EQ-5 SERIES ADJUSABLE RANGE REFLECIVE PHOOELECRIC SENSOR Multi-voltage Amplifier Built-in Long sensing range.5 m Multi-voltage EQ5 Because it can function with to V AC and to V DC, almost any power supply anywhere in the world will do. EQ5 Introducing the new DC-voltage type equipped with BGS / FGS function We ve added a DC-voltage type with NPN and PNP transistor outputs all in one sensor. Its BGS / FGS function controls any background effects f stable sensing. Not affected by background objects Because the sensor doesn t detect objects outside the preset sensing field by using the -segment photodiode adjustable range system, it will not malfunction even if someone walks behind the sensing object or machines or conveyors are in the background. Impervious to variations color or angle Due to its advanced optical system, the sensor is not affected by variations in the object s angle or gloss compared to conventional sensors. Moreover, as the difference in sensing range between black and white varies by only approx. 5 % (Note), sensing can be performed at a somewhat constant distance even if the sensing object is black or white. Refer to p.96 for the BGS / FGS functions. Note: Example of the difference in sensing range between black non-glossy (Lightness: 5) and white nonglossy when the setting distance is set at m 6.56 ft. 9

EQ-5 PRECAUIS FOR PROPER USE Wiring Make sure that the power supply is off while wiring. Check all wiring before applying power since incorrect wiring may damage the internal circuit. Also, carefully tighten the terminal screws so that the wires of adjacent terminals do not touch. he mounting hole for the terminal cover fixing screws inclines 7 degrees to the terminal cover, as shown in the figure below. o avoid damaging this product or screw, take care when tightening or loosening a screw. Round type Screw for terminal cover fixing Screwdriver o maintain water-resistance, the cable should have an outer diameter between "9 to " mm ".5 to ". in with a smooth covering material that allows the attached conduit connector to be securely tightened; the tightening torque of the screw should be of.5 to. N m. Verify that the supply voltage variation is within the rating. If power is supplied from a commercial switching regulator, ensure that the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the power supply is connected to an actual ground. In case noise generating equipment (switching regulator, inverter motor, etc.) is used in the vicinity of this sensor, connect the frame ground (F.G.) terminal of the equipment to an actual ground. Do not run the wires together with high-voltage lines or power lines or put them in the same raceway. his can cause malfunction due to induction. If an external surge voltage exceeding kv is impressed (DCvoltage type: kv), the internal circuit will be damaged, and a surge suppressing element should be used. Prepare the cable end as shown below. Conduit connector construction and cabling 7 mm.57 in Gland packing (Note) Gland 5 mm.98 in Note: When assembling the conduit connector, pay attention to the direction of the gland packing. Furthermore, in order to maintain water-resistance, fit the gland packing such that the seating surface of the gland packing contacts the packing holder part of the terminal cover evenly. he size of conduit is M.5.
