not obstructed. Check for any physical damage to the sensor housing or lens.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile detection range of up to 2.5 meters.
  • Fast response time of 20ms for real-time applications.
  • Durable ABS construction for longevity.
  • Standard relay output for broad compatibility.
  • Clear Red LED light source for easy setup.

Cons

  • Limited to 240V AC maximum voltage.
  • IP64 rating may not suffice for high-pressure washdowns or submersion.
  • Fixed 2-meter cable length may require extensions in some setups.
  • Diffuse sensing can be affected by object surface characteristics.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Mount the sensor securely, ensuring the target object passes within the 2.5m detection range and aligns with the Red LED beam. Connect the 5-wire cable according to your control system's requirements, observing polarity and voltage limits (max 240V AC). The relay output simplifies integration with PLCs or other control devices.

Compatibility: This sensor is compatible with AC control systems operating up to 240V. The wire lead terminal type and standard relay output ensure broad compatibility with industrial automation equipment. Ensure the operating temperature range (-25°C to +55°C) is suitable for your environment.

Care: Maintain the sensor's performance by keeping the sensing surface clean. Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh solvents. Periodically check the cable for damage. Ensure the sensor is protected from excessive dust and moisture beyond its IP64 rating.
