NOTE: Mounting bracket is not supplied with the sensor. Please select from the range of optional sensor mounting brackets.

Notes:

1)The model No. with "E" shown on the label affixed to the thru-beam type sensor is the emitter, "D" shown on the label is the receiver.

2)

The sensing range of the retroreflective type sensor is specified for the RF-230 reflector. The sensing range represents the actual sensing range of the sensor. The sensing ranges itemized in "A" of the table below may vary depending on the shape of sensing object. Be sure to check the operation with the actual sensing object.

5 m 16.4 ft cable length types

5 m 16.404 ft cable length types (standard: 2 m 6.562 ft, basic: 0.5 m 1.640 in) are available.
When ordering this type, suffix "-C5" for the 5 m 16.404 ft cable length type to the model No.
(Excluding CX-44□ and basic type.)
(e.g.)
5 m 16.404 ft cable length type of CX-411-P is "CX-411-P-C5"

M8 plug-in connector type, M12 pigtailed type

M8 plug-in connector type and M12 pigtailed type are also available.
When ordering this type, suffix "-Z" for the M8 connector type, "-J" for the M12 pigtailed type to the model No.
(Please note that M12 pigtailed type is not available for CX-44□. Excluding basic type.)
(e.g.)
M8 connector type of CX-411-P is "CX-411-P-Z"
M12 pigtailed type of CX-411-P is "CX-411-P-J"

Correlation between sensing object size and sensing range

CX-424□ Correlation between sensing object size and sensing range

As the sensing object size becomes smaller than the standard size (white non-glossy paper 200 × 200 mm 7.874 × 7.874 in), the sensing range shortens, as shown in the left graph.
(For plotting the left graph, the sensitivity has been set such that a 200 × 200 mm 7.874 × 7.874 in white non-glossy paper is just detectable at a distance of 100 mm 3.937 in.)
