Product Description
RS PRO 729-5173 Background Suppression Photoelectric Sensor is a compact block style sensor designed for reliable detection in industrial automation tasks. Operating with a DC voltage up to 30V and a rapid 625μs response time, this sensor enables precise background suppression to differentiate objects at distances ranging from 5 mm to 250 mm. Its NPN output type supports common industrial wiring and control systems.
The sensor features an IP67-rated enclosure crafted from durable ABS and polycarbonate materials to protect against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for harsh industrial and manufacturing environments. It is mounted securely using the supplied stainless-steel bracket for versatile installation on machine frames or conveyor systems.
Equipped with a 4-pin male M8 connector, the sensor allows easy and standardized connection to automation equipment. The sensor uses a visible 650nm red LED light source optimized to detect polymethyl methacrylate and similar reflective plastics. On-site sensitivity adjustment is enabled via a five-turn mechanical potentiometer spindle, further enhancing detection accuracy.
Indicator LEDs include a green LED to confirm supply presence and a yellow LED to indicate received light status, facilitating alignment and diagnostics during commissioning and operation. The product is compliant with CE, RoHS, and UL standards, ensuring quality and safety in industrial applications.
Typical applications include detection of PMMA components on assembly conveyors, presence verification in compact automation systems, short-range counting of reflective parts, and integration with PLCs requiring NPN switching outputs. Its robust construction and high performance make it ideal for industrial automation, manufacturing, material handling, and production monitoring tasks.
Compact background suppression sensor for industrial detection tasks. Operating voltage up to 30V DC with fast 625μs response time. Robust IP67 rated ABS and polycarbonate housing protects against dust and water. Detects polymethyl methacrylate and reflective plastics with a 650nm LED source.
