Keyence LR-ZB100C3P CMOS Laser Sensor PNP M8

Keyence LR-ZB100C3P CMOS Laser Sensor PNP M8

Product Introduction

The LR-ZB100C3P belongs to the Keyence LR-Z series. This self-contained CMOS laser photoelectric sensor uses distance and contrast detection. Moreover, it covers a detecting distance of 35 to 100 mm. The unit delivers a PNP open collector output and connects through an M8 3-pin plug. Additionally, IO-Link v1.1 support enables parameter download and remote monitoring. Its rectangular housing fits narrow mounting spaces on conveyors and assembly stations. Meanwhile, IP68 and IP69K ratings resist dust, water, and high-pressure cleaning. As a result, the LR-ZB100C3P suits electronics, packaging, and small-part detection tasks.

Technical Specifications

The LR-ZB100C3P offers a detecting distance of 35 to 100 mm. Standard detectable deviation is 1.5 mm for 35 to 50 mm and 3 mm for 50 to 100 mm. Display resolution is 2, equal to 0.2 mm. Besides, the spot diameter measures approximately 2 x 1 mm at 100 mm. A red laser with a 660 nm wavelength serves as the light source. It falls under laser class 1 per IEC60825-1 and FDA CDRH Part1040.10. Response time is selectable among 1.5 ms, 10 ms, and 50 ms. Furthermore, the timer supports OFF, ON-delay, OFF-delay, and one-shot operation.

Communication and Electrical Data

For communication, the LR-ZB100C3P provides IO-Link v1.1 and COM2 at 38.4 kbps on CB/C3P connector-type models. However, built-in ports are absent. The supply voltage ranges from 10 to 30 VDC with 10% ripple, Class 2 or LPS. Power consumption stays at 450 mW or less. Specifically, current draw is 18 mA or less at 24 V and 34 mA or less at 12 V. Output type is PNP open collector with 30 VDC or less applied voltage. Control current reaches 100 mA or less, while residual voltage stays at 1.2 V or less at 10 mA or less. Output operation switches between Light-ON and Dark-ON.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The operating temperature range is -10 to +50 °C without freezing. Storage temperature spans -25 to +75 °C. Relative humidity remains between 35 and 85 % RH without condensation. Protection ratings include IP68, IP69K, and NEMA 4X / 6P / 13. These ratings confirm resistance to washdown, dust, and harsh chemicals. The sensor weighs roughly 0.055 kg. Dimensions are not available from the supplier. Therefore, confirm bracket clearance before mounting.

Installation Guide

First, mount the LR-ZB100C3P using its rectangular body and a standard bracket. Next, wire the M8 3-pin connector to the supply and output lines. Then, set the voltage within 10 to 30 VDC. After that, choose Light-ON or Dark-ON based on your control logic. Furthermore, select a response time of 1.5 ms, 10 ms, or 50 ms for your cycle. Finally, configure the timer if delay or one-shot action is required. For IO-Link use, connect the sensor to a compatible master. Besides, avoid strong ambient light and reflective backgrounds during setup. The IP68 and IP69K ratings permit washdown cleaning, yet the connector must stay sealed.
