Digital Laser Sensor
Easy setting, dual display
Equipped with 2 large 4-digit digital displays. While checking the current incident light intensity (red display), the
optimal threshold value (green display) can be set easily.
10 mm
2 switches enable simple operation
Only two switches, the large MODE key and the large jog switch, are required for operation.

Wiring and space saving
The quick-connection cables enable reductions in wiring.
(connector type)
The connections and man-hours for the relay terminal
setup can be reduced and valuable space is saved.
Also, LS-400 series amplifiers can of course be
connected side-by-side with a connector type amplifier
of FX-500/300 series digital fiber sensors or DPS-400
series digital pressure sensors.
Note: Because the transmission method varies depending on the
amplifiers, check the instruction manual for the amplifiers when
connecting them.
New release of type with upper communication functions to facilitate preventive maintenance!
Network communication possible
Can connect to Open Network CC-Link IE Field /
CC-Link / DeviceNet / EtherCAT via Communication
Unit for Open Network SC-GU3 series. Monitoring and
various settings can be done from PLC, PC, etc.

Threshold tracking function saves
maintenance time
This function seeks
changes in the light emitting
amount resulting from
changes in the environment
over long periods (such
as dust levels), so that
the incident light intensity
can be checked at desired
intervals and the threshold
values can be reset
automatically. This helps to
reduce the man-hours for
maintenance.
