Self-contained PZ Series Features World s smallest photoelectric sensors Excellent mirror surface detection IP-7 rated waterproof can operate side by side Detecting Distance Thrubeam 7, Retro-reflective with Polarised filter, Description Greatly improved serviceability Mounting the sensor body and routing the cable can be performed independently, reducing time and labour. If replacing the sensor body with a new one because of damage, or if replacing the sensor body with a different model because of changes in specifications, you have only to replace the sensor body. Highly durable metallic trier head Unlike conventional resin head models, a metallic head cannot easily be defaced or cracked. Diffuse-reflective to Side-by-side installation of two sensors The PZ-(P), PZ-(P), and PZ-(P) can operate at alternate-frequencies, enabling two sensors to be mounted in close proximity. Newly developed P.R.O. function P.R.O. function: The PZ- s optical system is constructed so that the transmitter emits only the horizontal component of the light wave through the horizontal polarising filter and the receiver receives only the vertical component through the vertical polarising filter. This allows mirror-surfaced targets to be detected stably.

PZ Self-contained Hints on Correct Use Retro-reflective type with P.R.O. function When the target is of highly glossy resin or film, the sensor may not detect it stably. To detect such targets stably, tilt the sensor by to in regard to the vertical surface of the traveling target. Mounting Use the special mounting bracket supplied to mount the sensor. According to the mounting location, mount it as illustrated below. Mounting method Mounting method Handling the connector Be sure to insert the connector completely then press the lock. If the connector is not inserted completely, the watertightness will be lost. Disconnecting the connector from the sensor. Lift the lock using a slim screwdriver, etc. Caution: Do not lift the lock by or more.. While holding the connector, disconnect it from the sensor. Do not pull the cable. Connecting the connector to the sensor. Insert the connector into the sensor completely. Mount the sensor at a torque of. N m or less. With the diffuse-reflective type and retro-reflective type, combination of the normal and alternate-frequency types allows up to two sensors to be mounted in close proximity. (Response time of the alternate-frequency type sensor is ms.) (PZ-D(P)/D(P)/D only) [Note] Up to two sensors can be mounted side by side. If a third sensor is used, it needs be mounted far enough away from the others so that they do not interfere with each other. Check that the third Separate to prevent interference one does not interfere with the first two under actual detecting conditions, then mount it. When two or more thrubeam type sensors are mounted close to each other, alternate the transmitter and receiver. This reduces mutual interference and stabilises detection. When the detecting distance is. m or less, attach the polarizing filter. This allows you to mount up to two sensors in close proximity. Transmitter Receiver. Press the lock. Excessively frequent connecting and disconnecting deteriorates the packing, causing the watertightness to be lost. Limit the frequency of connecting and disconnecting to times or less. The sensor cable has a tensile strength of kg for second maximum. Do not use excessive force to pull the cable. Wiring Limit the cable length to m or less. Optional attachment kit specially designed for thrubeam type Slit plate and polarizing filter (A-) The optional slit plate and/or polarizing filter can be attached to the thrubeam type (PZ- and -P). To detect or position thin (minute) targets, use the slit plate. And, to prevent mutual interference, use the polarizing filter. Both of the slit plate and polarizing filter can be attached to the sensor at the same time. Receiver Transmitter The type slit plates (different in slit width) and polarizing filter are packaged in the A- attachment kit. According to the application, use the appropriate attachment.
