Part description

Operation mode switch

BGS/FGS function (DC-voltage type only)

 DC-voltage type sensor incorporates BGS/FGS function.

Select either the BGS or FGS function depending on the

positions of the background and sensing object.

 BGS/FGS function is set with the operation mode switch.

 FGS function is used when the sensing object contacts

the background (conveyor, etc).

 Depends on a selection of either BGS or FGS function,

the output operation changes as follows.

 Check all wiring before applying power since incorrect

wiring may damage the internal circuit. Also, carefully

tighten the terminal screws so that the wires of adjacent

terminals do not touch.

 The mounting hole for the terminal cover fixing screws

inclines 70 degrees to the terminal cover, as shown in the

figure below.

To avoid damaging this product or screw, take care when

tightening or loosening a screw.

Notes: 1)  The operation mode switch of the DC-voltage type is the DIP switch. 

Refer to “DC-voltage type” of 

“Operation mode switch”

 for details.

2) Incorporated on 

EQ-5□T

 only.

Note:  Turn the operation mode switch gradually and lightly with the attached 

screwdriver. Turning with excessive strength will cause damage to the 

adjuster.

Multi-voltage type (L-ON/D-ON mode only)

DC-voltage type

Operation mode switch

Description

Detection-ON mode is obtained when the switch 

is turned fully clockwise (L side).

Detection-OFF mode is obtained when the switch

is turned fully counterclockwise (D side).

To maintain water-resistance, the cable should have

an outer diameter between ø9 to ø11 mm 

ø0.354 to

ø0.433 in

 with a smooth covering material that allows the

attached conduit connector to be securely tightened; the

tightening torque of the screw should be of 1.5 to 2.0 N·

m.

 If an external surge voltage exceeding 4 kV is impressed

(DC-voltage type: 1 kV), the internal circuit will be

damaged, and a surge suppressing element should be

used.

 Prepare the cable end as shown below.

 If pressure terminals are to be used, affix the connected

pressure terminals to a terminal (M3.5 screw).

Conduit connector construction and cabling

Note:  When assembling the conduit connector, pay attention to the direction 

of the gland packing. 

Furthermore, in order to maintain water-resistance, fit the gland 

packing such that the seating surface of the gland packing contacts 

the packing holder part of the terminal cover evenly.
