Light seeps through semi-transparent
target object False detection Detection in a specific position
Note: Highly transparent objects cannot be detected.
Check with actual target objects before running
a machine.
And
Using an interference mutual protection filter,
it is possible to install up to four units side
by side*1without changing the orientation of
any of the units.
The combination of a standard switch and a
different frequency switch prevents interference
without installing an mutual interference protection
filter or reversing the orientation of one of the units.
Effective for up to two units side by side.*

Automatic interference suppression allows
two units to be installed in close proximity.*1
Two thru-scan switches (red and infrared) Four thru-scan switches (red) Diffuse-scan switch/retroreflective switch
Long-range thru-scan models have a light-operated indicator on the
front, and retroreflective models send out a visible red light beam for
light axis alignment over long distances.
Diffuse-scan models offer the best long-distance detection standards
in the industry along with consistent detection of darker colors.
Secure operating margin over a long distance
Simple to operate and delivers reliable detection
Due to high-intensity four-element LED, light spot is easy to be
recognized, helping to save time during light axis adjustment.
High-intensity red LED
Switches are designed to provide a high level of resistance to
sunlight (an industry-leading 40,000 lx) .

Tips for using the HP7-C retroreflective transparent object detection model
Detectable objects
Installation know-how
CASE If reflection from the target object is strong,
install the photoelectric switch at an angle to the target object.
CASE If objects such as plastic bottles cannot be detected because the light passes through them or is intensified,
adjust the positions of the photoelectric switch and the reflector.
CASE To detect round objects, install the switch as shown below.
As light axis misalignment affects the temperature characteristic, move the photoelectric switch back and forth and up and down to
locate the center of the range where the green indicator light turns on.
When installing the FE-RR17C transparent object detection reflector, do not tighten to a torque of more than 1 N·m.
Setup method
Reflector
Objects should block 10 % or more of the light.
Depending on the target object, detection may be unreliable even after performing tuning without a workpiece.
If so, try the following.
After adjusting the light axis, tune without a workpiece (not using a target object).
The switch will be automatically set to the optimum sensitivity for detecting transparent objects.
Use the switch in combination with the specified reflector.
Notes for reliable detection
Wait 3 minutes after power on before tuning or using the switch. This allows the internal temperature to stabilize.
If the ambient temperature varies after tuning and detection becomes unreliable, retune the switch.
Over the course of long-term use, variations in light intensity may be caused by factors such as dirt on the switch/reflector or light axis
misalignment due to vibration. Regular maintenance and cleaning will prevent such problems.
Retroreflective transparent object detection

 Designed for general industrial use, not for safety equipment.
Do not connect this device to AC power. Doing so might cause rupture or burnout.
Warning
•If a cable extension is necessary, use wire at least 0.3 mm2
in
cross-sectional area and at most 100 m long.
•
If the cable of photoelectric switch are laid in the same conduit as
high-voltage or power lines, inductance may cause malfunction or
damage. Isolate the photoelectric switch's cable or lay it in a
separate conduit.
•When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground
the frame ground and ground terminals. If used without grounding,
switching noise may cause faulty operation.
•
When using a load which generates an inrush current above the
switching capacity, such as a capacitive load or incandescent
lamp, connect a current-limiting resistor between the load and the
output terminals.
Otherwise, the output short-circuit protection function may be
activated.
Thru-scan model and polarized retroreflective model
1.
Move the emitter and receiver (Main body and reflector in case of a
retroreflective model) up, down, right, and left, and then align them in
the center of the area where the green stable-operation indicator
lights up.
2. Check switch operation using a target object then use the Auto
Adjust button to adjust the sensitivity setting.
Diffuse-scan model
1. Mount the photoelectric switch pointing toward the desired
detection position.
2. Check switch operation using a target object then use the Auto
Adjust button to adjust the sensitivity setting.
•Tighten the mounting screws to a maximum torque of 0.8 N·m.
•After the power is turned on, the switch starts to operate in 60 ms
at most (80 ms for HP7-C).
•For outdoor use, put inside a case, etc., To prevent direct exposure
to sunlight and rain water.
•Avoid locations with strong vibration or impact. They may cause
optical axis misalignment.
•Shield the lens from water and oil. Water or oil on the lens can
cause faulty operation.
•Do not expose to chemicals (Organic solvents, acids, alkalis).
•Use a cover or change the mounting direction to ensure correct
switch operation if there is heavy interference from ambient light.
•When used in a very dusty environment, be sure to take
countermeasures to keep dust away from the lens surface by using
a sealed case or air purging.
•Even when oil-resistant cable is used, do not use in a location
subject to continuous splashing by water or oil, or where the unit is
immersed in liquid. Ensure that the end of the cable is not subject
to splashing by water or oil.
•A bend in the cable immediately after it exits the device should
have a radius of a least 30 mm. Also, avoid use in which the cable
receives repeated bending stress. Do not apply a force of 50 N or
higher (30 N or higher for low-temperature cable types).
•Do not pull the cable with excessive force (> 50 N). cable
disconnection can cause burnout. Do not apply a force of 50 N or
higher (30 N or higher for low-temperature cable types).
•Photoelectric switches are assembled with precision. Never strike
with another object. Especially if the lens surface is scratched or
cracked, switch performance may decline.
Handle with care.
•To clean the lens or reflector, wipe lightly with a soft, clean cloth or
cloth moistened with water. Do not use an organic solvent such as
alcohol, benzene, acetone, or thinner.
•When multiple photoelectric switches are used close together,
mutual interference may occur. After installation, check the
operation carefully before use.
•Standard cable might get hardened under 0°C. Do not bend or
apply shock / vibration under 0°C. Low temperature cable is
available.
•Switch might not reliably detect highly reflective objects or objects
that disrupt polarization (ex.: Object covered with transparent film).
In such a case try the following countermeasures:
1. Handling precautions 2. Wiring precautions
3. Adjustment method
Sample countermeasures Mount the switch at an angle to the target object.
Increase the distance between the switch and
the target object.
Tune the switch without a workpiece.
HANDLING
