Basic Information
Miniature-sized and still mountable with M3 screws
UL,CE,UKCA Approved
UL : Recognition(Excluding 5 m cable length type)
Features
Miniaturization by using single chip optical IC
The beam-receiving photodiode and the A/D conversion circuit have been fabricated on a single chip optical IC (full custom). Hence, in spite of its miniature size, it has a performance and reliability which is equal to or better than the conventional product.
Incorporates a sensitivity adjuster even in this size
The sensor incorporates a sensitivity adjuster in spite of its miniature size. It is convenient when you need fine adjustment. Further, the receiver of the thru-beam, side sensing type sensor incorporates an operation mode switch which can change the output operation.
Long sensing range
The EX-20 series achieves long distance sensing [thru-beam type: 2 m 6.562 ft, retroreflective type: 200 mm 7.874 in (when using the attached reflector), diffuse reflective type: 160 mm 6.299 in], despite its miniature size.
Hence, it is usable even on a wide conveyor.
Clear beam spot using red LED dot light source
The emission area of a dot light source is smaller than that of a conventional LED flat light source, and it is possible to design a high power, narrow beam. Since a red LED dot light source is used, the red beam spot is clear even at a far place, so that alignment and confirmation of sensing position is easy. Further, since the thru-beam type, too, incorporates a visible narrow beam, it can also reliably detect small parts, such as, chip components, lead frames, etc.
Electric power saving*
The EX-20 series achieves reductions in power consumption of up to 65 %.
These sensors contribute to environmental friendliness.
Waterproof IP67 (IEC)
The sensors features an IP67 rating to allow their use in process lines where water is used or splashed. Rust-resistant stainless steel sensor mounting brackets are available.
Note:If water splashes on the sensor during sensing operation, it may sense water as an object.
Incorporated an inverter countermeasure circuit*
The EX-20 series become significantly stronger against inverter light and other extraneous light.
*Effective from production in April 2011.
Identical size
Front sensing type of thru-beam type and diffuse reflective type sensors have identical appearance.
Moreover, since the mounting holes are symmetrical with respect to the beam axis center, the design becomes easy.
Mounting section reinforced
It can be tightened with M3 screws. Moreover, metal inserts have been provided in the mounting holes so that the product is not damaged even in case of excess tightening.
Universal sensor mounting bracket is available
Universal sensor mounting bracket MS-EXL2-4 (for EX-22/23/26/28/29□) and MS-EX20-5 (for EX-23□ only) which can freely adjust the height and the angle of the sensor is available.
Mounting spacer for front sensing type is available
Mounting of the front sensing type is possible from the rear side by using the mounting spacer.
Slit mask is available
ø0.5 mm ø0.020 in round slit mask and 0.5 x 3 mm 0.020 x 0.118 in rectangular slit mask are available for both side sensing type and front sensing type sensors.
FUNCTIONS
Bright 2-color indicator
A bright 2-color indicator has been incorporated in all types. (Orange LED: Operation indicator, Green LED: Stability indicator)
Two types for suitable mounting
Two types, side sensing type and front sensing type sensors are available. Select depending on the place of mounting.

Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2) Model Nos. having the suffix "-PN" are PNP output type.
3) Either Light-ON or Dark-ON can be selected by the operation mode switch (located on the receiver).
4) The sensing range and the sensing object of the retroreflective type sensor are specified for the RF-200 reflector. Further, the sensing range is the possible setting range for the reflector. The sensor can detect an object less than 30 mm 1.181 in away. However, if the reflector is set 100 mm 3.937 in or less away, the sensing object should be opaque.
5) In case of using this product at a sensing range of 50 mm 1.969 in or less, take care that the sensitivity adjustment range becomes extremely narrow.
6) Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use.

Sensing field
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.
EX-24□
Convergent reflective type
Sensing fields
• Horizontal (left and right) direction
• Vertical (up and down) direction
Correlation between lightness and sensing range
The sensing region (typical) is represented by oblique lines in the left figure. However, the sensitivity should be set with enough margin because of slight variation in products.
(Lightness shown on the left may differ slightly from the actual object condition.)
Correlation between material (50 × 50 mm 1.969 × 1.969 in) and sensing range
The bars in the graph indicate the sensing range (typical) for the respective material.
However, there is a slight variation in the sensing range depending on the product.
Further, if there is a reflective object (conveyor, etc.) in the background of the sensing object, since it affects the sensing, separate it by more than twice the sensing range shown in the left graph.

Cautions For Use
- Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
- In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
Mounting
- Mount using M3 screws. The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.
Note:When mounting the front sensing type sensor, use M3 pan head screws without washers, etc.
Mounting method
- When mounting the front sensing type from the backside, fit the mounting spacer (MS-EX20-FS) and fix with screws.
1 Fit the mounting spacer on the sensor.
2 Align the mounting holes of the mounting spacer and the sensor and mount with M3 screws. The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.
Sensitivity adjustment (side sensing type only)
Step | Sensitivity adjuster | Description |
---|---|---|
1 | Turn the sensitivity adjuster fully counterclockwise to the minimum sensitivity position (• mark). | |
2 | In the light received condition, turn the sensitivity adjuster slowly clockwise and confirm the point Ⓐ where the sensor enters the “Light” state operation. | |
3 | In the dark condition, turn the sensitivity adjuster further clockwise until the sensor enters the “Light” state operation and then bring it back to confirm point Ⓑ where the sensor just returns to the “Dark” state operation. (If the sensor does not enter the “Light” state operation even when the sensitivity adjuster is turned fully clockwise, this extreme position is point Ⓑ .) | |
4 | The position at the middle of points Ⓐ and Ⓑ is the optimum sensing position. |
Notes:
1)Use the attached adjusting screwdriver to turn the adjuster slowly.
Turning with excessive strength will damage the adjuster.
2)In case of using EX-22□ at a sensing distance of 50 mm 1.969 in or less, take care that the sensitivity adjustment range becomes extremely narrow.
Operation mode switch (EX-23□ only)
Switch position | Description |
---|---|
Light-ON mode is obtained when the operation mode switch (located on the receiver) is turned fully clockwise (L side). | |
Dark-ON mode is obtained when the operation mode switch (located on the receiver) is turned fully counterclockwise (D side). |
Note:Operation mode switch should be turned fully till it stops.
Stability indicator
- The stability indicator (green) lights up when the incident light intensity has sufficient margin with respect to the operation level.
If the incident light intensity level is such that the stability indicator lights up, stable sensing can be done without the light received operation and the light interrupted operation being affected by a change in ambient temperature or supply voltage.
Glossy object sensing (EX-29□)
- Please take care of the following points when detecting materials having a gloss.
Wiring
- Excess bending of the cable or stress applied to the cable may disconnect the internal lead wire.
Others
- Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.
- If sensors are mounted close together and the ambient temperature is near the maximum rated value, provide for enough heat radiation / ventilation.
- If a reflective object is present in the background, the sensing of EX-28□ may be affected. When setting the sensor, make sure to confirm that the reflective object has no effect. In case the reflective object affects the sensing, take measures such as removing the reflective object or coloring it in black, etc.
