Keyence LR-ZH500C3P CMOS Sensor 500 mm

Keyence LR-ZH500C3P CMOS Laser Sensor

Product Introduction

The Keyence LR-ZH500C3P belongs to the LR-Z series of self-contained CMOS laser photoelectric sensors. This rectangular unit uses distance and contrast detection for reliable performance. It comes with a PNP output and an M8 3-pin connector. The LR-ZH500C3P suits many industrial automation tasks. These include part presence checks, positioning, and height difference detection. Its C3P connector type also supports IO-Link v1.1 communication.

Technical Specifications

The detecting distance ranges from 35 to 500 mm. Standard detectable deviation varies by range. For 35 to 180 mm, it is 9 mm. From 180 to 300 mm, it is 25 mm. Between 300 and 400 mm, it is 40 mm. Finally, for 400 to 500 mm, it is 50 mm. The display resolution is 1 to 5, equating to 1 to 5 mm. The spot diameter is approximately ø3 mm. A red laser with a 660 nm wavelength serves as the light source. This laser is Class 2 per IEC60825-1 and FDA CDRH Part1040.10. Response time is selectable among 1.5 ms, 10 ms, and 50 ms. A timer function offers OFF, ON-delay, OFF-delay, and one-shot modes.

Electrical and Communication Parameters

The supply voltage is 10 to 30 VDC with 10% ripple (P-P). Power consumption is 450 mW or less. At 24 V, current draw is 18 mA or less. At 12 V, it is 34 mA or less. The output type is PNP open collector. Applied voltage is 30 VDC or less. Control current is 100 mA or less. Residual voltage is 1.2 V or less at 10 mA or less. Output operation is selectable between Light-ON and Dark-ON. Built-in ports are absent. However, IO-Link v1.1 and COM2 (38.4 kbps) are available on this C3P connector-type model. Communication expansion is not available.

Mechanical and Environmental Data

The Keyence LR-ZH500C3P has an M8 3-pin connector. Its protection rating is IP68 (IEC60529) and IP69K (DIN40050-9). It also meets NEMA 4X, 6P, and 13 standards. Operating temperature is -10 to +50 °C with no freezing. Storage temperature is -25 to +75 °C with no freezing. Relative humidity is 35 to 85 % RH with no condensation. The weight is approximately 0.055 kg as reported by the supplier. Dimensions (H×W×D) are not available.

Installation Guide

First, mount the sensor using its rectangular body. Ensure the mounting surface is flat and stable. Next, connect the M8 3-pin connector to the power and signal lines. Verify the supply voltage is within 10 to 30 VDC. Then, adjust the spot position to target the detection area. The ø3 mm spot helps with precise alignment. After that, set the response time to match your application speed. You can choose 1.5 ms, 10 ms, or 50 ms. Besides, select Light-ON or Dark-ON operation as needed. Finally, test the output signal with a suitable load. Keep the control current below 100 mA. Since this is a C3P connector-type model, you can also use IO-Link v1.1 for setup and monitoring. This sensor works well in washdown areas due to its IP68/IP69K rating.
