Adjustable Range Reflective Photoelectric Sensor RX-LS200 (Discontinued Products)

Cautions For Use

  • Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
  • In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.

Mounting

  • The tightening torque should be 1.17 N·m or less.

The tightening torque

  • Care must be taken regarding the sensor mounting direction with respect to the object’s direction of movement.

sensor mounting direction
  • When detecting a specular object (aluminum or copper foil) or an object having a glossy surface or coating, please take care that there are cases when the object may not be detected due to a small change in angle, wrinkles on the object surface, etc.
  • When a specular body is present below the sensor, use the sensor by tilting it slightly upwards to avoid wrong operation.
  • If a specular body is present in the background, wrong operation may be caused due to a small change in the angle of the background body. In that case, install the sensor at an inclination and confirm the operation with the actual sensing object.
  • Do not install the sensor at a distance of less than 50 mm 1.969 in from the object because the sensing is unstable in this range.

Wiring

  • The output of RX-LS200-P does not incorporate a shortcircuit protection circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power supply or a capacitive load.

Use conditions to comply with CE Marking

  • Following work must be done in case of using this product as a CE marking (European standard EMC Directive) conforming product.

    Ensure that the shield is connected to 0 V or the actual ground.

・In case of connecting a sensor to power supply 0 V by using a shield (piping, etc.)

In case of connecting a sensor to power supply 0 V by using
Note: The shield (piping, etc.) must be insulated.

・In case of grounding by using a shield (piping, etc.)

Others

  • Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.

Adjusting procedure
<When a sensing object moves horizontally to the sensor>

Step Description Distance adjuster
[1] Turn the distance adjuster fully counterclockwise to the minimum sensing range position (50 mm 1.969 in approx.).
(Do not turn excessively.)
Step1
[2] Place an object at the required distance from the sensor, turn the distance adjuster gradually clockwise, and find out point " [A] " where the sensor changes to the light received condition. Step2
[3] Remove the object, turn the distance adjuster further clockwise, and find out point " [B] " where the sensor changes to the light received condition again with only the background.
(When the sensor does not go to the light received condition even if the adjuster is fully turned clockwise, point " [B] " is this extreme point.)
Step3
[4] The optimum position to stably detect objects is the center point between " [A] " and " [B] ". Step4

<When a sensing object is approaching / moving away from the sensor>

  • Follow only steps [1] and [2] respectively. Since the sensing point may change depending on the sensing object, be sure to check the operation with the actual sensing object.
