Basic Information
Multi-voltage photoelectric sensor usable worldwide
CE,GB,UKCA Approved
GB : Standard type : Certified, 5m cable length type : Certified (for sales in China only)
Features
Multi-voltage
The NX5 series can operate at 24 to 240 V AC or 12 to 240 V DC, which makes it suitable for supply voltages around the world.
Compact size
Despite of being multi-voltage, it has a depth of just 35 mm 1.378 in. (W18 x H62 x D35 mm W0.709 x H2.441 x D1.378 in)
Long sensing range
It is most suitable for conveyor lines and parking lot applications.
High reliability
It has an IP66 protection. Moderate dust or water splashes will not affect the sensor. The hermetically sealed output relay significantly increases its reliability.
Easy alignment
The 10 m 32.808 ft thru-beam type sensor incorporate a red LED beam source. Beam alignment can be attained by checking the emitted beam visually.
Interference prevention
Two sensors can operate normally even if mounted close together.
(Excluding the 30 m 98.425 ft thru-beam type sensor)

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 700 mm 27.559 in.)
------------------------------ Tab9 showing ------------------------------
Mounting
- The tightening torque should be 0.8 N·m or less.
Others
- Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.
- Although the protection degree is specified for the sensor including the cable, the cable end is not waterproof, and is not covered by the protection specified. Hence, make sure that water does not seep in from the cable end.
Interference prevention filter (Exclusively for NX5-M10R□)
- Use the interference prevention filters (optional) when two units of thru-beam type sensors are mounted close together. However, take note that the sensing range will become short.
- There are 2 types of interference prevention filters. Install PF-NX5-H (Horizontal, Light brown) for 1 set, and install PF-NX5-V (Vertical, Silver color) for the other set.
Note:The filters cannot be used for NX5-M30A、NX5-M30B.
Retroreflective type sensor (NX5-RM7□)
- Please take care of the following points when detecting materials having a gloss.
[1]Make L, shown in the diagram, Make L sufficiently long sufficiently long.
[2]Install at an angle of 10 to 30 degrees to the sensing object.
* NX5-PRVM5□ does not need the above adjustment.
Retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters (NX5-PRVM5□)
Example of sensing objects
- If a shiny object is covered or wrapped with a transparent film, such as those described below, the retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters may not be able to detect it.
In that case, follow the steps given below. - Can wrapped by clear film
- Aluminum sheet covered by plastic film
- Gold or silver color (specular) label or wrapping paper
Steps
- Tilt the sensor with respect to the sensing object while fitting.
- Reduce the sensitivity.
- Increase the distance between the sensor and the sensing object.
