## **Not affected by object color or background** 

## **Long sensing range 2 m 6.562 ft** 

As the **EQ-30** series is incorporated with a 2-segment photodiode as the receiving element with a unique circuitry, it detects an object at the same distance regardless of its color or the background beyond the adjusted sensing range.

( However, when the background is specular, it maybe necessary to change the angle of the sensor. ) 

~~ee~~ **Two distances (far and near) can be set EQ-34W** ~~__~~ 

## **Compact** 

## **Insusceptible to contamination on lens** 

With **EQ-34W** , two sensing distances, Far (Main) and Near (Sub), can be set. Hence, one sensor can suffice where, earlier, two were required. 

The fixed-focus sensing keeps the detectability better than diffuse reflective type sensors even if the lens is  contaminated by dirt, dust, mist, or smoke under an unclean environment. 

It saves space, since a miniaturized housing of W20 H68 D40 mm W0.787 H2.677 D1.575 in has been designed for the fixed-focus sensing sensor even though the adjustable sensing range is 2 m 6.562 ft long.

## **Automatic interference prevention** 

The **EQ-30** series is the first fixedfocus sensing reflective type sensor to incorporate an automatic interference prevention function so that two sets of sensors can be installed close together or facing each other. 

## **Plug-in connector type is available** 

Plug-in connector type, which can be easily disconnected for replacement is available. In case a problem occurs, anyone can replace the sensor in a minute. (Excluding **EQ-34W** ) 

## **Waterproof** 

## **Mechanical 2-turn adjuster with indicator** 

It features a mechanical 2-turn distance adjuster with an indicator that shows the set distance at a glance. 

It has IP67 protection. It can be used in places splashed with water.

Note: However, take care that if it is exposed to water splashes during operation, it may detect a water drop itself. 

## **Principle of fixed-focus sensing with 2-segment photodiode** 

Normal reflective type sensors operate by sensing the variation in the amount of incident beam. However, the fixed-focus reflective sensing type sensor incorporating the 2-segment photodiode operates by sensing the variation in the incident beam angle. Thus, the output is activated according to the distance of the object from the sensor. This system helps the **EQ-30** series in being unaffected by object color or a background, enabling stable sensing. 

4 Sensing is based on the difference in the incident beam angle of the dotted line and the solid line in the above figure. >

## **NOTE: Mounting bracket is not supplied with the sensor. Please select from the range of optional sensor mounting brackets (two types).** 

Note: The adjustable range stands for the maximum sensing range which can be set with the adjuster. The sensor can detect an object 0.1 m 0.328 ft, or more, away. 

However, the detectable range of Near (Sub) type of **EQ-34W** begins at 0.2 m 0.656 ft.

## **PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE** 

This product is not a safety sensor. Its use is not intended or designed to protect life and prevent body injury or property damage from dangerous parts of machinery. It is a normal object detection sensor. 

## **Mounting** 

- The tightening torque should be 0.8 N m or less. . 

## **Stability indicator** 

- Since the **EQ-30** 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 operate according to the object distance. 

Further, the stability indicator shows the margin of the incident light intensity and not that of the object distance. Hence, the distance at which it lights up/off depends on the object reflectivity and is not at all related to the output operation. Do not use the sensor when the stability indicator is off (unstable light received condition), since the sensing will be unstable. 

- Care must be taken regarding the sensor mounting direction with respect to the object’s direction of movement. 

Do not make the sensor detect an object in this direction because it may cause unstable operation. 

- When detecting a specular object (aluminum or copper foil) or an object having a glossy surface or coating, please take care that there are cases when the object may not be detected due to a small change in angle, wrinkles on the object surface, etc. 

- When a specular body is present below the sensor, use the sensor by tilting it slightly upwards to avoid wrong operation. 

## **Others** 

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

- When connecting the mating cable to the plug-in connector type, the tightening torque should be 0.4N m or less. 

- If a specular body is present in the background, wrong 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. 

- Take care that some objects may produce a dead zone right in front of the sensor.

## **Distance adjustment** 

## **EQ-34W** 

## **<Adjusters>** 

Notes: 1) Turn the distance adjuster gradually and lightly with the attached screwdriver. 

If the distance adjuster is over turned or pressed heavily, it may be damaged. 

Notes: 2) The Far (Main) distance adjustment should be done before the Near (Sub) distance adjustment. Take care that the Near (Sub) setting distance changes with change in the Far (Main) setting distance.
