Model No. EQ-501 EQ-501T EQ-502 EQ-502T
Utilization category AC-12/DC-12
Impulse withstand voltage 2.5 kV
Output minimum operational current DC 5 V 1 mA or more
Turn on time　／　Turn off time (Note 3) 20 ms / 20 ms
Maximum response frequency (Note 4) 25 Hz
Pollution degree 3 (Industrial environment)
Class of protection against electric shock Out of classification
Excess gain 12 % (Note 5)

Note:

1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2) Be sure to add a short-circuit protection (a fuse or a breaker) to the power supply input and the output.
In addition, use 5A or less fast blow fuse or breaker.
3) Turn-On time and Turn-OFF time are the delay time between reference sensor and measurement sensor in case round plate rotates as below.
4) The maximum response frequency is the value calculated below.
Maximum response frequency = １ / (Turn on time＋Turn off time)
5) Excess gain is the value in case the distance setting adjuster is positined in maximum state.
In addition, sensing object 200mm x 200mm is the value in case of non-glossy white paper.
