Adjustable Range Reflective Photoelectric Sensor
EQ-500
Long range sensing capability to 2.5 m
Stable sensing unaffected by color or material
Long sensing range
An adjustable range to 2.5 m
space for installation.
1 m 3.281 ft sensing range type also available. Adjust
the volume easily to suit your needs when using at close
range.
Hardly affected by background objects
Because the sensor doesn't detect objects outside the
preset sensing field by using the 2-segment photodiode
adjustable range system, it will not malfunction even if
someone walks behind the sensing object or machines
or conveyors are in the background.
Note: Please note that malfunction may occur when there are specular
objects or objects with a mirror-like surface in the background.
Refer to p.7 "Mounting" of
USE" section.

Impervious to variations color or angle
The optical system has been optimized. Since the
sensor is hardly influenced at all by angles or the gloss
of objects compared to the previous model, it is possible
to detect both white objects and black objects at almost
a constant distance.
The difference in sensing range between white non-glossy
paper and gray non-glossy paper (lightness: 5) is approx 5%
when set at a distance of 2 m 6.562
