1. Basic operation
● When a hand is touched to the sensing surface, thru-beam
type photoelectric sensor detects the hand, and output turns
ON or OFF.
FUNCTIONS
5
2. Output
● Three semiconductor photo MOS relays are incorporated.
Output 1 : When an object is detected (beam is interrupted)
:
OFF
/
When an object is not detected (beam is received)
:
ON
Output 2, 3 : When an object is detected (beam is interrupted)): ON /
When an object is not detected (beam is received)
:
OFF
Note: When the power of the thru-beam type photoelectric sensor inside the main body turns
ON in beam interrupted condition, output 1 turns ON, while outputs 2 and 3 turn OFF,
then the fault indicator (yellow) lights up. In this case, once beam is received, the fault
indicator turns OFF and the sensor returns to normal operation.
3. Time-out function
● Unintended beam interrupted condition caused by dirt on the sensing surface,
etc. can be monitored.
• When beam interrupted condition (sensing condition) continues for 10 sec.
or more, output 1 turns ON, while output 2 and 3 turn OFF (output condition
is the same as non-sensing condition.)
• This function can be invalid by short-circuiting “between switching terminals
of time-out function (terminal No. 7 and No. 8)” as described below.
Note: When time-out function is operated, the fault indicator (yellow) lights up. In this case,
once beam is received, the fault indicator turns OFF and the sensor returns to normal
operation.

terminals of time-out function

4. External input function
● External input indicators 1 and 2 of this product light up by the signal from
external input.
External input indicators 1 and 2:
Lights up when external input indicators 1 and 2 are valid (0 to 1V or 10V to +V).
Turns OFF when external input indicators 1 and 2 are invalid (4 to 6V or open).

Connecting to the terminal block
● When connecting to the terminal block, push the cable
with ferrule terminal into the back of the mounting hole.
If the cable is properly inserted, the lock is completed
and the cable does not fall if it is pulled.
● In case of using twisted wire directly, hold down the
release button and plug the cable into the back as
shown in the right figure. Conforming cable diameter
is shown below.
● In case of removing, hold down the release button and
pull the cable.

● This product has been developed / produced for industrial use only.
● Confirm the wiring before power is supplied, as wrong wiring will damage the
internal circuit.
● Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating.
● If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame
ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground.
● Use a power supply unit conforming to the EMC Directive and the Low Voltage
Directive. (Only for use in Europe)
● Use a power supply unit conforming to CLASS 2. (Only for use in the United States)
● Use a power supply unit with an output holding time of 20ms or more.
● Do not use during the initial transient time (approx. 300ms) after the power
supply is switched ON.
● Make sure to use an isolation transformer for the DC power supply. If an auto-transformer
(single winding transformer) is used, this product or the power supply may get damaged.
● In case a surge is generated in the used power supply, connect a surge ab
-
sorber to the source and absorb the surge.
● Make sure that the power is OFF while wiring.
● Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put
them in the same raceway. This can cause malfunction due to induction.
● In order to reduce noise, make the wiring as short as possible.
●
Do not use this product in places having excessive vapor, dust, etc.
● Take care that the product does not come in contact with oil, grease, or or
-
ganic solvents such as thinner, etc.
● Do not hit the product by a hammer etc. when mounting, as the product get damaged.
● This product is suitable for indoor use only.
