2)The load should be actuated by (supply voltage – 4 V) in the ON state.

3)The current in the ON state should be between 5 to 100 mA DC.
[In case the current is less than 5 mA, connect a bleeder resistance in parallel to the load (shown in dotted line above) so that a current of 5 mA, or more, flows.]

RX-D700 Sensing field

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.)

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.

Wiring

  • The self-diagnosis output does not incorporate a shortcircuit protection circuit. Do not connect it directly to a power supply or a capacitive load.

Mounting

  • The tightening torque should be 1.17 N·m or less.

Mounting

Others

  • Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.

RX-RVM5
Glossy object sensing

  • Please take care of the following points when detecting materials having a gloss.

[1] Make L, shown in the diagram, sufficiently long.
[2] Install at an angle of 10 to 30 degrees to the sensing object.

Glossy object sensing

RX-PRVM3 RX2-PRVM2
Retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters

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.

RX2-□
Wiring

  • Always connect the sensor to the power supply through a load. If the sensor is connected to the power supply directly, the short-circuit protection makes the sensor inoperable. (The output stays in the OFF state and no indicator lights up.) If this happens, connect the sensor to the power supply through a load.
    Further, note that the sensor will be damaged if the power supply is connected in reverse without a load.

Wiring

  • Do not connect sensors in series (AND circuit).

Do not connect sensors in series (AND circuit).

  • The residual voltage of the sensor is 4 V. Before connecting to a relay, be aware of the actuation voltage of the relay.
    (Not all 12 V relays may be connected as the load.)

RX4-□
Connection of protective tube connector

  • Connect the junction connector securely as shown below. The tightening torque should be 0.98 N·m or less.
