The transistor output is held OFF for 0.5 sec. after supplied power in order to prevent malfunction of this
photoelectricsensor (except through-beam type).
If the control output terminal is short-circuited or flow beyond rated current, the control signal is not output normally due
to protection circuit.

Mounting and sensitivity adjustment

Install the sensor to the desired place and check the con-
nections. Supply the power to the sensor and adjust the
optical axis and the sensitivity as follow ;
Diffuse reflective/Narrow beam reflective type
1. The sensitivity should be adjusted depending on a sens-
ing target or mounting place.
Photoelectric sensor
Sensing target
2. Set the target at a position to be detected by the beam,
then turn the adjustment VR until position where the
operation indicator turns ON from min. position of the
adjustment VR.
3. Take the target out of the sensing area, then turn the
adjustment VR until position where the the operation
indicator turns ON. If the indicator dose not turn ON,
max. position is .
4. Set the adjustment VR at the center of two switching
position , .
The sensing distance indicated on specification chart is
for 100100mm or 5050mm of non-glossy white paper.
Be sure that it can be different by size, surface and gloss
of target.
Optimal
position
Retroreflective type
1. Supply the power to the photoelectric sensor, after
setting the photoelectric sensor and the reflector(MS-2)
in face to face.
2. Set the photoelectric sensor in the position which
indicator turns on, as adjusting the reflector or the
sensor right and left, up and down.
3. Fix both units tightly after checking that the unit detects
the target.
If using more than 2 photoelectric sensors in parallel,
the space between them should be more than 30cm.
If reflectance of target is higher than non-glossy white
paper, it might cause malfunction by reflection from
the target when the target is near to photoelectric sensor.
Therefore put enough space between the target and the
photoelectric sensor or the surface of the target should
be installed at angle of 30 to 45 against optical axis.
(When a sensing target with high reflectance near by,
photoelectric sensing with the polarizing filter should be
used.)
Sensitivity adjustment: Refer to the diffuse reflective types.

If the mounting place is too

1. Supply the power to the photoelectric sensor, after
setting the emitter and the receiver facing each other. <MS-4>
2. Set the receiver in center of position in the middle of the
operation range of indicator adjusting the receiver or the
emitter right and left, up and down.
3. After adjustment, check the stability of operation putting
the object at the optical axis.
If the sensing target is translucent body or smaller
than 15mm, it can be missed by sensor cause light
