Technical Description
The S5 series represent an
economical, full-line family of
18 mm tubular photoelectric
sensors. This broad-line
family is available in straight
or right angle tubular
housings with all the
following sensing modes
supported:
- Retroreflective
- Polarized retroreflective
- Diffuse scanner
- Fixed focus diffuse
scanner
- Fiber optics
- Emitter/receiver
The S5 versions operating
from 10 to 30 Vdc have dual
NPN/PNP output and light/
dark operation selection.
These units are also short-
circuit and reverse polarity
protected. The AC versions
accept any voltage from 15
to 264 Vac and are supplied
with Triac output.
Features
– AC versions (15 to
264 Vac)
– DC versions (10 to
30 Vdc)
– Green stability LED
– Light/dark selection
– Sensitivity control
– Straight or 90° optics
– Connection via cable or
M12 connector
– Test input models
– Fiber optic versions
– Plastic casing - IP67
– M18x1 tubular plastic
housing with IP67 rating
A red output LED indicator is
standard in all models. The
DC versions of the series are
provided with a green
stability LED to control
alignment.
S5 sensors are enclosed in a
plastic casing, which meets
protection class IP67.
Electrical connection may be
with a cable or using the
standard M12 DC micro
connector.
The wide range of models
available allow these sensors
to be used in a variety of
industrial applications
requiring solutions for critical
space and difficult access
situations. An MEK 18 mm
glass cover is available to
protect the lens when used
in the presence of corrosive
substances.
Applications
– Automatic packaging
machines
– Presence detection,
counting
– Transport and conveyor
lines
– Robotics and FMS
applications
– Small object detection
– Critical space situations

Sensing Data
The standard values for the operating ranges are referred to
ideal conditions, i.e. clean air, clean lenses, etc. Dust, air
pollution and other kinds of ambient contamination reduce the
operating ranges.
