Product catalog summary
Installation and Adjustment Procedures
  • Projector and Receiver Alignment: Align the projector and receiver by moving them until the operation LED is activated, then secure them in the center of this range for stability.
  • Polarized Retroreflective Installation: Position the reflector perpendicular to the optical axis and adjust the SA1E switch for optimal LED activation.
  • Diffuse-Reflective and Other Types: Ensure the SA1E switch is positioned to detect objects effectively, maintaining a stable operation LED in both incident and interruption states.
Sensitivity Adjustment
  • Adjust sensitivity using the provided table, especially for small or translucent objects, with a maximum torque of 0.05 N·m.
  • Ensure the stable LED is on during stable incident and interruption states; use an optional slit for small objects.
Power Supply and Wiring
  • Do not use the SA1E switch immediately after power-on; use a power supply with minimal noise within the rated voltage range.
  • Ground the FG terminal with a switching power supply to prevent noise interference and avoid parallel wiring with high-voltage lines.
Installation Guidelines
  • Avoid extreme conditions like heat, vibration, or chemical exposure during installation.
  • Prevent direct light from entering the receiver and maintain appropriate distances between switches to avoid interference.
  • Regularly clean and maintain optical elements to ensure performance.
Specifications and Features
  • SA1U sensors offer universal voltage compatibility, IP67 rating, and multiple sensing methods including through-beam and polarized retroreflective.
  • Features include operation and stable LED indicators, SPDT contact for relay output, and NPN/PNP open collector outputs.
  • Sensing range up to 50m for through-beam and various ranges for other types, with specific power and control output details.
Specifications: The document details specifications for through-beam projectors and other photoelectric sensors, including universal voltage power supply circuits and relay contact output as SPDT. Main circuit configurations include PNP and NPN types.
