Product Introduction
This PZ-G101N sensor from Keyence provides reliable object detection for automated machinery. Its narrow view reflective design minimizes background interference. Additionally, the unit features a robust glass-fiber reinforced PBT housing for durability. Furthermore, the rectangular shape simplifies mounting on flat surfaces and conveyor frames.
Technical Specifications
The PZ-G101N operates on a supply voltage of 10 to 30 VDC. It consumes 34 mA or less of current. Specifically, the light source is a red LED with a spot diameter of approximately 5 mm at 100 mm. Moreover, response time is a quick 500 µs maximum. Users can select between LIGHT-ON and DARK-ON modes via a switch. The output is an NPN open collector type, rated for 30 V and 100 mA maximum. Besides, the residual voltage stays at 1 V or less.
Mechanical and Environmental Parameters
The sensor features a rectangular body with a dedicated mounting hole. The mounting hole part has a maximum tightening torque of 0.5 N·m. Meanwhile, the operating temperature range is -20 to +55 °C. The protection ratings include IP67 and IP69K, ensuring resistance to dust and high-pressure washdowns. Additionally, the PZ-G101N withstands shock of 1,000 m/s² and vibration from 10 to 55 Hz. Therefore, it performs well in harsh factory conditions.
Installation Guide
First, mount the sensor using the rectangular mounting hole. Ensure the fixing screw is tightened to the specified torque. Next, route the 2 m cable away from high-voltage lines. After that, adjust the 1-turn trimmer to set the sensitivity for your specific application. Finally, select the desired output mode using the operation switch. Therefore, verify the stable operation indicator is green for reliable performance.
