Adjustable Range Reflective Photoelectric Sensor

 

Amplifier Built-in

 

Multi-voltage

EQ-500

 

SERIES

Long range sensing capability to 2.5 m 

8.202 ft

Stable sensing unaffected by color or material

Recognition

Long sensing range

An adjustable range to 2.5 m 

8.202 ft

 allows plenty of 

space for installation.

1 m 

3.281 ft

 sensing range type also available. Adjust 

the volume easily to suit your needs when using at close 

range.

Hardly affected by background objects

Because the sensor doesn’t detect objects outside the 

preset sensing field by using the 2-segment photodiode 

adjustable range system, it will not malfunction even if 

someone walks behind the sensing object or machines 

or conveyors are in the background.

Note:  Please note that malfunction may occur when there are specular 

objects or objects with a mirror-like surface in the background. 

Impervious to variations color or angle

The optical system has been optimized. Since the 

sensor is hardly influenced at all by angles or the gloss 

of objects compared to the previous model, it is possible 

to detect both white objects and black objects at almost 

a constant distance.

Convenient terminal block type

Cabling enabled 

by way of a 

terminal block 

that eliminates 

waste.

MOUNTING

Conduit connector 

Terminal block 

Certified

(Multi-voltege type only)

An easy to set adjuster with indicator

Equipped with a 2-turn adjuster with indicator, making it 

easy to set for short or long distances.
