Long range sensing capability to 2.5 m 8.202 ft
Stable sensing unaffected by color or gloss
Long sensing range
Impervious to variations color or angle
An adjustable range to 2.5 m 8.202 ft allows plenty of
space for installation.
1 m 3.281 ft sensing range type also available. Adjust
the volume easily to suit your needs when using at close
range.
The optical system has been optimized. Since the
sensor is hardly influenced at all by angles or the gloss
of objects compared to the previous model, it is possible
to detect both white objects and black objects at almost
a constant distance.

Hardly affected by background objects
The difference in sensing range between white non-glossy
paper and gray non-glossy paper (lightness: 5) is approx 5%
when set at a distance of 2 m 6.562 ft.
Because the sensor doesn’t detect objects outside the
preset sensing field by using the 2-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.
Note: Please note that malfunction may occur when there are specular
objects or objects with a mirror-like surface in the background.
Refer to the “PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE” section.

Multi-voltage
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 for more
stable sensing.
Because it can function with 24 to 240 V AC and 12 to
240 V DC, almost any power supply anywhere in the
world will do.

FUNCTIONS
EQ-51□
BGS / FGS functions make even the most challenging settings possible!
The BGS function is best suited for background not present
The FGS function is best suited for background present
When object and background are separated
BGS (Background suppression) function
When object and background are close
together
When the object is glossy or uneven
FGS (Foreground suppression) function
The sensor judges that an object is
present when light is received at position
A of the light-receiving element (2-segment
element).
This is useful if the object and background
are far apart.
Not affected if the background color changes
or someone passes behind the conveyor.
OFF
The sensor judges that no object is present
when light is received at position B of the light
receiving element (2-segment element) (The
conveyor is detected). This function is useful
if the object and the background are close
together or if the object is glossy or uneven.
However, sensing is impossible if there is no
background (conveyor, etc.).

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER 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.
200
7.874
•When a specular body is present below the sensor, use the
sensor by tilting it slightly upwards to avoid faulty operation.
Incorrect
Correct
Specular
face
Tilt
•This product is not easily affected by the reflected light
intensity since this sensor is the adjustable range reflective
type. When the reflected light intensity is remarkably low,
the sensing range may be affected. In that case, mount the
sensor, while checking light-up of the stable indicator (green).
•The mounting screws of the terminal cover and display cover
should certainly be tightened to maintain water-resistance;
the tightening torque of the screws should be 0.3 to 0.5 N·m.
Automatic interference prevention function
Sensing object
Sensing object
Sensing object
•When detecting a specular object (aluminum or copper foil,
etc.) or an object having a glossy surface or coating, please
note that there are cases when the object may not be detected
due to a change in angle, wrinkles on the object surface, etc.
• If a specular body is present in the background, faulty operation may
be caused due to a small change in the angle of the background
body. In that case, install the sensor at an inclination and confirm the
operation with the actual sensing object.

Wiring
Part description
•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.
•The mounting hole for the terminal cover fixing screws
inclines 70 degrees to the terminal cover, as shown in the
figure below.
To avoid damaging this product or screw, take care when
tightening or loosening a screw.

•To maintain water-resistance, the cable should have
an outer diameter between ø9 to ø11 mm ø0.354 to
ø0.433 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 1.5 to 2.0 N·m.
•If an external surge voltage exceeding 4 kV is impressed
(DC-voltage type: 1 kV), the internal circuit will be
damaged, and a surge suppressing element should be
used.
•Prepare the cable end as shown below.

Stability indicator
•EQ-5□T incorporates an OFF-delay timer, which is
useful when the response of the connected device is
slow, etc., and an ON-delay timer, which is useful for
detecting objects that move slowly, for example.
•The OFF-delay and ON-delay timers can be used
simultaneously.
•For DC-voltage type, set the DIP switch for the timer
mode to ‘Timer ON’ side.
•Since the EQ-500 series uses a 2-segment photodiode
as its receiving element, and sensing is done based
on the difference in the incident beam angle of the
reflected beam from the sensing object, the output and
the operation indicator (orange) operate according to
the object distance.
Furthermore, the stability indicator (green) shows the
margin of the setting distance.
