Stable detection by convergent reflective mode
Dark object detectableNot affected by background
Even a specular background does not
affect the sensing performance if the
sensor is located 30 mm 1.181 in away
from it.
However, the specular background should
be a plane surface, directly facing the sen-
sor. A spherical or curved background
may be detected.
Stable detection characteristics are
obtained since it is convergent reflec-
tive type and senses a limited area.
Since the sensor is very sensitive, it
can detect even a dark object of low
reflectivity.
Cable type is also availableMinute object detectable
A "0.05 mm "0.002 in copper wire can
be detected at a distance of 5 mm
0.197 in.
Cumbersome soldering is not required.
It saves space and improves reliability.

Correlation between lightness and sensing range
The sensing region is represent-
ed by oblique lines in the left fig-
ure. However, the sensitivity
should be set with enough mar-
gin because of slight variation in
products.
Lightness shown on the left
may differ slightly from the
actual object condition.
()
Correlation between material (1515 mm 0.5910.591 in) and sensing range
The bars in the graph indicate the
sensing range for the respective
material. However, there is a
slight variation in the sensing
range depending on the product.
Further, if there is a reflective
object (conveyer, etc.) in the
background of the sensing object,
since it affects the sensing,
separate it by more than twice the
sensing range shown in the left
graph.
Note: Make sure to connect terminals correctly as the sen-
sor does not incorporate a reverse polarity protection
circuit.
The sensors can be mounted side by side.
However, if the sensor is slanted, there
may be interference.
Verify first whether there is any interfer-
ence prior to use.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
All models
Connector type
This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not
intended or designed to protect life and prevent body
injury or property damage from dangerous parts of
machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor.
Mounting
When fixing the sensor with screws, use M3 screws and
the tightening torque should be 0.49 Nm or less.
Further, use small, round type plain washers ("6 mm
"0.236 in).
1Insert a connector straight into a
sensor until the connector lug is
locked by the sensor hook.
2When unplugging, give as much
stress as a connector lug can be
relieved from a hook. Then
unplug it.
Caution: Be sure to hold a connector
when plugging or unplugging
it. Do not hold a terminal or a
cable when plugging or
unplugging the connector.
Otherwise, it will cause a
poor contact.
Cautions in plugging or unplugging a connector
Others
Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the
power supply is switched on.
Take care that the product does not come in direct contact
with oil, grease, or organic solvents, such as, thinner, etc.
Wiring
Make sure to connect terminals correctly as the sensor
does not incorporate a reverse polarity protection circuit.
If the sensor is being used in a noisy environment, exam-
ine the extent of noise. Further, if equipment, such as
motor, solenoid or electromagnetic valve, which generates
a large surge, is present near the sensor, connect a surge
absorber to the equipment.
Setting
The optimum setting dis-
tance (distance to conver-
gent point) is 5 mm 0.197 in.
The sensor is not affected
even by a specular back-
ground if it is located 30 mm
1.181 in, or more, away
from the sensor.
However, the specular background should be a plane
surface, directly facing the sensor. A spherical or curved
background may be detected.
Do not plug or unplug a connector more than 10
times.
Be sure not to give stress more than 5 N to a ter-
minal of both a connector and a sensor.
If you do not follow the above cautions, it will
cause a poor contact.
Procedures of plugging or unplugging a connector
Soldering (Both connector CN-13 and sensor)
If soldering is done directly on the terminals, strictly adhere
to the conditions given below.
Soldering temperature
260 C 500 For less
Soldering time 10 sec. or less
Soldering position Refer to the below figure
Wiring
The cable length must be
2 m 6.562 ft, or less, with
0.3 mm2, or more, cable. If
the cable is extended for
more than 2 m 6.562 ft,
connect a capacitor of
10 !F approx. between
V and 0 V terminals.
