INSTRUCTION MANUAL Spot size 1.24×6.7mm (rectangular)
Display teaching
The set reference color can be displayed on the teaching indicator.
Response time 500㎲ With the ability to check the set reference color there is no need to re-set the teaching color every time.
Power supply 12-24VDCᜡ ±10% (ripple P-P: max. 10%) It may difficult to check the similar colors when installing multiple sensors.
Current consumption Max. 30mA Teaching indicator color is available only for reference.
Light source Full Color LED (red, green, blue) ※The teaching color and the color displayed on the teaching indicator may differ depending on
Sensing mode C (color only) mode, C+I (color + intensity) mode
environment conditions (ambient light, reflection angle, material, etc.) Stability indicator (green LED) ON
Sensing mode, sensitivity setting (color tolerance) OFF
Output mode Color match output, color mismatch output Two sensing modes; C (color only) mode discriminates by color rate and C+I (color +intensity) mode
Output timer 40ms OFF delay timer function discriminates by color rate and contrast. Operation indicator (red LED) ON

Protection circuit Reverse polarity protection, output short over current protection Turn the color match/mismatch switch towards N.O. ※The waveforms of “Operation indicator” and “Transistor output” are for color match mode operation.
- Color mismatch mode (N.C.): Output ON when target color does not match reference color. They are opposite operation for color mismatch mode operation.
Operation indicator: Red LED, Stability indicator: Green LED, Turn the color match/mismatch switch towards N.C.
