MA Motion Sensor (AMA1, AMB1, 2, 3)
MOTION SENSOR
(AREA REFLECTIVE TYPE) MA MOTION
SENSOR Series
FEATURES
1. Now even more miniature.
The new thin type cuts 35% from the
thickness of the previous short type.
Device installing is now easier than ever.
Existing short type
W10 × H20 × D19.5 mm
W.394 × H.787 × D.768 inch
⇓
Thin short type
W10 × H20 × D12.7 mm
W.394 × H.787 × D.500 inch
*“W” and “H” are detection value measurements.
2. Certain detection unaffected by the
reflectance of the object
The sensor can provide stable
detection that is not affected by the
condition (color or material of the
clothing) or parts (skin, hair, etc.) of the
object being monitored. (Reflectance
18% to 90%). Excellent performance
even when the detection surface is dirty.
3. Only connecting DC power supply
for operating
Built-in oscillation circuit type obviates
the hitherto existing need for start signal
input.
4. Use in adjacent positions is
possible
These sensors can be located in
adjacent positions, because the timing of
the external trigger signals can be
adjusted so that the beam frequency of
each adjacent sensor will not interfere
with the other.
5. Battery drive possible
By applying longer interval for the trigger
signal, you can reduce the total power
consumption.
6. Can be used with a number of
different supply voltages.
1) The 5V DC type (4.5 to 6.5V DC)
2) The free-ranging power type (6.5 to
27V DC)
They support the DC power supplies of
electronic products and equipment in
general.
*The thin short type is only available for 5V DC.
7. The open collector output system
makes for easy load drive.
These sensors provide a continuous
output during detection because the
output system makes it easy to drive the
load.
They achieve an output performance of
30V, Built-in oscillation circuit type:
100 mA, External triggering type: 10 mA
(Thin short type: 100 mA). Also, the thin
short type is available in a PNP open
collector type in addition to a NPN open
collector type.
APPLICATIONS
1. Water-based product market
• Automatic lighting of wash basin units
• Toilets
• Automatic water flow from faucets
2. Stores and financial instructions
• Automatic doors
• Automatic lighting
• Cash dispensing machines
• Automatic teller machines
• Visitor detecting sensors
3. Amusement market
• Automatic lighting for game display
4. Medical field
• Non-contact switch
5. Others
• Automatic ticket gates
• Seat-taking sensors
• Detection of passengers getting on and
off a bus
What is area reflective type?
The sensor emits a ray of light toward the
human body and detects the distance and
determine whether there is a person within
a given distance of the sensor. If the
sensor detects a person, it sets an output
non-contact switch to ON.

Notes: 1. The thin short type is only available for 5V DC.
2. The ratio between the 4 operating modes (*a to *d) depends on the
external trigger period and detector time, and the current consumption
corresponds with this varying ratio.
3. A high level is established in the open state due to pull-up by the internal
circuit. (Refer to the connector wiring diagram.)
4. The output transistor is open collector.
The output transistor is turned ON by the sensor detection status and
turned OFF by its non-detection status.

2. External triggering type
HOW TO USE
• Wiring diagram of connector
Notes: 1. The output transistor has an open collector structure.
• Detection status: Output transistor ON (connected to GND)
• Non-detection status: Output transistor OFF (open state)
2. The status of the external trigger input is as follows:
• Open at the high level
• GND (less than 0.8V) at the low level
Under no circumstances must a high-level voltage be applied.
3. To maintain the power supply noise performance, be certain to connect a capacitor (33µF or more) to the sensor power supply input terminal in order to stabilize
the power supply voltage.

2. During the time taken for the circuit to stabilize after the power is turned

MA Motion Sensor (AMA1, AMB1, 2, 3)
NOTES
1. Environment
1) Avoid using the sensor in
environments containing excessive
amounts of steam, dust, corrosive gas, or
where organic solvents are present.
2) When the sensor is used in noisy
environments, connect a capacitor
(minimum 33 µF) across its power input
terminals.
2. Wiring
1) Check all wiring before applying
power. Incorrect wiring may damage the
internal circuit (in particular, check that
the connection to the power supply is not
reversed.)
2) Avoid excessive removing and
replacing of the connector.
3. Detector surface (Optical surface)
1) Keep the detector surface clean.
Excessive dust or dirt on the detector
surface will deteriorate the sensing
performance.
2) Do not allow condensation or freezing
to occur on the surface of the sensor. If
condensation or freezing does occur at
low temperatures, the sensor may not
detect objects correctly.
3) This product is designed to detect the
existence of human body. The sensor will
not detect objects consisting of a low
reflective material (e.g., an object coated
with black rubber, etc.) or of a highly
reflective material (e.g., mirror, glass,
coated paper, etc.)
4) The front surface of the lens and case
are made of polycarbonate resin and can
withstand water, alcohol, oils, salts and
weak acids. Other fluids such as
alkalines, aromatic hydrocarbons and
halogenated hydrocarbons may melt or
swell the lens and case, please do not
have such fluids touch the lens and case.
5) If you use the sensor with a cover or
filter connected to the front of the sensor,
the sensor may detect the cover itself, the
detection distance can change, and
unstable operation can result.
6) When multiple sensors are to be used
side by side, please verify that there will
be no mutual interference by installing
them with the proper spacing, depending
on the type as shown below.
7) To protect the inner circuit, wiring
should be max. 3 m 9.843 ft..
4. Recommended installation
procedure
Install the photoelectric sensor so that it
is orientated correctly in relation to the
pass directions of the target objects as
shown in the figure below.
For the general precautions, refer to the
Notes for Motion Sensors on next page.
